Also in 1992 Hargrave formed the World Jeet Kune Do Federation to organize and disseminate the teachings of Bruce Lee and to help bring students and teachers together in cooperation and good will. He then formed the World Kempo Association to help further combat aspects of the art worldwide.
Carter Hargrave is the author of three martial arts books. “Japanese Kempo Karate Manual”, which is the outlined system of American Combat Kempo, “Japanese Kempo Karate Entrance To Secrets Manual” for advanced training, and “The Original Jeet Kune Do Training Manual” for the Bruce Lee style. While all have been very successful, the Original Jeet Kune Do Training Manual is an international best seller.
In 1995 Hargrave was the youngest person to be promoted to Professor of martial arts and he received the Instructor of the Year award for his teaching in Karate. In 1996 he received the award for Best Martial Arts School in the United States, and was recognized by U.S. Congress and the United States Senate for this achievement. In his spare time he volunteers teaching medical missionaries who go to hostile countries to administer emergency life services.
