Sifu Derek Johnson also known as (Cheung Tai Lik Sifu) started learning Kung Fu from his late
Master Dean Chin (Chun Yuk Juen) in Washington DC Chinatown. Derek's primary instructor in Dean Chin's school
Sifu Deric Mims center
was Sifu Deric Mims, who was one of the senior instructors in the school. Master Chin passed away in 1985. Master Kong's own Sifu was Grand Master Hung Tai Wai, who graciously accepted Derek into their family.

Derek Johnson's Grand Master or Si Gung is Chan Man Cheungof Hong Kung. So that Cheung Tak Lik could continue learning Jow Ga Kung Fu, Chan Man Cheung introduced him to his next teacher Master Kong Yu Choi of the Jow Biu Chinese Boxing Association Hong Kong. Master Kong Yu Choi did not freely accept students at this time, but fortunately accepted Derek Johnson as his pupil and instructed him for many years while refusing to accept any fee for his teachings.
Derek is the Director of Jow Ga Kung Fu Athletic Association, which has one branch in the United States and another in Krakow Poland. Read more here...
