About this user

Master Seng's training began at age six with gymnastics and the native Cambodian martial art of Yuthakun Kham. This art includes many types of strikes, evasions, bone locks, chokes, muscle tears, pressure points, throws, and weapon techniques. Most observers often compare this style to modern day mixed martial arts. However, it is the earliest form of a complete fighting system in Cambodia dating back as early as the 6th century AD. While growing up, his father, who is also a healer, taught him acupressure, massage techniques, herbal medicine and meditation. As a teenager, he entered the Buddhist Temple and became a monk. After a few years, Master Seng left the temple for secular life. Master Seng's Hapkido training began with Master San Kim Sean. During the Khmer Rouge Communist occupation, Seng was taken from his family and put into a forced labor camp. During 1979 he escaped to neighboring Thailand where he taught gymnastics and Hapkido. He became "Muay Thai Champion" in 1982 and 1984 with a professional record of 18 wins and 1 loss. Relocating to a refugee camp in the Philippines, Master Seng was sponsored by the US Embassy in Manila to participate in the 1988 "Competition of Asian Martial Arts" and won the Self Defense Championship.

Hapkido During 1992 Master Seng was named "Instructor of the Year" by the World Hapkido Federation and relocated to North Attleboro Mass., where he instructed local residents and many police officers from surrounding communities. During 1993, 1995, and 2003 Master Seng was invited by the Khmer Hapkido Federation to return to Cambodia and teach the National Police Force Hapkido restraint and control techniques. Master Seng has also hosted many seminars throughout the United States and has been promoted to the rank of Ninth Degree Black Belt by the Khmer Hapkido Federation.

In the winter of 2007 Master Seng and a few students were invited to return to Cambodia to demonstrate techniques, dontate equipment and study Yuthakun Kham as well as Hapkido and Boxkator, the father of Muay Thai. During the visit Master Seng was promoted to Chairman of the Board of Directors by the Khmer Hapkido Federation, an honor very few are likely to recieve. Master Seng is recognized throughout the wolrd for his profound knowledge and superior techniques in the Hapkido martial art as well as the other disciplines of Muay Thai and Yuthakun Kham.
