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
“His being a 7th degree black belt is obviously impressive all in of itself but what endears us more to him and Shugosha Dragons is how he interacts with the kids.”
“John always includes a game at the end of every class and takes time to work with the kids one on one when they need it.”
“My daughter started taking the homeschooling class and I was so impressed by all the self defense she was learning that I joined the class myself.”

From the reviews
Love this place! The teachers here are extremely knowledgeable and constantly push the boundaries of what I know as possible. At Shugosha I am treated as family. I appreciate the attention that I get from my instructors to make sure I achieve my goals.
We've been training here for almost 3 years now and it's been such a positive experience for my family! My daughter started taking the homeschooling class and I was so impressed by all the self defense she was learning that I joined the class myself.
My kids have been going to class here for a couple years and the skills they have learned are so valuable in so many ways. Street skills, manners, safety, community are just a few things you can expect your kids to learn.
Myself and my sons have been with Shugosha since its inception. Great instructors and real life training!
Your first Karate class at Shugosha Contemporary Martial Science LLC
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.
