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
Idaho Kenpo lead an amazing self defense class for our all girls workout club here at Boise State University. Our members were able to gain confidence in defending themselves and were able to practice some new skills. Questions were answered, everyone felt comfortable working and learning with the team.
every woman needs to learn self defense from them! i feel prepared in case of something now and they gave so many safety tips you wouldn’t think about!! the energy was amazing and so empowering!
Such an approachable and empowering experience for beginners learning self defense! Fantastic instructors and great organization! can’t wait for future classes.
Lead an amazing self defense class! They taught us super important and valuable information!
Your first Karate class at Idaho 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.
