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).

From the reviews
I trained under Shihan Miura back in the 1980s, and recently returned after a 22 year break. Shihan still delivers classic Karate training the best way possible.
This is the best Dojo to learn traditional Japanese Karate, the Grand Sensei is a Japanese Legend in Karate. The instructor Sensei is an incredible teacher and such a nice person. This is where you come to learn real Karate tought by those that love the it. I highly recommend this Karate School, it is truly amazing.
I love it here, all of the other dojos I have been to are not serious like this one. You spare, and learn all of the basics. Very traditional. You actually learn karate
The best Karate Dojo in Chicago suburbs. Grand master and Sensei Arashi are very friendly, passionate and well dedicated to Karate. The best place to learn all basics of Karate.
New to Karate? Start at World Karate Do Miura Dojo
World Karate Do Miura Dojo 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 World Karate Do Miura 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.
