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.

I can not say enough great stuff about The Lebanon Dojo. We put our son in the dojo about 2 years ago and he has opened up and is so comfortable there. All the instructor are amazing. They take the time to make sure all the students are learning the skills for isshinryu. I would recommend The Lebanon Dojo to anyone.

★★★★★ — Victor, Jul 2019

This is by far the best dojo out there, you learn so much about Isshinryu karate. They also have the best instructors, Mr. Tony, Ms. Sandra and Mr. Jeff just to name a few. I started two years ago and I am now a blue belt. The dojo is my second home. I am very proud to be apart of this dojo.

Your first Karate class at The Lebanon 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.

Karate is a contact sport. Ease in, train within your limits, listen to your instructors, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
