5 ★★★★★ 10 Google reviews · Tai chi studio in Naperville, Illinois
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
Panda Kung Fu and Tai Chi is AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME! My 6 year son absolutely loves his Instructor Qi. He is so patient with him. He shows that he really cares and wants him to succeed. He teaches my son Kung Fu and life skills. My son is excited to be there every class.
Qi has been my Tai chi instructor for over 3 years. He is excellent and patient and I have been progressing in Tai chi greatly. I am in the process of learning Tai chi with sword and its really amazing. His new studio is very nice and spacious and very convenient to get to.
I highly recommend Panda Kung Fu, and Tai Chi. Master Qi has greatly focused on reaching, and achieving my ongoing goals. He has helped me attain great energies, and he has had an immense impact on me as a student of Kung Fu.
Qi is an excellent instructor. I took kung fu and kickboxing lessons for the past three years and I really like the new studio. It's large and clean with big mirrors. I very much enjoy the lessons and it keeps me healthy and active.
New to tai chi? Start at Panda Kung Fu & Tai Chi
Panda Kung Fu & Tai Chi 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 Panda Kung Fu & 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.
