This school is phenomenal. It has everything I hoped for in a martial arts dojo - seriousness, academics, Zen philosophy, physicality and meditation. The space itself is also very special. Sensei has created a truly marvelous space. Sensei is tough but fair. He has a strict attendance policy which is understandable. Students are required to dedicate themselves to the practice so that it does not waste Senseis nor the other students time. Unfortunately for me, I had to drop out from the school after only one class because of family obligations which conflicted with the schedule and would have become a problem for my wife and son. I still agonize over leaving. Its been over 2 months since I last attended and I think about how (and how much) I learned at Sensokan nearly every day. If that doesnt say something about the quality and depth of education you can receive, then I do not know what can. My one hope is that perhaps someday, Sensei will allow me to return. He is a good man.

This is the best place to learn Martial arts. I have trained under Sensei for about 6 months and it had a huge impact on me. Sensei is strict and cares about you. Sensei is a fantastic teacher and keeps it real

The experience of a traditional Japanese martial art and a teacher who cares. The training is tough and rigorous and if you stick with it you will see the benefits.

Ted Hanulak is a true master. Perhaps one of the last great martial art teachers around. I trained under Hanulak Sensei for 7 years. First off, he never charged me a dime. Not a dime. I know this is unheard of today, but the Sensokan dojo is different in every way anyway so it makes sense.For 7 years he was always there. Always the same demeanor, always there to talk to. A true Zen master if you will, although Sensei would never claim such a title.There were many times I know he was very strict and tough. he had to let students go who were not following the rules of the dojo. I know this was hard for him but he did what had to be done. I almost got thrown out once for missing classes!I know Hanulak Sensei would be embarrassed to read this but I hope this helps others find him and his dojo if they are looking for real martial art training under a true teacher who actually cares.

The Sensokan is a great dojo and I highly recommend it.

I only trained at the Sensokan Dojo for a short time, but the experience was unlike anything I could have gotten elsewhere. I dont think there is another dojo like it.The self defense training, discipline, and overall atmosphere is one of great respect that honors the true spirit of the Japanese martial arts. Training at the Sensokan Dojo actually ruined martial arts for elsewhere. After leaving, I had no interest in training at other martial arts schools which now seemed to be nothing more than imagination or pretend, definitely having nothing to do with Budo.Training under Hanulak Sensei, I learned how to be detached and completely in whatever I am doing. Sensei probably has no idea what an impact he and the dojo had on my life because I didnt get to train as much as I wanted because of personal obligations, and family that needed me during some difficult times.I dont have many regrets in life, but #1 on my list is that I did not take every advantage of training more at the Sensokan Dojo before moving out of state. Thank you Sensei.

The Sensokan Dojo Indianapolis is one of the last true dojos around anywhere. Traditional yet practical, the Sensokan offers Japanese Jujutsu and Zen meditation combined creating an extremely effective form of self defense. Other schools are filled with children. Not this place. Walking into the Sensokan is like walking into feudal Japan. There is no place better.This is the real deal.
