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).

From the reviews
I've been training here for almost a year, taking their Tai Chi and Wushu classes. Master Ho is very knowledgeable, and provides lots of great feedback towards perfecting the forms (taolu) we learn. They also teach Sanda (focusing on sparring for points and self defense), and others (see their class schedule online).
My kids have been practicing with them for 4 years. Great school! Top of the tier in America! Master Ho is patient and the best shifu! Jane is motivating! It is the best place to learn the roots of Chinese culture.
If you're searching for Tai Chi classes, your journey ends at Wushu Academy! I joined in June, and after attending three group classes each week and taking four private lessons, I can confidently say this is where I’ll continue my Tai Chi journey.
I have been studying at Phoenix Wushu Academy for half a year and I love it. It has been the best months ever. I have made many friends and I love it here. Everyone is nice and the instructors know how to work with every student. The place is like a second home to me and it is always fun to be there.
New to tai chi? Start at Phoenix Wushu Academy
Phoenix Wushu Academy 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 Phoenix Wushu Academy
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.
