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
I have been studying kali here for two and a half years and I only have positive things to say about Nomad Kali and Combat Fitness. Learning, growth, camaraderie, and respect are all pillars that this school is built on.
This is a amazing school worth 10 stars. Sensei Frankie and Sensei Royce are amazing teachers. They work with kids as young as 5 years old all the way up to adults. Sensei Frankie is great with the kids, the kids love him and he has a natural positive aura that can fill the room.
I enjoy doing Kali it is fun and challenging. It has helped me both physically and mentally. The students are great and so are the instructors. Support is a main key at this school and adults always supports the kids. The cost is right and just. I have had no issues or negative comments.
Royce and his staff are amazing instructors for their students. I am very impressed with their professionalism. Their prices are great for everyone. You are paying for their knowlege which is beyond excellent. You will not be disappointed with the rare gem. I highly higly recommend Nomad Kali to everyone!!!!
Your first Karate class at Nomad Kali & Combat Fitness
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.
