In traditional Chinese martial arts there are both "outdoor" and "indoor" teaching methods. Outdoor teaching usually refers to content that a master will teach in his public classes. Indoor or advanced teaching refers to private instruction directly from the master, which includes the entire system inclusive of all the subtleties and nuances of the form. On Volumes 34 and 35 Master George Xu of Shanghai teaches the advanced version, which is sometimes called the family form, first form of Chen style taijiquan.
