Part of Wado-Ryu Karate
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
Sensei is a great guy and makes everyone comfortable in the class. Without him I wouldn’t be this far in my karate journey. I recommend to everyone to go to Karate Wado Kai including teens to join because we are looking for more people to join. You won’t regret it!
If your child is interested in competition and already working toward it, this is a great place to practice forms (Kata). Progress doesn’t happen overnight—it takes time, patience, and consistent effort. As parents, keeping our children on the right track is our top priority.
My son goes to Karate class and is looking forward to going to the class every week! Teacher provides different lessons every time, so kids enjoy new activities every time. The class is full of kids smiles.
A mi hijo le encanta asistir a sus clases de Karate , son muy divertidas y aprende mucho , el Maestro es paciente y amistoso con los niños y enseña disciplina y valores :-)
Your first Karate class at Karate Wado Kai and Jiu Jitsu
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.
