About Us

Jow Ga Kuen Martial Arts Association is Melbourne's first traditional Jow Ga Kung Fu school. It was established by Sifu Tseng Gong Seng in 1987, under the name Melbourne Yun Yee Tong Martial Arts Association.

On May 2013, Jow Ga Kuen Martial Arts Association relaunched after twenty years of inactivity by Sifu Tseng Gong Seng and his loyal disciples. The Association is still the first and only Kung Fu school in Melbourne teaching traditional Jow Ga Kung Fu. We hope to preserve and spread the art of Kung Fu throughout Australia.
