Ma's first major international debut was at the 2004 Asian Wushu Championships where she won the gold medal in qiangshu.[2] She then competed in the 2005 World Wushu Championships in Hanoi, Vietnam where she became the world champion in the same event.[3][4] A year later, she competed in the 2006 Asian Games in Doha, Qatar, and won the gold medal in the women's changquan all-around event.[5][6] Almost a year later, she competed in the 2007 World Wushu Championships in Beijing and won once again in qiangshu.[7][8] This qualified Ma for the 2008 Beijing Wushu Tournament where she won in the women's jianshu and qiangshu combined event.[9][10] Her last major international competition was at the 2009 World Games in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, where she won in the same event.[11] Shortly after, she won the gold medal by 0.01 points in women's jianshu and qiangshu at the 2009 National Games of China in Shandong, thus achieving the "grand slam" of wushu.[12][13]
