- Henry_Slomanski abstract "Henry "Hammering Hank" Slomanski (Evansville, New Jersey, June 18, 1928 - Richmond, Virginia, April 23, 2000) was a karate champion and later the International Commissioner of Karate in the United States. Slomanski began his karate training in Japan while a non-commissioned officer in the U.S. Army. The type of karate practiced by Slomanski was Chitō-ryū. After retiring from the Army, Slomanski became an ordained minister in the Eastern Orthodox Church of the East.Slomanski joined the U.S. Army on June 26, 1946. Over six feet two inches tall and possessed of superb physical fitness, Slomanski rose through the ranks to end his military career as a Sergeant-Major, having served in airborne infantry, ranger (commando), and special forces units. Slomanski served in combat in the Korean War and the Vietnam War, retiring from the Army in 1966.Slomanski was awarded 3 Purple Hearts, 1 Silver, and a Bronze for his exceptional leadership as well as injuries sustained while serving in Korean War.While on military assignment in Japan, Slomanski began his training in karate under the guidance of Dr. Tsuyoshi Chitose, a karate master. An outstanding student, Slomanski went on to become the karate champion of Japan in 1953. In 1956, he was named the International Commissioner of Karate in the United States.Among the notable students of Slomanski over the years, two of the most famous would be Elvis Presley. and Dan Inosanto (Dan widely known as Bruce Lee's close friend and training partner)Hank awarded Elvis his first Black Belt in 1960. And while Elvis Presley's legitimacy for his rank over the years had come into question in martial arts circles, many that trained with Hank have stated that if anyone (including Elvis) ever earned a Black Belt from Hank, you can bet it was earned. He was a no-nonsense man that did no-one favors. And according to Ed Parker Elvis wasn't asking for favors. But even if he had, Hank wouldn't have given him one. But to Elvis' credit Hank tested Elvis hard and tried to break him but found out that Elvis had a true "fighters spirit".Dan Inosanto was already a well-rounded martial artist and tough man in his own right when he came to Hank Slomanski, but sought him out for supplemental training (this was before Dan met Bruce Lee) because he heard of Hanks reputation from others as THE guy to go to. Hank was among the toughest of the tough, who just happened to be a great martial artist. Dan has stated he learned quite a bit from Hank.After his retirement from the military, Slomanski studied at the Maranatha Eastern Orthodox Bible Seminary and later became an ordained minister in the Eastern Orthodox Church of the East. Slomanski died in April 2000 at the age of 71.".
