taichí; taichi; tai-chi; tai chi; Tai Chi: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que la voz "taichí", que designa un arte marcial milenario, se escribe en una palabra, sin espacio ni guion, y con minúscula inicial, por lo que no son adecuadas grafías como "tai-chi", "tai chi" o "Tai Chi". [...] También es válida, aunque de uso minoritario, la forma llana y, por tanto, sin tilde: "taichi". Además, este sustantivo se escribe con minúscula inicial, como el resto de prácticas deportivas y de meditación. 2, record 1, Spanish, - taich%C3%AD
