“Derek Shaw has been an amazing mentor and friend to me for almost 7 years now. I met him at the State Fair in 2021 and started taking classes from him a few months later. After learning from him, my confidence grew, my skill grew, but more importantly my understanding of what it means to be a martial artist grew. Derek trained me for several years as a direct disciple and often forewent payment from me due to being in college, but he didn’t complain once. I am now the first black belt that he has trained and I opened my own branch of his school in Weatherford, OK. I am a proud disciple of Shaw Wuxing Tao Kungfu and a proud friend of Sifu Derek Shaw. I highly recommend his teachings to anyone interested in a teacher that genuinely cares about them.”
