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
So far it's been great. My son visited a month a go for the free trail class. He enjoyed himself so much he kept asking me to join. Now we are 2 classes in and he is loving it. The staff here is kind.
Exactly what we were looking for! My son has learned so much in the few weeks he’s been taking classes. He looks forward to each class and I’ve noticed a big difference in his behavior and his confidence. Mr. Randy and Mr. Matt teach discipline and respect while guiding the kids in their technique.
My son has loved jumping right in to the classes at Premier Martial Arts. He is usually nervous to start new things but his nerves melted away as soon as he walked in. Everyone there is so welcoming and warm and great with the kids. My younger twins are begging for their chance to join.
My son has enjoyed his first few classes here at PMA! I have noticed a great difference in his behavior at home as well. Mr.Matt made us feel welcomed from the time we walked in the door. Coach Randy is super patient with the kids while keeping them engaged. HIGHLY recommend!
Your first Karate class at Premier Martial Arts Concord
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.
