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
Best Kenpo Karate studio in Ventura County!! Authentic and powerful Ed Parker's Kenpo passed down directly from his own students, Bryan Hawkins, Barbara Hale, and Rich Hale. Fantastic and dedicated instructors! Great place for both kids and adults. Highly recommend.
Best karate school in the county! Disciplined with a kind and supportive community, great history and skills but incorporates new techniques and styles. This kenpo school is always learning and evolving but keeping the foundation it was built upon. If you're looking for real karate and community, this is it!
Very welcoming atmosphere! All the instructors are very friendly, skilled and patient. You can see that they really love what they do.
Your first Karate class at Bryan Hawkins Kenpo Karate Camarillo
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.
