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 was apprehensive about trying a new Karate place for my 5yr old because we went to another establishment for a year and a half and after a couple of months my son lost interest...but I was determined to have him go because I felt it would be beneficial to him. It was the only place we had ever gone and after 1.
For about a year now I’ve been attending premier martial arts. Personally I find myself anticipating the next class, eager to learn new things. The instructor (Master Bryant) is always very kind and enthusiastic. In my years of martial arts, master Bryant is definitely the greatest instructor I’ve ever known.
I have known Sensei Cole for 6 years. We have worked and trained together and I can tell you first hand he has a vast knowledge of martial arts and self defense techniques paired with the ability to reach children and adults at their own level. Give Premier Martial Arts a try. You won't be disappointed!
This place is a rare find. There are plenty to kid's gyms and martial arts class but none of them have an atmosphere that is as conducive and instructors as good as this place.
New to Karate? Start at Premier Martial Arts Johns Creek / Alpharetta
Premier Martial Arts Johns Creek / Alpharetta comes up as a beginner-friendly dojo — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or set foot in a dojo, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and the sensei scales the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable dojos build fundamentals (stances, blocks, punches, and kicks) for weeks, and kumite (sparring) eases in gradually, with pads and control. Third, all levels and ages really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most dojos are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first Karate class at Premier Martial Arts Johns Creek / Alpharetta
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.
