                World Jeet Kune Do Federation, also founded by Carter Hargrave, offers a DVD ranking system that is best both in sales and content. Hargrave did a revolutionary work when creating these videos because he managed to conceive them to be just like private lessons with him. They are nothing like other videos available on the market. Each one is focused on training for a certain rank level and they are all made by certified instructors. Once the student orders them he can start training at his own peace and when ready, he just has to record the moves he learned and to send them back. Hargrave personally grades all the students and takes the time to offer them advice on the things they should correct or improve at their moves. DVD training is also available for those interested in American Combat Kempo.

                Carter Hargrave also promotes these two styles in the three books he wrote. The most successful one, “The Original Jeet Kune Do Training Manual” is an international bestseller and it focuses on Bruce Lee’s teachings, offering comprehensive information about them. The other two deal with American Combat Kempo. One outlines the system and is conceived for both students and teachers. It is called “Japanese Kempo Karate Manual”. The other one, “Japanese Kempo Karate Entrance to Secrets Manual”, was wrote in order to meet the needs of those interested in advanced training in this art.
