Yang Style Tai Chi 24 Form is the most popular Tai Chi form practiced around the world. It was created in 1956, simplifying the traditional Yang 108 Long Form, thus facilitating the spread of Tai Chi practice worldwide. The committee that created the 24 Form was led by Li Tianji who was Grandmaster Aiping Cheng's main Tai Chi teacher and one of the 4 Yang Style Tai Chi masters on the committee was Fu Zhongwen who was Grandmaster Cheng's teacher of traditional Yang Style Tai Chi.
