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).

From the reviews
I go to this wonderful school and it is so amazing and i recommend it a lot! It's for children over five and adults. It has kickboxing too! It's great if you want your children to learn self defense. It's also amazing to get your child in line and to learn manners! I heavily recommend this place for you or your child!
I joined Master Jordan's Cardio Kickboxing class due to a work tragedy, with the thought I just need to keep my mind and body busy for a while. I looked all over the Pittsburgh area for a place to just try Cardio Kickboxing.
Our 6 year old son started karate at East Coast Karate over a year ago and has really come a long way with respect to his ability to focus and his fine motor skills. He is proud of his accomplishments as he just earned his orange belt and has decided he wants to continue. His reason?
During my internship in Pittsburgh I joined the cardio kickboxing classes at the East Coast Karate Academy with Mr. C. Jordan. He and his team are incredibly skilled in Martial Arts, have lots of experience in training people with all sorts of fitness backgrounds and are able to guide you to a new level of endurance.
Your first Karate class at East Coast Karate Academy
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.
