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.

Shihan Eric at Suncoast Martial Arts, hands down wealth of knowledge wonderful energy, and very well centered.

I teach kickboxing classes in St. Petersburg and Suncoast Martial Arts has been a paramount structure in my training, dedication, and endurance. I love the energy, structure, and dedication here.The Tai Chi classes on the Saturday are a great way to end a busy week. Thank you for everything you do, Suncoast!
Suncoast Martial Arts is simply a great place. While a humble abode, this place has love, learning, and culture in spades. Shihan Eric is incredible with the kids and is a very patient and effective teacher. Everyone else who works here is also super friendly.
Your first tai chi class at Suncoast Martial Arts
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.
