Online,Carter Hargrave and the American Combat Kenpo Articles you will find a lot of Carter Hargrave review and all of them points to one direction – the American Combat Kenpo is a unique form of martial arts and it has a lot of benefits.

This form of self-defense is a combination of jiu jitsu, amended Okinawan karate, and the use of various weapons. The American Combat Kempo or Kenpo is an exclusive self-defense technique and entire system founded and developed in 1992 by Carter Hargrave. Some of the different defensive techniques and strategies of this martial arts system were emulated and adapted by the US Marines in their physical training program. Aside from that, the American Combat Kempo has also been recognized by a great number of organizations and martial arts associations around the world.

Aside from being the Grandmaster of American Combat Kempo and two other disciplines, jiu jitsu and kung fu, Carter Hargrave also wrote three martial arts books: “The Original Carter Hargrave JKD Training Manual” which teaches the styles of Bruce lee, “Japanese Kempo karate Entrance To Secrets Manual” which deals with advanced training, and the basic outlined program for the American Combat Kempo is in the book “Japanese Kempo karate Manual”. The book that deals with Jeet Kune Do has become an international bestseller.

Many of the techniques and training involved in American Combat Kempo were developed for self-preservation in the urban streets. All ACK combat procedures are all on persistent review to make sure that the fighting maneuvers and tactics are all up to date. At the same time, the continuous assessment of American Combat Kempo techniques is to streamline the system and ensure that the most suitable and efficient street moves are consistent in practice with how they are really going to be used in true to life situations. American Combat Kempo also acknowledges the fact that different fighting techniques will merge and new ones will be developed.

With BJJ, MMA and other martial arts style becoming more popular worldwide, American Combat Kempo’s policy is to be open to change and become acquainted with other combat techniques. This can be done via cross-training. A few decades back, martial arts instructors were not so keen on the idea of forming alliances with other defense styles and merging of tactics is next to impossible. Today, the fluid execution of mixed martial arts has become an art in itself.
