Dentōkan Dōjō Dentōkan Dōjō is a private traditional Japanese martial arts academy in Frankfort, Indiana. Rank for the arts taught here is certified by this federation.

Dentōkan Dōjō is a private traditional dōjō located in Frankfort, Indiana, which was established in order to preserve and offer disciplined instruction in the traditional martial arts of Okinawa and Japan. We believe in training in the martial arts the traditional way without the interference of organizational politics and without the inherent impediments of a more commercialized atmosphere. We be

long to the Sekai Dentōkan Bugei Renmei [World School of Traditional Martial Arts Federation], which was founded by Roy J. Hobbs as a means of providing instruction and certification in certain traditional martial arts of Japan. At Dentōkan Dōjō, you can expect to find an atmosphere that is simple and disciplined yet friendly and welcoming. A strong emphasis is placed on the comprehension and application of the underlying principles of effective technique as well as a strict adherence to proper protocol. This is not a sport karate dōjō; therefore, our training focuses on combat applicability in the context of life protection, not on point fighting or competitive sparring. The art that is represented at Dentōkan Dōjō is Shōrin Ryū Karatedō, which is an art with traditional roots in Okinawa.

「古人の跡を求めず、古人の求めたる所を求めよ。」
