The Web of Knowledge was developed in the late 1970's and first published in 1981 by SGM Parker as a tool for learning about the general layout of the curriculum from the standpoint of the Self-Defense Techniques and the Forms.
The design of the Web of Knowledge is to place various elements of the system in a column of categorization around a wheel like diagram with a categorization (grouping) heading at the top. The final design resembled a spider's web.
The design could be broken down and grouped within specific divisions. These divisions would typically be by belt ranking or the system as a whole - resulting in one large diagram or individual diagrams (one per belt rank).
A description and explanation of the Web of Knowledge can be further explored in: The Infinite Insights into Kenpo: Book 5 - Chapter 5.
