Taijiquan more commonly known as Tai Chi is a traditional Chinese martial art that has gained popularity worldwide for its health benefits With slow graceful movements Tai Chi practice promotes relaxation balance and flexibility However there is often confusion on how to pronounce the name of this ancient art form

The correct way to pronounce Taijiquan according to the pinyin system of Romanization used in Mandarin Chinese is “tie-jee-chwan” This pronunciation may be difficult for non-native Chinese speakers at first especially the “ch” sound which is pronounced with a puff of air in the back of the throat However with practice it becomes easier to master

The name Taijiquan can be broken down into three parts “Taiji” is the name of the philosophy behind the martial art meaning “the supreme ultimate” “Quan” means fist or boxing and is used in the name of many Chinese martial arts Therefore Taijiquan can be translated as “the supreme ultimate fist” The slow gentle movements of Taijiquan are based on the principles of Yin and Yang representing the balance and flow of energy in the body and the universe
