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.

The classes they run
“From that first moment where Coach Joel welcomed my son and me into their awesome, clean studio, we knew signing up for a month of unlimited classes was for us!”
“They also have adult classes, honestly I am working up enough courage to attend them and will post an update review about that once I do attend the adult classes.”
“The best part is, they go over the proper technique one on one with each student during class when using weapons or hand to hand (punching, kicking and blocking).”
“Whether you’re looking to build confidence, improve fitness, or learn self-defense, this is the place to be.”
Other martial arts here
“As a person who never did MMA, I must say that I wish they would have parent/student sessions because it looks like a good work out.”

From the reviews
I had been thinking about martial arts for my son for a while. He is a very sweet boy but he for sure needs some discipline and I thought this would be a great fun way to achieve that. An offer for a free class came up on an ad so I jumped on it. My son loved it and I signed him up officially.

Our son is 3 and loves going to his class. It’s been a great way to get out his energy and helps him practice discipline, focus, and respect. Teachers are great with the kids
We stumbled upon PMA when we had some time to kill before a swim lesson. From that first moment where Coach Joel welcomed my son and me into their awesome, clean studio, we knew signing up for a month of unlimited classes was for us! This has been the best choice for us as my son has grown in so many ways.
Your first Karate class at Premier Martial Arts Denville
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.
