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.

The classes they run
From the reviews
My time spent with my grandson who studies at this school 3-4x per week have led me from sitting and watching to joining in with the Tai Chi classes offered. I’ve found that this academy is more about quality than quantity and it shows up in every staff member.
A true master of the martial arts. Real life self defense applications for the young and elderly.
I really liked the tai chi classes I miss it a lot i’m doing it on my own it’s not the same they really help me out a lot they are really nice I appreciate everything they’ve done for me hoping one of these days and go back and take Tai chi again
Does not matter your age, you will be pushed physically, mentally and developed for the better emotionally as well. Learning to defend yourself is an added bonus.
Your first tai chi class at Crayton's Martial Arts School and Self Defense Classes
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.
