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
Awesome experience. My wife, son and I all are students here and we love it. Incredible tradition and lineage, terrific students, and a world class and caring instructor... cannot recommend this place highly enough. The changes in my 5y/o are stunning.
I train in Kykoushin Karate back home, and I'm in the same martial arts lineage through Shigeru Oyama. I came into Atlanta for work a few ago and I stopped in for a training session. The guys were very friendly and welcoming and I worked up a good sweat.
Excellent place to train, the instructor corrects my form and mistakes that I make with precision and appropriately gets my bad habits out of me.
Love this place! Such a great place to learn and practice. Great people and great instructor!
Your first Karate class at World Oyama Karate
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.
