Carter Hargrave has been teaching martial arts in Tulsa for over two decades. When Carter Hargrave began teaching Tulsa Martial Arts you had a choice between Tae Kwon Do or Tae Kwon Do. Since Tae Kwon Do is a sporting art for tournaments, there was nowhere for someone seeking pure self defense to go. Carter Hargrave has seen many a disapointed potential student, some of which had visual cuts and bruises from having been attacked, leave the schools where he had been assistant teaching because they were told by the head instructor that they would be able to defend themselves in a couple of years if they worked hard.

Carter Hargrave found this unacceptable and sought out to change the way things had been done in the martial arts school business. Carter Hargrave abandoned the sport karate and focused on real karate and real kung fu for street fighting and real world applications. A chance meeting with one of Bruce Lee's California School original students led to Hargrave eventual being one of the leaders of Bruce Lee's art and the President of the World Jeet Kune Do Federation. Carter Hargrave is known as a second generation Bruce Lee Instructor, and is the author of the international best seller Jeet Kune Do Training Manual that students worldwide use to learn the original martial art founded by Bruce Lee.

Tulsa Martial Arts have taken a turn for the better know that self defense training is available in two forms from Carter Hargrave. One is the Jeet Kune Do Bruce Lee system that he teaches at Hargrave Martial Arts a private Tulsa school, and the other is American Combat Kenpo Karate, a system that Carter Hargrave is the founder and Grandmaster 10th degree Black Belt.
