In the United States, people do not have to be health
professionals
or to be licensed to practice or teach tai chi. The practice is not
regulated by state or Federal governments. There is no standard
training for tai chi teachers.
If you are considering learning tai chi, ask about the
teacher's
training and experience (see also NCCAM's publication "Selecting a CAM Practitioner").
Learning tai chi from a teacher, compared with learning it from videos
or books, allows a student to find out whether he is performing the
movements correctly and safely.
