Question asked by nikki walker 195 days ago

Where can i get certified as Tai-Chi instructor?

Tai ChiCertifications

I am looking to become a Tai Chi instructor but I have no idea where to start. Does anybody know about any training I get get in Los Angeles area or online? Is tai chi regulated by any organization here in the US? I'd appreciate any help on this topic.

Hello Nikki,

If you have no defininte Tai Chi experience, I suggest that you do some research on David Dorian-Ross.

I do not believe, as far as I know, that there is really any bona fide Tai Chi Certification in the U.S.

Yes there certainly is a Tai Chi certification.
The Tai Chi Certification from American Tai Chi and Qigong Association independently accredits Tai Chi teachers, schools and practitioners of any style, program, lineage or application. Bear in mind you need to complete over 100 documented hours of formal instruction and it does not automatically qualify you for the ATCQA Certification. The decision will also depend on the credential of the organization(s) from which you received Tai Chi training.

Find more information on the ATCQA site
