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 Edmond Parker, Sr. Shortly after receiving his black belt rank from Parker, Hartsell spent time in the Army including combat in Vietnam, where he served with the elite military police. Hartsell, already an accomplished Judo man, Larry enjoyed sparring with soldiers from the elite South Korean ROK division stationed nearby. Upon his return to this country he enrolled in Bruce Lee's Chinatown school in Los Angeles. It was at this school that Hartsell began his thirty five years of training under Guro Dan Inosanto, which he continues to this day. Hartsell's training under Bruce Lee continued with Private instruction at Bruce Lee's home in Bel Air, California.
Larry Hartsell's skill in hand-to-hand combat, his weapons training and his development of techniques in the grappling range led to a wide and varied range of professional experiences. With his training under Bruce Lee, his degree in criminology, his ten years of law enforcement experience, and his training under Dan Inosanto, Hartsell has been in wide demand as a professional bodyguard for celebrities like Mr. T of the A-Team fame and as a trainer for both the Dallas Cowboys and the San Francisco 49ers. In addition to this he has taught classes at his own schools as well as at the Inosanto Academy, and has offered self defense and combat courses for the elite Navy Seals and police officers through various colleges, agencies and elite law enforcement training programs.
Hartsell is the man Dan Inosanto described as "One of the premier Jeet Kune Do fighters of our time." Currently Hartsell has 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 has become paramount to Hartsell to demonstrate to martial artists the fact that Jeet Kune Do has had a strong emphasis on the grappling range. Hartsell over the past thirty years has produced an extensive development of the grappling arts. The Jeet Kune Do Grappling Association currently has 22 United States and 17 International Representatives worldwide. Hartsell continues to offer seminars through his members' schools as well as through five international tours yearly. Additionally, he offers private intensive training programs to a number of students worldwide in Marina del Rey, California.
