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 place is awesome. My son loves the instructors and environment overall this is where your child needs to be. Glad my child is here.
Big w. Basically all I have to say. Instructors are nice and love the art as much as I do. When you go to the classes basically everyone is friends with eachother and everyone interacts well with other people. My mom liked it so much she decided to join maybe like 4 years after I did.
Very positive staff, great coaches. Work with kids of all ages. Many instructors
As someone who has been taught by these amazing instructors and was able to be an instructor for a time, Fresno Kenpo Karate is a great place to learn. The school has helped me in so many ways outside of the mat, and not just in fighting but in life and myself.
Your first Karate class at Fresno Kenpo Karate
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.
