Dean Chin with his students at a send off party before competing in Taiwan 1979.

In 1979, Dean Chin and his students were given the honor of competing in the World Kuoshu Championships held in Taipei, Taiwan. Dean Chin’s students received awards in the individual categories of Forms, Weapons, and Full Contact Fighting. This victory was honored by the Mayor of Washington, D.C. and was featured in the Washington Post. In August 1985, the founder of Jow Ga kung fu in America, Dean Chin, suddenly passed away, leaving many to ponder the fate of his school. From 1971 until 1985, no one person did more to promote and pass on the teachings of the Jow Ga 5 Tigers than Dean Chin. Although his untimely passing was a great blow to the system, many of his American students continued to spread the art of Jow Ga kung fu as well as the legacy of Dean Chin.
