Borrowed from Chinese taijiquan, literally 'supreme ultimate fist', the Spanish word refers chiefly to the health-oriented practice derived from that martial tradition.

Usage tips

  • In everyday Spanish, taichi is commonly offered as a low-impact class for older adults, so class descriptions often highlight relaxation and joint mobility.
