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
This place is amazing! My son (6 years) hates all sports and is not into anything physical. He also is pretty emotional and has a temper. I feel like this class is REALLY good for him. From self control to discipline and respect for himself and others the class teaches physical fitness and good values.
Our family loved our time at Premier Martial Arts! Sensei John is such a fun, dedicated, caring and dynamic instructor. He instilled a lot of energy, encouragement and discipline for our son. We highly recommend anyone to check out the program!
I really like PMA! The instructors are very helpful and keep the kids motivated. Great way to learn self confidence and karate skills.
My daughters began their martial arts training six years ago, at the age of 4, with Premier Martial Arts in Scottsdale. They have thoroughly enjoyed the experience while at the same time, developing self-discipline and confidence.
Your first Karate class at Premier Martial Arts Scottsdale
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.
