Tai Chi for Arthritis Certified Private lessons

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

Jeff is a great teacher! Great environment to learn - my coordination, balance, strength, and self-defense has greatly improved after only a few months classes. Great value as well.

★★★★★ — Jenna, Oct 2017

This school is the best around and offers the most effective instruction in town. There is no place that comes as close to true traditional kung fu as the Chinese Kung Fu Center. Instructors here are top notch and care about the quality of their kung fu classes.

★★★★★ — Julie, Apr 2018

I am a student at the CKFC, though I've not been there for an extremely long time and can provide a non-biased view. Potential students may be discouraged at first because the head instructor, Jeff, is not a certified "Sifu". To them I say: so what?

Your first tai chi class at Chinese Kung Fu Center

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.

Tai chi is gentle and low-impact, but it's still exercise, and the health notes here are general information, not medical advice. If you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them to the instructor before class, and check with your doctor before starting a new exercise program.
