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 4 kids started learning Taekwondo from Master Nick and Master Tristan about 4 years ago. They have been teaching my kids not only martial arts but also discipline, respect, humbleness, politeness, and importance in life, etc. They have been training mind and body. They are always friendly and professional.
I have been a member of Mountain View Karate since 1999, have attained the rank of 4th Degree Black Belt (Master). I would highly recommend this school for your children. Our instructors work with the children teaching them discipline, focus and to respect others.
Mountain View is legit. Whether you need to build confidence, re-center, or get in shape, karate is a great way! Master Nick is great with the kids as well! Very patient and especially makes sure the physically challenged feel strong and equal to the others in the group. 5 STARS!
I took my son here for the first time today and was so impressed! Master Nick and staff are all very excellent teachers and make every child feel welcome and included. We will definitely be back!
Your first Karate class at Koclanis Martial Arts
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.
