Part of Shotokan Karate (JKA)
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
Five Star SKA karate Dojo, learn from qualified instructors having decades of experience.
Amazing, high-quality karate instruction. Learn not only refined karate technique from masters of Shotokan karate, but also how to discipline the mind and body, focus, think logically and strategically.
This dojo could not be a better fit for me! I’m an adult and new to Karate, and I get so much out of class every time. These classes are small enough that I can get personalized feedback and adjust my technique along the way. The instructors are knowledgeable, respectful and honor the traditional style of SKA.
Your first Karate class at Salt Lake City Shotokan Karate of America Dojo
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.
