One of the foundations of the Cheng Ming syllabus, Stand Form has a myriad of physical benefits and increases mental strength and confidence. Here is an audio guide for doing Set 1 of the Stand Form. Hand positions are not described, only body posture.

There are some unauthorised (by the Cheng Ming school) videos by some Israeli people who used to belong to Cheng Ming. I believe this video covers the whole Cheng Ming Tai Chi form, which they refer to as the Chen Pan Ling form. Note that the Israelis do such a soft version of the form that it may look a little lazy or like they are not finishing moves off completely. Please use these only as a reminder of what comes next, not as a guide to technique.
