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.

What students say
“My son has had an excellent few months getting into martial arts at Ito's White Tiger, whose instructors and owners are caring, friendly, thoughtful people.”
From the reviews
My son has been a student with Ito’s White Tiger for a few months now and I have seen a lot of great things happen in those months. He hadn’t taken many classes prior to his first one at Ito’s so he walked in a blank slate.
A great way to get in shape and stay in shape while learning self defense. Instructor staff is able to adjust to the capabilities of each individual student to help them progress and get the most out of their time at the school. The school has biannual potlucks for its students and becomes like a family
Our almost 16 year-old enrolled in Ito's at age eleven and it has been such a formative experience. The instructors are dedicated and skilled professionals who really care about each student. Self-discipline, patience, diligence, teamwork, individual growth, and responsibility are taught and modeled.
My son has had an excellent few months getting into martial arts at Ito's White Tiger, whose instructors and owners are caring, friendly, thoughtful people. There is a reverence for the art, so it's more than just karate skills here. Businesses like this are valuable to the whole community.
Your first tai chi class at ITO'S WHITE TIGER KEMPO KARATE TAI CHI CHUAN
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.
