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
Great instructor, consistent advancement with hard work. My 11 year old son loves this place.
If you are looking for Karate in the west valley this place is it. I have known the instructor for over a decade and my son has been taking classes now for 3 years now. The instructor Mr. Chavez is amazing and great with all his students.
My son has been going for a little over 2 years now & we couldn’t be more grateful & proud to have Mr. Chavez behind us in shaping the young man my son is becoming. Such a personalized experience with instructors that really care about the students! Heavy emphasis on teaching the kids morals, respect & concentration!
Our son has a been a student at the Edward Chavez Kenpo Karate Institute for 4years. We can not speak highly enough about Master Chavez and his Kenpo Karate School. Master Chavez's patient approach to teaching karate and instilling its various aspects speaks highly of his dedication to his students' growth.
Your first Karate class at Edward Chavez Kenpo Karate Institute LLC
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.
