Welcome!
SHODOKAN is celebrating 60 years as a non-profit Martial Arts Center at our facility in Beverly, Massachusetts. We always welcome your visit!
In 1962, Shodokan started on the three pillars of modern Japanese Martial Arts, Judo, Karate, and Aikido. We have also been able to encompass Kendo and the allied, complimentary art of Arnis.
All arts have dedicated instructors. This allows members to "cross train" while majoring in one art. Any Shodokan member may study in any of our offered arts. 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, Discipline and Safety.
There is more to training in a traditional Dojo than the mere acquisition of techniques.
