Master Kam Lee whose ancestors were from Yonchun, Fukien China, was born in 1958 in Batu Pahat, Johor, Malaysia where his grandparents settled as immigrants in the late 1800s/early 1900s. Living in a city where traditional Chinese secret societies and street gang brawls were common, Kam Lee’s parents were careful that he was disciplined in the ethical ways before he was allowed to study martial arts. As a result, he only started training in Kung Fu in 1973 at the age of 15. He studied the art of Tiong Wah Wuzuquan (Five Ancestors Fist Kung Fu) or "Ngor Chor" as pronounced in his Southern Chinese Dialect, under Grandmaster Yau Chew Lai, a disciple of Grandmaster Gan Hu-Chang.

Kam Lee trained diligently practicing not only self-defense but learning how to defend himself against the hassles of life. His hard work, dedication to his practice and good moral character was evident when Kam was initiated as a 4th generation Tiong Wah Wuzuquan disciple in 1975 under the late Grandmaster Gan Hu Chang. During that time, Kam performed in many national and local demonstrations and festivities for his school. In 1997, after performing in the bi-annual anniversary of his teacher’s death in Singapore, Sifu Lee was conferred the title of "Master" equivalent to a 5th. Degree level, by the son of his teacher, Mr. Kan Ching-Heng of Tiong Wah Pugilistic and Lion Dance Association, Singapore.

Kam immigrated to the United States in 1981. Having practiced Yang style Taiji for several years, he started training Chen style Taijiquan in 1995. In 1999, Master Lee was fortunate to begin training in Chenjiagou Taijiquan under the direct tutelage of Grandmaster Zhu Tian Cai, one of the four great diamonds of Chen Style Taijiquan. During the years of training, he was accepted as a disciple by his teacher and became an official Chen Style Taijiquan 20th generation disciple under the lineage of Grandmaster Zhu. Kam also has the privilege to study push-hands and qinna with Grandmaster Chen Xiao-Wang and Chen Zheng-Lei who are also his teacher’s Taiji brothers. He also had the opportunity to train with Master Zhang Xue-Xin and Master Yang Yang who are students of Grandmaster Feng Zhi-Qiang of Hun Yuan Xing-Yi Chen-Shi Taijiquan on a few occasions. In 2005, after serving in various seminars as translater for his teacher and for his knowledge and dedication in promoting and teaching Chen family Taijiquan, he was conferred the rank of "Taiji Da Shi San Ji" (Taiji Master 3rd level) equivalent to a 7th degree, by his Shifu Grandmaster Zhu Tiancai.

Some who have observed his performances described his Taiji as inspiring and beautiful with harmony and relaxation, fluidity, feathery-lightness, and POWER reflecting his personality…relaxed and playful.
