It is typically a large room with mats on the floor and mirrors on the walls, and is often used for practicing kata and sparring. The instructor usually has a black belt in karate and teaches students the basics of the martial art. Karate schools are often associated with a particular style of karate, such as Shotokan or Goju-ryu.
