We would like to once again take the time to thank some very special and important people to us in our endeavor to honor Karate Commissioner Henry Slomanski. You will read the stories of his unprecedented achievements, ones that have never been repeated in the Martial Arts to this day. Only the best of the best that the United States military had to offer were able to train under him. The new articles that are now posted on this site are of much clearer detailed pages that were displayed prior.   We would like to express our deepest gratitude to his daughter, Susan Slomanski Flippen. Two of our good friends, Charlie and Gloria Wolf researched the Nashville Tennessee newspaper for these articles written in 1960.  Content and dates of these articles are very important in the true history of what Henry Slomanski was able to do. Charlie and Gloria were only able to obtain them in microfiche. Needless to say the copies were not the best quality due to the age.  We would like to thank Daneen Whinna, if not for her diligent research alone this article would have been lost forever.  Susan was so gracious to make photocopies of her original newspaper . We cannot express our gratitude enough to Charlie and Gloria Wolf for the research they performed. However, so much appreciation and thanks is to be given to Susan Slomanski Flippen for being so helpful.

It is our hopes that you, the reader, enjoy these articles and it sheds all new light into what really took place. In today’s world of Martial Arts, diluted styles and made up names, these articles discredit a lot of misnomers that have been told to date.
