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
Andy is a wonderful Tai Chi instructor. Andy was a student of Kim Kanzelberger, who was a student of Benjamin Pang Jeng Lo, "Ben Lo." Ben Lo, in turn, was a student of Cheng Man-Ch'ing, the creator of the 37-movement style of Tai Chi. Andy's dept of knowledge of Tai Chi is amazing.
I started with Tai Chi KC in fall 2025. I've taken the First Section and am really excited to continue learning. I will also note that I feel comfortable and welcome as an LGBTQ+ student. Andy teaches Yang style short form Tai Chi, which is a defined series of movements.
I am a new student with Andy and have absolutely enjoyed every class. His teaching style is very supportive and it is so easy to learn from him. I cant wait for the second class to learn the rest of the short form.
We took classes almost 20 years ago from Andy’s teacher. We tried other tai chi classes over the years, but they were not as focused on teaching the movements of the form. When we started with Andy, we knew we were in the right place with the right teacher. Andy is serious about his teaching but never harsh.
New to tai chi? Start at Tai Chi KC
Tai Chi KC 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 Tai Chi KC
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.
