Unfortunately, budo is not genetic. Doing up lineage charts like that one is even more useless than doing up the family history to see if you can get back to royalty somewhere... (and end up stalled at a nightclub in Soho in 1973).

Budo lineage charts are suitable for explaining the origin and development of a school, but to stick your own name down there at the end of it, as if you are the inheritor of the kingdom of England or the five schools of sword of Japan and the seven fists of Southern China is just a bit fanciful, unless you really are the inheritor of all that stuff.

Individuals would do much better to list their instructors if they are trying to indicate their potential skills (like I said, budo is not genetic and even the best breeders will tell you about horrible sports that need to be put down) and to simply name the school they're studying. With perhaps a lineage chart for their school, of the headmasters only.

As for naming ex-students, I hereby declare that all those students who no longer come to my classes are not my current students by reason of not being my current students. Lists of names available upon request. Ex-students can have their names removed from said list by showing up for class.
