Part of Kenpo / Kempo 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
My son has a disability and I had been looking for a place for him to do some form of a martial art. I had hoped the exercises and skills would help his physical issues. One day I had the pleasure of crossing paths with Nick Chimento. He was running a karate class for individuals with special needs.
Cannot say enough about this amazing family. Mr. Nick, Mr. Eric and Miss Toni are so patient and willing to adapt to meet our kiddos where they are for that day. We do a private lesson for our 2 boys (8 and 5). We started a few years ago with just our oldest and added in our youngest about a year ago.
My son has been taking lessons here for the past 6 months and it has been a great experience. Mr. Nick, Miss Toni and Mr. Eric have have shown patience, creativity, kindness with my son and have provided him with the structure and foundation needed for him to grow and learn.
After searching for the right activity for my neuro diverse, legally blind child for a long time, I am so glad I was referred to the Kenpo Eagles Adaptive Karate program! My daughter loves every minute of her classes.
Your first Karate class at Kenpo Eagles Adaptive 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.
