Grandmaster Carter Hargrave Martial Arts - Tulsa, Oklahoma

Riley Pope

Martial Arts isn’t just a hobby, it’s a life changing experience. I joined Professor Hargrave’s classes before I left for college to learn how to protect myself as a young female. Now many years later I have accomplished moving up in belt rank, teaching class once or twice, assisting another student on her black belt test and I can say in confidence I have enough skills to protect me and my family. Professor teaches us practical moves to use in every day life situations. They are easy enough for kids to understand but the most efficient for our safety. His classes are smaller in size for the best learning environment and prices are reasonable. You will get a sense of community and friendship you didn’t know you needed.

Professor Hargrave teaches martial arts in a very informal manner & is easy to learn from.
Solid structured & educational.
Even if you don't stick with it you will come away with skills that can be used if needed.

There is no other experience that beats learning from a true Grand Master of the Martial Arts, and Professor Hargrave is exactly that. He has more blackbelts than anyone can count, was awarded the rank of 10th degree for his development in the arts, and was enducted into the World Martial Arts Hall of Fame as instructor of the year on multiple accounts.

There is no other instructor in the the state of Oklahoma, let alone the city of Tulsa who is more qualified or capable of teaching you true self defense.

I have trained under Professor Hargrave for close to 10 years now, have achieved the rank of Nidan (2nd Dan Blackbelt), and have experienced a completely life changing transformation in the process.

When I started my journey in the martial arts I was very overweight, and under confident. Thanks to his instruction that has completely changed. Not only have I become more capable in Kempo Karate but I have also developed a much healthier lifestyle change both physically and mentally in the process.

On top of that, what the Professor teaches actually works!! I know from personal experience that what I've learned can save my life and/or others that I care about. If you want more details feel free to ask me about it in class.

Professor Hargrave is not your ordinary teacher. He has years of experience, training and accolades. His methodology is sound and his techniques are pain inducing. I have taken both private and public classes with The Professor and not only do you learn about Martial Arts but about life. He is always cracking jokes but when the kicks start flying it is all business.

We appreciate the small class size. Professor Hargrave and Sensai are very knowledgeable and easy to understand. Our family really loves the Hargrave method. It is really solid. When you graduate to a higher belt it is because you earned it.

By far the best option for our son. He is learning self defense and gaining self esteem. He loves the Sensei and Professor.

Best Kempo school in the US. Became Shodan in 2014.

This place is a complete joke, owned and instructed by a man with an ego larger than his brain. While reasonably priced, I recommend staying away from here.
