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 became interested in Tai Chi after learning about research studies indicating that the practice of Tai Chi is more effective at promoting mental acuity that other forms of exercise. David's classes fit my schedule, so I began in February of 2024.
I was a student of David’s for approximately 12 years before leaving the Houston area and remain in contact with him. He continues to be a valuable resource as I continue my Tai Chi/Qigong journey. Tai Chi has remarkable physical and mental benefits.
Sifu David is a great instructor with decades of experience and tremendous patience. I've been a student for 10 years, save a few breaks, and have learned the long form, short form, 8 step, fan and ba fa. I originally began tai chi to help with lower back pain and it did relieve the pain after a while.
I did tai chi with David for approximately 10 years and highly recommend it. It’s outstanding for a great blend between exercise, meditation and qigong. David makes the sessions fun for all, whatever your level. Especially fun is to be had on Tai Chi Day.
Your first tai chi class at Tai Chi 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.
