Beginning his martial arts training as a young child, Cama soon became a notable student of Peter Urban[1][2] and opened his own first dojo at the age of 18.

Being the sole inheritor of the Fut Sao Wing Chun system through direct lineage teachings made James Cama a unique individual in Chinese Martial Arts circles.

[3] The latter is a disciple of the late Lam Sang, who had brought the Kwong Sai Jook Lum Southern Mantis system to the United States.

After many years of intensive training, Cama became the head instructor at the Hung Ching (Chinese Masons) club in New York, where Lam Sang once taught.

Cama wrote a single book, covering the Buddha Hand Wing Chun system, which was published on August 14, 2014.
