If the concept of tai chi is mostly new to you and you’re unaware of local places that teach it, do your homework. Roberts recommends borrowing tai chi DVDs or books from the library and checking with local community centers about classes. She also suggests visiting www.taichiproduction.com for information and to search for local classes with trustworthy instructors. Finding an experienced teacher is important. “The instructor does matter,” stresses Kim. “There are a lot of instructors out there who have only taken a few weekend seminars and don’t really have the techniques mastered themselves.”
