I think most importantly, you need to find out what credible teachers there are in your area. After all, unless you live in Japan, many styles may not be taught near you.

So round about where do you live?

If you're interested in traditional Japan Karate Association shotokan karate, there is also a dojo in your area with a good instructor it seems. The website for the West Tennessee Karate Association is down, but you can contact the director (Ben Anderson) at wtnkarate@remgaz.com

The dojo is a member of the JKA, and the JKA/AF

Sorry, but, you're not going to like what I'm about to say because it's probably not what you're wanting to hear. It's very difficult to rate any school of the martial arts by viewing their website. Yes, I did look at the link, but, the website was very basic in information as well as in it's look.

Therefore, and this is with any school of the martial arts; VISIT THE SCHOOL SEVERAL TIMES! Then, make an informed decision.

Good luck and let us know.
