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
I have been studying at this martial arts academy for 5 months now and I am constantly amazed with the friendly and professional environment that Mr. L. creates everyday in this school. Students are challenged according to their abilities. Mr. L shows a personal interest in the development of each of his students.
We have had many years of wonderful experiences at Rothrock's Kung Fu Academy. The instructors are knowledgeable and helpful. The kids' classes are energetic and fun. Our son started attending classes here before kindergarten. The core lessons have taught him to remain focused and on task during school.
My daughter has been learning Kung Fu at Rothrock's in West Mifflin for 3 years now. She has given up on other sports like soccer and gymnastics, but she LOVES her Kung Fu classes. The teachers are very disciplined, but supportive and friendly. They make class fun.
In one word wonderful! Mr. L is great to work with. I am very comfortable with all of the friendly people. I took tai chi to help me relax and it is working after only a few weeks. Down the road I plan on taking kung fu. Mr. R.
New to tai chi? Start at Rothrock's Kung Fu & Tai Chi West Mifflin
Rothrock's Kung Fu & Tai Chi West Mifflin 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 Rothrock's Kung Fu & Tai Chi West Mifflin
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.
