The school was an instant success with many men, women, and children studying the art made famous by Jow Lung and his brothers. With student enrollment at an all time high and space in the school becoming increasingly crowded, Dean Chin decided to relocate the school to a larger space in order to better train the next generation of Jow Ga practitioners. In 1971, the school relocated and was officially named the “U.S. Jow Ga Kung Fu Association Headquarters.” From this location came some of the finest kung fu stylists on the East Coast: Deric Mims, Paul Adkins, Robert Woods, Hon Lee, Raymond Wong, and many others. These kung fu stylists brought great fame and success to Dean Chin and the Jow Ga system. In 1976, the Oval Office of the White House asked Dean Chin and the U.S. Jow Ga Kung Fu Association to perform for then President Jimmy Carter. This marked an important milestone, as Dean Chin’s school was the second martial arts troop to perform at the White House. (Historically, the Beijing Wu Shu team which featured the young Jet Li was the first martial arts troop to perform for then President Richard Nixon.)
