Taichi - With Dao

What is Taichi?

The word “taichi” is used both to refer to the art and to refer to the specific type of martial art in which the art is practiced. Taichi has many different names around the world, including tai chi, taiji, and tai chi chuan. These names often vary based on the country in which the term is used, reflecting the different pronunciations of Chinese characters used in different languages. In Chinese, “tai chi” is written as 太极, which consists of two characters, 太 (tài) and 极 (jí). The first character, 太 (tài), means “great” or “exceedingly”. The second character, 极 (jí), means “extreme” or “most”. Together, the characters suggest that practicing tai chi can help one to achieve greatness. The second character, 极 (jí), also has the connotation of something being “very detailed” or “exceedingly precise”. In this way, the word tai chi can be understood as “exceedingly thorough”.
