Mike from Michigan requested the Chinese characters for “T’ai Chi Ch’uan,” which is the old school way to spell the characters below (using the Wade-Giles romanization system)…  it’s similar to how “Peking” is the old school way to spell “Beijing” (where “Beijing” is the more contemporary and accurate spelling using Hanyu Pinyin).

…  where essentially the first character can mean “extreme,” the second character can mean “utmost,” and the third character means “fist.”  The first two characters together insinuates “no boundaries” or “no limits”…  so loosely, all three characters translate as “boundless fist”…  booyah!

Want to see these characters embroidered on a women’s or unisex t-shirt?  Or on a women’s or unisex tank top?  Click the appropriate preceding link.  Got a translation request of your own?  Contact me!
