Use the complex-bilinear extension of the Nijenhuis tensor expression to complex vector fields. If $U,V\in T^{1,0}X$, then $JU=iU$ and $JV=iV$, soFor $U,V\in T^{0,1}X$, the same substitution with $-i$ gives $N(U,V)=-8[U,V{]}^{1,0}$. For inputs of opposite types, the two leading Lie brackets cancel, as do the two terms involving $J$, so $N(U,V)=0$. Applying the type decomposition of the complexified tangent bundle to both inputs consequently givesThus $N=0$ precisely when the Lie bracket of any two sections of either eigenbundle remains in that same eigenbundle. In other words, $N=0$ if and only if both tangent-type distributions are involutive distributions. This proves the equivalence directly and does not assume that an arbitrary almost complex structure already has holomorphic coordinates.
