Affiliated dojo — reviews and the dojo's own info point to a recognized Karate style organization or franchise (think Shotokan/JKA, Kyokushin, Goju-Ryu, Isshinryu, Tiger Schulmann's or Villari's). If lineage matters to you, ask which style and organization the dojo belongs to, and under whom the head sensei earned their black belt.

From the reviews
An amazingly dynamic school with training by one of the top instructors anywhere. With decades of experience, AC Rainey is one of the finest instructors I have ever seen. I'm very proud to have him as an integral part of my Association and even more proud to have him as a friend.
Mr. Rainey is a 9th degree black belt who still loves to teach white belts and marvels at their ability to learn. He is a patient teacher that informs as well as instructs. I have found him to be one of the best I have ever come across in 34 years of being involved in martial arts.
AC Rainey's Kenpo Karate studio is one of the most professional studios in the business, and Mr. Rainey is one of the most affluent black belts around. Mr. Rainey is a 9th degree black belt, and he is the "real deal" in the martial arts. He is famous in karate circles throughout the country and abroad.
Mr. Rainey is a master of kenpo who teaches with patience and creativity. His style and focus is on the student and helping them learn self defense in the real world while maintaining the techniques of Kenpo. He's a great teacher and a kind man. I highly recommend his school.
Your first Karate class at AC Rainey's Kenpo Karate
Nervous about walking into a Karate dojo for the first time? Almost everyone is, and a good sensei expects beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic stances, blocks, punches, and kicks — not hard sparring. Step to the side whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot. What to bring: water, and a mouthguard if you have one — many dojos lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi and the belt your dojo awards you. Kumite (sparring) eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the sensei. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
