JBJ Dojo Karate & Tai Chi
4.4 ★★★★☆ 7 Google reviews · Tai chi studio in Evergreen, Montana
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
This is a great Kenpo karate school which incorporates elements of Tai Chi and Aiki-jitsu. It's east coast lineage makes It's terminology different than west coast based Ed Parker Kenpo schools I've attended but the principles are the same.
I had no idea a year and a half ago when we were looking for a place for our son to begin karate where to look and so after researching and looking around we ultimately chose JBJ Dojo and there just aren't enough words to describe this place ! Sensei Murray and Sensei Melinda are absolutely amazing individuals !
Your first tai chi class at JBJ Dojo Karate & Tai Chi
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.
