Certified instruction — reviews and the studio's own info point to a recognized tai chi program or lineage (think Tai Chi for Health / Dr. Paul Lam, the Taoist Tai Chi Society, or a named family-style teacher). If credentials matter to you, ask which program the instructor is certified in and which style they teach.

From the reviews
Going onto year six and couldn’t be happier! The quality of teaching is top notch. The sincerity and dedication of the Grandmasters in handing down such an amazing style of martial arts is simply undeniable and you can just witness, feel and experience that zeal overflow from them to the masters, the instructors and…
I was searching for a martial arts school for my son, who was 5 at the time. I think I visited all of the schools in Burbank. I sat in and watched their children’s classes before I decided on American School of Martial Arts.
American School of Martial Arts is pretty much one of the best decisions I’ve ever made in my life. Not only have I learned a way of life that has translated into every part of my being, I never thought I would find a family and a home here. The Grandmasters and owners are exquisite, fine, elegant and mighty fighters.
I’ve been training at this school for over 10 years and I learned a lot of self-defense techniques and Martial Arts principles. I still have a lot to learn but now I have better physic and awareness. The Grandmaster is a world-class teacher, and everyone is very friendly.
Your first tai chi class at American School of Martial Arts -Burbank
Nervous about walking into a tai chi class for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good instructors expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a gentle warm-up, then learning a few slow movements of the form, step by step — no pressure to get it perfect, and you can rest or sit whenever you need to. What to wear: loose, comfortable clothing you can move in, and flat, flexible shoes (some studios practice in socks or bare feet). What to bring: water, and that's about it — there's no equipment to buy. Arrive a few minutes early to say hello to the instructor and mention it's your first class. It comes together faster than you'd think — most people feel far more at ease by their second or third visit.
