ARTICLES

As some may know, part of my Jeet Kune Do training was conducted under the lineage of Larry Hartsell’s Jun Fan/JKD Grappling Association. Sifu Hartsell was a great martial artists and one of the nicest people you could ever meet. He was fascinated with exploring all arts and in particular their grappling aspects. The following is an interview originally published by Combat magazine of the United Kingdom. It was written by Mick Shore and was conducted at Sifu Larry Hartsell’s personal gym in Los Angeles California.

Enjoy!-Ken Lones (and yes, I use to have a baby face )

On Bruce Lee, Dan Inosanto, JKD & life after 40 years in Martial Arts!

Q: WHEN & HOW DID YOU GET INVOLVED WITH MARTIAL ARTS?

LARRY HARTSELL: I started in 1957/58. I was playing high school football in Charlotte, North Carolina. I was on the wrestling team too. A judo instructor from the East-South Judo Club in California moved to town and trained us twice a week at the local YMCA. That was my very first experience with martial arts. I graduated from high school with a football scholarship into Jr. College. There I started training in Tang Soo Do with some visiting Korean students.

There were only three books out on karate at that time. One was “Kyokushinkai, The Way of Truth” by Masutatsu-Oyama. One by Ed Parker on Kenpo Karate and another was on Shotokan by Hidetaka Nishiyama. I left my home in North Carolina and moved to California in 1961 and soon started my training with Hidetaka Nishiyama at UCLA in Los Angeles.

One night in 1961, by fate I drove by a Kenpo Karate school and for the first time saw Ed Parker with Dan Inosanto conducting a class. I watched and thought, “This is more for me than Shotokan”. I began training in that until 1964 when I got drafted into the army. I served three years and trained with some army instructors. I kept it up when I went to Vietnam from 1966-67. I was also a military policeman. After my discharge, I returned to California and started training again with Ed Parker and Dan Inosanto, who’d introduced me to SiGung Bruce Lee.

Q: WHAT PROMPTED YOU TO TRAIN WITH BRUCE LEE WHEN YOU WERE ALREADY TRAINING WITH AN ACCOMPLISHED MARTIAL ARTIST AND A BLACK BELT IN JUDO AND KENPO?

5

LARRY HARTSELL: I’d met Bruce at the 1964 Long Beach Internationals held at the Convention Center and was impressed at how quick he was! I was home on leave before going to Vietnam and was sparring at Ed’s Kenpo Karate studio when in walked Bruce. He asked me if he could move around with me for a bit so I sparred with him, but there was no way I could touch him! It was like a cat playing with a mouse! I was pretty big back then too, because of all the power-lifting I did while stationed in Alaska before going to Vietnam. Lifting weights and practicing martial arts was all there was to do there.

Q: WHAT TYPE OF TRAINING DID BRUCE LEE HAVE YOU DO & HOW DID YOU DEVELOP IT?

LARRY HARTSELL: Well, he was constantly changing his JKD by adding and deleting at the Chinatown school. At first he wasn’t so into grappling, but he started to incorporate it more towards the end. He was training with Judo Gene LeBell, Hayward Nishioka, Wally Jay and he also did Silat with a guy I think was named, John Ritter. Bruce was constantly borrowing a variety of aspects from different martial arts such as Thai boxing (He called it the John L. Sullivan of the ring) and French Savate. It was mostly very physical boxing /Kickboxing. I got most of my grappling from my Judo training and slowly incorporated it from trapping into grappling. A lot of my grappling also came from Guro Dan Inosanto and the Filipino martial arts. Later on I worked with Yorinaga Nakamura from Shoot-wrestling. Nowadays Erik Paulson, a student of mine I am very proud of, keeps me up to date with all the latest moves, though everything comes together a lot more after forty years of being in the arts. I try to put together what works for me specifically.

Q: DO YOU THINK BRUCE WOULD HAVE GONE MORE INTO GRAPPLING HAD HE LIVED?

LARRY HARTSELL: He was experimenting with grappling before he passed away. He had somewhere around thirty-three established grappling moves in his “Tao of Jeet Kune Do”. You can see a lot of his drawings and illustrations in there.

Q: HOW DO YOU REMEMBER YOUR SIGUNG BRUCE LEE?

LARRY HARTSELL: I remember him as a very charismatic person. You couldn’t believe how quick or how strong he was!

Q: YOU WENT ON TRAINING WITH GURO DAN INOSANTO AFTER BRUCE LEE’S DEATH. WHAT KIND OF TRAINING DID YOU DO WITH DAN?

LARRY HARTSELL: We came up in the Shoot-wrestling ranks together. We trained together with Yori Nakamura. We also both trained in Lameco Eskrima under Guro Edgar Sulite. I still train today with Guro Dan, when he has the time (He is extremely busy!). I am his student and always will be!

Q: THESE DAYS YOU USE THE BRAZILIAN GUARD POSITION, IS BRAZILIAN JIUJITSU SOMETHING THAT’S INFLUENCED YOU RECENTLY OR SOMETHING YOU’VE BEEN WORKING ON FOR A WHILE?

LARRY HARTSELL: I’ve been asked this question before. I really like Brazilian Jiujitsu. Guro Dan is a black Belt in Machado Jiujitsu

and he’s trained me a lot in it! We used that same guard position when I was doing Judo but there it was referred to as the scissors. I enjoyed the blend of Filipino Dumog, Judo, Jiujitsu, Sombo and Shoot-wrestling.

Q: WHAT ARE THE AIMS OF THE JUN FAN JEET KUNE DO GRAPPLING ASSOCIATION THAT YOU’VE FOUNDED?

LARRY HARTSELL: The aims of the association are to promote Jun Fan Jeet Kune Do concepts and to keep martial arts alive. SiGung Bruce was experimenting with grappling before he died and that’s why I founded the JFJKDGA. Some say Bruce didn’t do any grappling but that is not true. He had quite a bit of it. Watch his movies and check out all the neck locks, arm bars and cranks he entered through the trapping and sometimes the kicking ranges!

Q: HOW DO YOU KEEP YOURSELF IN SHAPE WITH YOUR HECTIC SCHEDULE?

LARRY HARTSELL: I just try to keep a proper diet and mostly I just train. I enjoy teaching because watching students perform brings back certain things, it sort of clicks your memory and you actually learn through your students quite a bit. I enjoy seeing people grow in the martial arts. That’s why I encourage them to train under other instructors too, see what they offer and be prepared to learn from anyone. I’ve trained so many people over twenty-five years! I’ve been doing seminars all over the world and now there are quite a few of my apprentice instructors and full instructors out there who teach as well if not better than I do!

Q: WHAT ARTS WOULD YOU RECOMMEND IN THE ABSENCE OF A LOCAL JKD INSTRUCTOR?

LARRY HARTSELL: Well, some people want just self-defense. Others might want physical conditioning. I think they should look within themselves to find out why they want to do a martial art, i.e. competition or whatever. I think Judo or any grappling art, boxing, kickboxing or anything that feels right is what you should do. Look at the instructor you may train with and if you feel good about it, then do it!

Q: WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE NO-HOLDS BARRED, MIXED-MARTIAL ARTS COMPETITIONS NOW IN VOGUE?

LARRY HARTSELL: I think they are good and it’s great to see competitors getting paid more instead of just getting nothing. I definitely believe that you need weight classes, though. There’s an old saying that, when all else is equal, strength will tell! So if you and I have the same technical knowledge but I’m bigger than you and have better conditioning, then the stronger of us will win.

Q: YOU TRAINED WITH THE LATE PUNONG EDGAR SULITE. WHAT WAS HIS TRAINING LIKE?

LARRY HARTSELL: His systems made us realize the value of conditioning with the fighting sticks. He embellished about six different Filipino martial arts, the main ones being Sulite, Moderno Largos, Ilustrisimo, Cabellero, Pekiti Tirsia and others that he combined into the Lameco system. We would strike with the sticks until our hands bled. The blood in my hand from the blisters was the only thing that kept me holding on to the stick! But that was good because he really made you appreciate the value of striking, and not just fancy twirling that’s not real. His system was very combative and was made for self-defense and competitions.

Q: WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER FILIPINO ARTS?

LARRY HARTSELL: Panantukan, Pananjakman, Filipino boxing/kickboxing and Sikaran each contain different variations. From what I’ve seen, a lot of Pangamut is based on the dagger, using the same motion with the hands, or baston, or double stick. It all interchanges between empty-hands through trapping to weapons. American boxing used a wide stance and fists held forward in the John L. Sullivan style. When this way reached the Philippines it was worked into what they did. Filipino boxers would slip, dodge, bob & weave because this was weapons orientated training transferred to the empty hand. This change worked it’s way back to America and famous champions like Jack Dempsy started to bob & weave up under the punches. It was rumored a Filipino trainer taught Jack to slip instead of just bulling in taking the other guy out.

Q: OVER THE YEARS, WHICH MARTIAL ART MASTERS HAVE IMPRESSED YOU THE MOST?

LARRY HARTSELL: I’m impressed every time I see Guro Dan Inosanto. I just have to stand back because it’s unreal! There have been so many great martial artists at the Inosanto Academy, including Edgar Sulite, Leo Giron and Gene LeBell. So many people there have impressed me. I just wish I could be like some of those guys!

Q: YOU WERE A BODYGUARD IN THE 1970’S & 1980’S FOR SOME CELEBRITIES?

LARRY HARTSELL: Yes. I was a bodyguard for Mr. T (From the A-Team) and Larry Flint. Cliff Stuart and I worked together to provide personal security for some wealthy people. I did body guarding so I could have the money to train my martial arts. It was interesting work.

Q: WHAT IS YOUR PLAN FOR JEET KUNE DO IN THE FUTURE?

LARRY HARTSELL: I’d like to see it grow, to promote the Filipino arts and to see people keep up the Grappling. I want to see people get along, cross-train and keep JKD alive! I want to see my organization continue to grow.

Q: WHOM DO YOU CREDIT FOR HAVING THE GREATEST BENEFIT ON YOUR TRAINING?

LARRY HARTSELL: Guro Dan Inosanto! He’s been my mentor and inspiration.

(Standard Interpretation) Attacker executes a right punch from a right forward stance. Defender steps back into a left for-ward stance and executes a left high block striking to PC-6. Grab the wrist at HT-5 and LU-8 while stepping into a right half-front-horse-stance, executing a right downward knife-hand (Shuto) strike to the biceps at HT-2. Continue with a knife-hand strike to the side of the neck at LI-17 and LI-18. Shift into right forward stance and execute a left punch and then right punch to solar plexus at CV-14. Step back into left forward stance with a left down block. Block to PC-6. Grab wrist at HT-5 and LU-8. Knife-hand strike to HT-2 and to LI-17 and LI-18. Double punch to CV-14.

Controlling/destructive (ke) cycle: Fire controls Metal (fire melts or liquefies metal)

Pericardium Point #6 (PC-6 Neigwan) This is a major set-up point used in kyusho-jutsu. About 90% of all the other vital point strikes can be set up by using this point first. Striking this point can upset the yin/yang balance in the body, causing confusion internally. PC-6 is a great qi drainage point that can cause nausea. This point is a passage (luo) point and the master point for the yin wei mai extraordinary meridian. Large Intestine Point #17 & 18 (LI-17 Tianding & LI-18 Futu) Both of these points are notably dangerous when struck individually and more so when used to-gether. They can cause unconsciousness or possible death. Set up points are PC-6 and LI-12. When LI-18 is used simultaneously with ST-9 (due to their close proximity) it can have a very deadly conclusion. Note: Be extremely careful if using these points.

Lung Point #5 (LU-5 Chize) This is a major set-up and qi drainage point and is used a great deal in kyusho-jutsu. When used as a set up for other vital points can have devastating result; it also works very well by itself. Striking this point can do great damage to the entire arm and upset the balance in the upper body and could cause unconsciousness. Located on the radial aspect of the transverse crease of the elbow. Liver Point #14 (LIV-14 Qimen) This can be a very deathly point when struck; it can easily cause unconsciousness or even de-layed death. Relatively easy to access and has connections with the spleen meridian and yin wei mai extraordinary meridian. PC-6 and LU-5 are both great set up points for LIV-14. Note: be ex-tremely careful when using this point. Spleen Point #17 (SP-17 Shidou) This is a great qi drainage point and can cause tremendous pain when struck. Set up points are PC-6, HT-5, LU-8 and TH-8. Conception Vessel Point #14 (CV-14 Juque) Located at the solar plexus just below the xiphoid process. This point can be seriously danger-ous when struck and could result in death. CV-14 is the alarm (Mu) point of the heart meridian and could stop the heart. A good set up point can be PC-6, but works very well by itself. When using this point strike straight inward, slightly upward or slightly downward. Note: be careful when using this point.

NEWS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS HEADS UP!! I will be making the rounds in the upcoming months recruiting and volunteering unsuspecting help for the VOICE. As part of the SERIES format I have contemplated, I will need help with self defense methods and scenario training. I want to use this as an opportunity to open up the ranks of MAUSA so we can get to know one another better. It will also give us an opportunity to open our minds related to comparative styles. What I envision is providing a set number of people with a specific attack. You then will have to write a short response to that attack with 5-6 pictures walking through the steps of your defense while staying true to a specific art. Whose game?

DID YOU KNOW?

Anyone remember “Al Bundy” and the “Married…with Children” sitcom? Ed O’Neill, the actor who played Al, can now be seen on the ABC sitcom “Modern Family”. But did you know….Ed is a black belt in Gracie Jiujitsu. After being introduced to Brazilian JiuJitsu by his friend, John Milius, O’Neill has trained in the art for twenty two years under Rorion Gracie. He received his black belt in 2007.

SAYING OF THE MONTH

In defensive tactics it is not a matter of matching your strength and power against the strength and power of your opponent but, rather, the direction of all your strength and power toward your opponent's weakness.

A special shout out to Sarah Caum. She competed in November at NAGA in Nashville. She won Gold in No-gi and Silver in Gi.
