Hartman gives seminars and camps across North America and Europe.[4] In June 2005, Hartman was promoted to 9th degree by the WMAA Advisory Board.[5] This promotion reflected his leadership position within the WMAA, and was not meant to replace the rank that he earned from Presas.

On April 23, 2007, Hartman was promoted to 9th degree in Kombatan and awarded the Grandmaster title by Presas.[citation needed]
