The Traditional Ng Ga Kuen Association
The Traditional Ng Ga Kuen Association (“The Association”) is a members‑only governing body established to preserve, protect, and guide the authentic transmission of the Ng Ga Kuen (Five‑Family Fist) system. Its purpose is to ensure that all affiliated schools and instructors uphold the traditional curriculum, etiquette, philosophy, and training standards passed down through the lineage of Grand Master Ark Yuey Wong and continued by Sifu Seming Ma.
⭐ Leadership & Governance
The Association is overseen by Grand Master Seming Ma, who maintains final authority over all rules, regulations, and policies. A formal committee supports this work by:
- Establishing and revising Association policies
- Maintaining system standards
- Ensuring consistency across affiliated schools
- Approving additions or modifications to curriculum guidelines
All changes require approval from Grand Master Seming Ma to ensure alignment with traditional Ng Ga Kuen principles.
⭐ Certification & Records
The Association is responsible for issuing official certifications to:
- Schools
- Instructors
- High‑ranking students
These certifications confirm that recipients meet the standards of the traditional Ng Ga Kuen curriculum. The Association maintains a complete record of all certifications issued, preserving the integrity and lineage of the system.
Certified schools and instructors are listed on the School Locations page.
