Larry Hartsell is the man Dan Inosanto described as
"One of the premier Jeet Kune Do fighters of our time."

Larry Hartsell focused his efforts on the development of the Jeet Kune Do Grappling Association. With the tremendous rise in the popularity of the grappling arts it became paramount to Hartsell to demonstrate to martial artists the fact that Jeet Kune Do has had a strong emphasis on the grappling range for thirty years and that these thirty years have produced an extensive development of the grappling arts.

Larry Hartsell came into Bruce Lee’s school as a man with a black belt in Judo and over 10 years of experience in grappling as well as a strong foundation in the striking arts that began in 1961 with his training in Kenpo Karate under Ed Parker. Shortly after receiving his black belt rank from Ed Parker, he spent time in the Army including combat in Vietnam, where he served with military police.

Our training and certification program is available to everyone regardless of martial arts style. Our certification programs includes training through our high quality instructors world-wide. We offer private training, seminars and a yearly instructors workshop.

Although not a substitute for training with one of our certified instructors, we are actively pursuing a training program to assist you in preparing for initial instructor level certification by allowing you to review, train on your own, at your own pace and be remotely skill assessed (testing) through a training by video program (includes beginner, intermediate and advanced certification levels). Once you feel you are ready for instructor level certification, you must to seek out a certified Jun Fan/Jeet Kune Do Grappling Association representative or attend our yearly workshop.
