Tulsa Martial Arts School Hargrave Martial Arts teaches the hard hitting system of American Combat Kempo, or Kenpo as some call it. The fighting art is primarily developed from heavily modified Okinawan Karate, Ju Jitsu, and Okinawan Weapons.
The arts founder is the highest ranking martial arts teacher in Tulsa and is a descendant of Bruce Lees School in California (2nd generation instructor).
While this keno has departed from its traditional limited origins, the final arts beauty is in its direct and modern applications. Weapons of old are used for defense as well as the other side of the coin, modern edged weapons and firearms. In the Japanese Kempo Training Manual that Hargrave wrote lists his rules of combat which have nothing to do with fighting fair. The Kempo style also utilizes standard sparring to interact with other arts but Hargrave admits his standard fighting method is so severe that the sessions will be over in ten to twenty seconds.
Here is a student in competition MMA cage. The art was not intended for sport but if that is what you want to do…
“I have never had a student loose a real fight on the street, and there have been plenty due to some of the hazardous professions my students engage in. In the end if my legacy is that I helped keep honorable people safe from the bad guys, Im good with that” says Grandmaster Carter Hargrave.
