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).

From the reviews
I have been with Sifu Chung over 35 years. He teaches true authentic Traditional Tai Chi, Chi Kung, Taoist Meditation, and many traditional internal martial arts such as Wing Chun, Pa Kua, Hsing-I, and many other systems from the highest level Masters , both here and in China.
This incredible place is full of healing and a deep ancient practice that cannot be found anywhere else. Sifu is a truly authentic teacher that you are lucky to find in a place like Florida, as the Kung fu and Tai Chi that he is teaching is truly Chinese. Sifu is such a special teacher.
My name is Josette and I’ve been a Tai Chi student with Sifu for the past three years. I moved here from Pennsylvania where I studied the martial arts for almost 30 years and earned my Third Level Black. Belt in Tae Kwon Do.
Very kind and honest school. Chungs Kung fu is a real treasure. Sifu Chung is a great sifu and instructor. I have been training Kung fu for 10 years now and I have only met one other sifu who can even come close in comparison. Tai Chi Meditation and Kung Fu the perfect trio for self development.
New to tai chi? Start at Chung's Kung Fu and Tai Chi Academy
Chung's Kung Fu and Tai Chi Academy 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 Chung's Kung Fu and Tai Chi Academy
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.
