Aikido, is a practical martial art focused on defense, and control. It provides for scale-able defense suited toward a modern way of life. With many day to day benefits. We welcome inquiries and always look forward to meeting visitors and answering any questions you might have. Over 20 years ago, Sensei Lou Perriello and Sensei John Dore opened Methuen Aikido.
A decade of growth evolved the school and its membership greatly. Our dojo then moved to Salem NH and become Ki Rei Shinkan (school of courteous inner strength), an Aikido club established by members who were former students at the Methuen Aikido dojo. We are now Northeast Aikido again established by members who were former students.

Aikido is a martial art that is much more than a physical contest between two opponents. It is far more than simply a means of imposing one's will or inflicting damage upon another. Aikido is an avenue through which we can achieve spiritual serenity, mental tranquility and the deepest self-confidence through personal development, training the body, mind and spirit.
Aikido, as a martial art, is designed to neutralize an attack without injuring the attacker. It is the aikido practitioner's responsibility to protect the person attacking them from harm. The intent of using aikido should always be to restore harmony to a situation and end any violence without increasing aggression.
Aikido classes look physically demanding and they can be. But the pace of practice can be varied to suit any participant. Students must work with their capabilities and within their own current limitations but no one should be complacent. Each of us should be attempting to improve ourselves and work hard to increase our capabilities during each class and throughout our lives.
In our dojo, students should enter the mat from the shimoza side of the mat directly across from the kamiza. It is most appropriate to enter at the approximate location where you will be sitting at the start of class. Students line up at the beginning and ending of each class in a straight line at the edge of the mat opposite the kamiza and in order of rank.
2002 by Louis Perriello and John Dore. The success and vitality of our dojo exists only because of the wonderful previous efforts and current daily work of many friends and students. This dojo intends to provide Aikido instruction to interested adults and children regardless of the student's physical capabilities.
