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
Okay here is my opinion grandmaster nam is truly skilled but thats over 50 years experience to gain 8th dan but his son gains a 7th dan in what maybe 25 years so his son needs another 25 years to gain the next rank I just saying maybe the son's rank maybe given to make the school look better just saying its either his…
All around great having flexible times, good instructors, and indoor/outdoor.... Its super fun & you feel accomplished!!
I have been at Nam's for over a year and love the atmosphere and learning environment. It's a great investment in my opinion.

Your first Karate class at Nam's Korean Karate School / Martial Arts Center
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.
