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
For years I would drive by Bushido Knights Rue wondering what was going on in that all adult school as I rushed home from TaeKwonDo class to shower and get to my third shift job. Finally I was passing by on a night off and decided to check it out.
I currently train at the Bushido Ryu Dojo. It’s been a little over a year. I try to go twice a week. If I were to guess the ages range from 17-65 years old. Most of us came with no martial arts experience whatsoever. I am currently a purple belt. Both men and women train together and come from all walks of life.
The Best Self Defense Martial Arts School in South Florida. While most academies teach sport martial arts, this school prepares you for real life situations, street combat, hand to hand fighting, defense against sticks, knives, guns, even multiple attackers.
Bushido Ryu is in my opinion, one of the few true dojos in the U.S. outside of Japan. What is taught here is far more than just self defense or points based karate showmanship. I have been attending for roughly 3 weeks now, and my life has already been forever changed.
New to Karate? Start at Bushido Ryu Dojo -Krav Maga, Karate, Jujitsu, Dania Beach Fort Lauderdale
Bushido Ryu Dojo -Krav Maga, Karate, Jujitsu, Dania Beach Fort Lauderdale comes up as a beginner-friendly dojo — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or set foot in a dojo, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and the sensei scales the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable dojos build fundamentals (stances, blocks, punches, and kicks) for weeks, and kumite (sparring) eases in gradually, with pads and control. Third, all levels and ages really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most dojos are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first Karate class at Bushido Ryu Dojo -Krav Maga, Karate, Jujitsu, Dania Beach Fort Lauderdale
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.
