You CAN spell it "tai kwon do" (no one can stop you), but it would not be an accurate translation of the Korean word 태권도, and it would not represent a correct pronunciation. The Korean hangeul translated as "Taekwondo" is often mispronounced. "Tai" is typically pronounced with a long "i" as in the English word "tie." This is correct for the Chinese Tai Chi (Tie - chee), but would be an incorrect pronunciation for the "tae" of Taekwondo, which sounds like the "a" in "tack."

  • Taekwondo
  • tae kwon do
  • Taekwon-Do
  • taegwondo

are all accepted spellings, but tai kwon do is not correct.
