The Art in Malaysia

An martial art Master named James Lee Peek Kuan, who has a 10th degree in
Ninjutsu ( Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu), and is an esteemed kung fu practitioner and sifu
in his own right (in the Southern Shaolin Pai and Village style Hung Gar Kuen
systems) helped to save and uncover the Wanderer Arts in Malaysia.
There are several sources which contributed to the composition of the Malaysian
Wanderers. The first part was when Sifu James exchanged some martial art
techniques with a college friend who later on taught him two Wanderers patterns
from the Cantonese part of China.
The second part was when Sifu James wanted to document some of the Chinese
martial arts in Malaysia. He asked a Ninjutsu student of his, Mr Low K.W. who was
taught some patterns by his father before he went on to join other martial art
systems . From the remnants, Sifu James realised that the patterns came from the
Fujian-Hakka lineage before it was brought down by Hakka wandering immigrants
to Malaysia. He expanded and elaborated on the existing forms and used it as a
template to teach his students.
The third part was from another Hakka source from Serdang, a Hakka township
settled by Chinese immigrants. This is actually a type of Chi Kung exercise for both
health and martial purposes. This exercise was developed by Sifu Charles Wong
who was once one of the WTF Tae Kwon Do SEA Games coach in Malaysia. This art

was formerly known as Leprosy Kung Fu and was brought down to Malaysia by
another segment of Hakka immigrants.
Master James Lee has taught his system to only a few students since, one of
whom was a student by the name of Brendan Lanza who is also a Silat Pukulan
Cimande exponent (Guru). Together they put a formal structure to the system for
future students to follow and learn in.
