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
Working with Coach Raef has been a deeply grounding and inspiring experience. His teaching carries a rare balance of strength and grace. Every approachable session feels powerful, inclusive, and deeply calming.
Qi Gong and Tai Chi classes with Raef Khalsa have been transformational for me, to say the least. Being in the healing arts myself and having had experience with a number of different modalities, I feel very in tune with the principles taught in his classes.
Since attending classes my overall fitness has improved greatly, through kick boxing and Tai Chi. Raef, is a wonderful patient and creative instructor. I look forward to the classes! Maggie - work in progress.
It was great experience!!! I'll recommend to everyone who has stress out or just relax!! Thank you!
Your first tai chi class at Shaolin Training Center
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.
