SHODOKAN is now celebrating over 45 years as a non-profit Martial Arts Center in Salem, Massachusetts and welcomes your visit!

Starting in 1962 on the three pillars of modern Japanese Martial Arts - JUDO, KARATE, and AIKIDO - we have been able to encompass KENDO and KYUDO and the allied, complimentary arts of ARNIS, T'AI CHI, and YOGA.

ALL arts have dedicated instructors, each with a minimum of 10 years TEACHING experience. This allows members to "cross train" while majoring in ONE art. Although we maintain a friendly, club-like Dojo, no compromise is made in the Traditional SELF-DEVELOPMENT GOAL of Martial Arts Training based upon Courtesy, Respect, and Discipline.

There is More to training in a Traditional Dojo than the mere acquisition of techniques.
