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
This is such a great school. My kid absolutely loves it. The kids class (little dragons) was so much fun that I decided to join the teen/ adult class. I'm sure watching this 48 year old roll around is amusing, but it's a super family friendly environment.
Me and the wife have been battling the fact that in today's society our kids will need to be able to defend themselves against certain dangers. These dangers range from physical to mental. While searching for a martial arts program that I felt was going to fill those needs.
Long story short: Sifu Joseph is humble, kind, courteous, and patient. He's willing to work with his students at their individual pace, and has the experience, expertise, knowledge, and credentials to provide incredible instructions in martial arts, and in life.
Sifu Joseph & Kajukenbo were that missing link for this special needs family!! We came to Bautista Kajukenbo hopeful, but skeptical as we’ve tried other programs for our neurodiverse son only to be disappointed. If you’re a special needs parent, you know exactly what I’m talking about!
Your first Karate class at Bautista Kajukenbo MMA
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.
