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
What can I expect? What is it that you guys are doing here? What's with all that screaming? These are questions prospect students always ask when they come into the school to check us out. You can expect to either love or hate our Tai Chi Chuan, there is no middle ground. You will spend 3-6 months learning the form.
I studied Tai Chi Chuan in my 20's under different instructors, and while I learned the forms and did push hand training, I felt something was missing. I'm so happy that I kept searching until I found Sifu Gim, and the search is over.
In 2012 I decided to learn Martil Arts. What attracted me to Classical Yang Tai Chi Chuan is the famous 'internal power'. I reviewed many websites and watched youtube videos searching for someone who knew how teach it. As I read through Sifu Gim's website I instantly knew that that's who I wanted to learn from.
If you want a martial art form that you could continue well into the old age and without the blood and bruise of the most kungfu styles, H Won Tai Chi is for you.
Your first tai chi class at H. Won Tai Chi Chuan Association
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.
