It makes sense to say Taijituan, as opposed to anything else.

Then again, taiji also is pretty cool for shorthand :P

But doesn't "Taijitan" just roll off the tongue?

"I believe every single person is extraordinary. The tragedy is that we
have a society where too many people never get to fulfill that
extraordinary potential. My view – the liberal view – is that
government’s job is to help them to do it. Not to tell people how to
live their lives. But to make their choices possible, to release their
potential, no matter who they are. The way to do that is to take power away from those who hoard it. To challenge vested interests. To break down privilege. To clear out the bottlenecks in our society that block opportunity and block progress. And so give everyone a chance to live the life they want." - Nick Clegg, Leader of the Liberal Democrats and Deputy Prime Minister of the United Kingdom

Exactly.  It's easy to stumble while saying Taijituan; Taijitan (and Taiji) are just more pleasurable.
