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
My kids have been going here for 1.5 years (Hung gar) and myself (Hung gar + Tai Chi) for about a year. I can’t say enough good things about SIFU. He’s a master in his craft. He’s very good with kids and patient. Classes start with warm ups and stretching for 15-20 min.
Sifu is a True Gem!! He not only cares about his Mastery Skillz in Martial Arts, but he GENUINELY CARES about People & Loves Children!! He also gives back to the community!! Sifu is also very personable.
I love it here ! I was a student from kindergarten to about 12 years old and I just came back at 23. Still feels like family, still a bunch of fun and sifu and his other teachers are friendly and motivating.
As a student of multiple disciplines and martial arts schools, I can attest that Sifu Gino and the Shaolin Kung Fu Institute stand alone as a premier martial arts experience.
Your first tai chi class at Shaolin Kung Fu Institute
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.
