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
I take martial arts here, let me tell you that it is the most AMAZING kung fu class i've been to. they give you a book that tells you all the rules,your gi (kung fu uniform) and much more.I've been to several martial arts classes, but this is the buissnes.
Principled, resourceful, understanding and professional master teachers who teach a lineage of knowledge that goes back several thousands of years. They have the ability to take complex information and explain it so that I can understand and apply the life principles of tai chi into my daily life.
I was very picky about choosing a martial arts school for my family. Too many seem to be all about money, flashy uniforms, two dozen different belts with multi colors and patterns, and of course black belts guaranteed in a defined, often unrealistically short, amount of time...
I’ve been this Martial Arts studio for almost a year and the experience has been great. The instructors are professional and friendly. It’s always an atmosphere of mutual respect and camaraderie between students and instructors.
New to tai chi? Start at Avondale Kung Fu, Tai Chi, Qigong, Yoga, and Meditation
Avondale Kung Fu, Tai Chi, Qigong, Yoga, and Meditation comes up as a beginner-friendly studio, going by its listing and students' reviews. If you've never tried tai chi, that's exactly who a good beginners class is for. A few things worth knowing before your first session. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — the movements are slow and gentle, you set your own pace, and many can be done seated if standing is hard. Second, there's nothing to buy and nothing to keep up with — wear comfortable clothes and flat, flexible shoes, and simply follow along. Third, all ages and abilities really are welcome — ask whether there's a dedicated beginners or all-levels class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most studios are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first tai chi class at Avondale Kung Fu, Tai Chi, Qigong, Yoga, and Meditation
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.
