Nations Aikikai - Houston Aikido

Blending with an attack instead of meeting force head-on is the core idea at Nations Aikikai, Houston’s home for traditional Aikido and Japanese martial arts on Westheimer Road. The dojo is led by Shihan Nelson Andujar, a seventh-degree black belt instructor, and keeps classic Japanese dojo etiquette alive while staying genuinely welcoming to newcomers. Aikido here has no competition format — practice centers on redirecting an attacker’s energy into throws and pins. Students gather Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 6:45 to 9 plus Sunday morning sessions, a rhythm that suits working adults. Rated 4.8 across 17 Google reviews, the school serves west Houston near the Energy Corridor. Call 832-640-2784 or visit nationsaikikai.com to observe a class.
