Why do I see different spellings for taijiquan?

You may see different spellings for Taijiquan and other chinese words due to the various spelling standards.

While I am using the Pinyin spelling here at Internal Boxer�, another common method is called Wade-Giles.

Here are Pinyin and Wade-Giles spellings for some common internal martial arts.

Spelling Method
Pinyin Wade-Giles
Taijiquan  Tai Chi Chuan 
Baguazhang  Pa Kua Chang 
Xingyiquan  Hsing I Chuan 

For more information check out what the Library of Congress has to say on the matter.
