Nations Aikikai - Houston Aikido

"I have recently moved to Houston and was ready to re-start my Aikido path (took a 2 yr break). I visited the dojo to ask some questions and ended up joining the training session on that day! I felt welcomed and right at home. Shihan Andujar is patient and eager to see us improve. There is a good mix of high and low level practitioners and a good martial attitude. If you are thinking to start a martial art, or re-take one, this is a good place to do it."

"I have sent two of my children to learn from Sensei Nelson. The Dojo atmosphere is amiable, and everyone is willing to help each other. I have visited every martial art schools on Westheimer, and everyone wants a contract and your money up front. I can tell you that Sensei Nelson is not doing it for the money. Aikido is a Japanese art for an intellectual person."

"I have practiced Aikido under Sensei Andujar for a long time. I enjoy the practice and I like his teaching .He is a very experienced Martial Art Master. His technical move and performance is on spot and you can learn lots of good things from him. I did and I still practice."

"I’ve practiced Aikido in various parts of the world and this is traditional aikido where proper dojo etiquette is observed at all times. I’m grateful for the excellent one-on-one instruction I’ve received in this dojo. There is a healthy distribution from beginners through experienced practitioners. You’ll find the atmosphere welcoming. Most importantly, no matter what your skill level is, I think you’ll leave each class a little more skilled than when you arrived."

"If you wish to commit to learning and becoming proficient in Aikido then Nations Aikikai is the place for you, and Nelson Andujar is your Sensei. The classes are fun without being frivolous, and thoughful without being austere. Sensei Nelson has an instructing style that clearly presents the logical foundation of what he is teaching. It all makes sense. I wouldn't go anywhere else to learn Aikido."
