24 taijiquan performed by Master Wang Yanji and Master Li Tianji created this form.
Maste Li Tianji studied wushu from his father, Li Yulin, as well as from his father's masters, Sun Lutang and Li Jinglin.

This is one of the most helpful videos to study and with which to practice I have seen. My thanks as well for making this available.

Beautiful form and wonderful reference to what skill I strive to be at someday! I usually use different rendition of the same music, and I absolutely love the variation that Master Wang is performing to.

One of the best 24-form demonstrations I've ever seen. Strength, control, grace -- beautiful execution. Excellent video. I will be using this for study and practice. Xiè xiè!
