Meet Our Founder
Mohd Izuan Bin Md Isa (Izuan Isa), warmly known as Cikgu Wan, is a lifelong learner, cultural practitioner, traditional healer, and independent researcher whose work bridges modern industry, martial arts, traditional wisdom, and metaphysical studies. Over more than two decades, he has cultivated a multidisciplinary career that integrates leadership, education, wellness, and the preservation of cultural heritage. He is the Founder of Warisan Academy Centre (WAC), an institution dedicated to reviving indigenous Malay knowledge, traditional healing practices, and metaphysical exploration.
Cikgu Wan’s formal education includes a Master Executive in Business Administration (KTAC), complemented by multiple professional diplomas in Health Studies, Business Administration, Maritime Logistics, and Logistics & Transportation.

During his student years at Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) Kedah, Cikgu Wan was actively engaged in the arts and cultural scene. He served as Head of the Theatre Bureau (2002), Secretary of UiTM Kedah Athletic Club (UKAC) and President of the Cultural and Arts Council (2003), reflecting an early commitment to sport, creative expression, cultural preservation, and the promotion of Malay artistic heritage.

These leadership positions illustrate his long-standing dedication to fostering community engagement and continuity within Malaysia’s martial arts and cultural ecosystem.
Cikgu Wan’s martial arts background is extensive. He trained in Kuntau under the late Arshad (Md Isa), Tomoi & Silat Seni Gayong under the late Cikgu Syukor Mat Yasin, Silat Harimau Putih under Cikgu Taridi Abdullah, and Muay Thai Singa Malaya under Kru Ali. He has held coaching and jurulatih roles in Silat Seni Gayong (2001–2004) and Gurulatih in Silat Harimau Putih (2012–present), demonstrating both technical mastery and pedagogical expertise. His contributions include serving as Deputy Head of the Western Division (PSSJPM, 2013–2017) and Deputy Chief of the Dewan Hulubalang (DSSM Selangor, 2020–2023), highlighting his ongoing leadership within the martial arts community.
His training in traditional healing and Malay philosophy is equally distinguished. Rooted in family heritage through his grandparents, mother and father, Cikgu Wan received mentorship from a lineage of respected healers and masters, including the late Cikgu Syukor Mat Yasin, Cikgu Rahim Helang Putih, Arwah Abah Man Bangi, Toklang Haji Idris Bruas, and the Harimau Putih masters Cikgu Taridi, Guru Kamal, Guru Faisal, and Guru Ahmad Solihin. These experiences shaped his holistic understanding of energy, spiritual practice, and metaphysical knowledge, which he integrates into his work as a healer and educator.
Cikgu Wan’s athletic achievements further underscore his lifelong commitment to physical discipline and performance. As a student, he excelled in track and field (100m, 200m, 4x100m) and football, representing SMKSAT and later UiTM Kedah (UKAC). He competed in SUKDA 2000, Silat Olahraga, Tomoi and Muay Thai tournaments, and events such as Pusaka Ultimate Fight (2017), demonstrating versatility and competitive spirit across multiple sports disciplines.
Entrepreneurially, Cikgu Wan established Warisan Gerak Alif Resources (2013–2023), a platform for therapy and traditional healing, which later evolved into Warisan Academy Centre (WAC, 2013–Present). Through WAC, he leads initiatives in cultural preservation, traditional therapy, martial arts education, and metaphysical research, fostering a global appreciation for indigenous wisdom and Malay heritage.
As an author and independent researcher, Cikgu Wan’s notable works include “The Unseen Nexus: A Comparative Study of Spiritual Entities in Global Cosmologies” and “Metaphysics Comprehensive”.

Zahrin Shariff Nordin
Alternative Healer & Certified Silat Coach
Zahrin Shariff Nordin is a respected alternative healer, energy practitioner, and certified Silat coach whose work reflects the integration of physical discipline, spiritual awareness, and holistic healing.
With more than seven years of experience in the field of energy and spiritual therapy, Zahrin has developed a distinctive approach that unites traditional healing wisdom with contemporary understanding. His practice is guided by the belief that every human being carries both visible and invisible dimensions — where energy, intention, and divine connection coexist as the essence of balance and well-being.
Zahrin’s philosophy rests on a simple yet profound truth: every being carries light, every soul radiates energy, and every wound awaits healing through sincere intention. His sessions embody this principle through the combination of prayer, remembrance, and focused energy work. Each encounter is conducted with calmness, discretion, and compassion, allowing individuals to experience healing not only in body, but also in heart and spirit.
Beyond his healing work, Zahrin is an accredited Silat coach, holding an SPKK Level 1 Coaching Certificate from PESAKA Malaysia, the national Silat federation. His teaching extends beyond martial technique — he views Silat as a spiritual discipline that cultivates inner strength, humility, and self-awareness. Through movement and mindfulness, he guides his students to discover harmony between power and peace, discipline and compassion.
Zahrin’s holistic approach bridges energy work and martial discipline as two complementary paths toward self-mastery. Through his guidance, many have learned to interpret pain as a lesson, adversity as transformation, and stillness as strength. His dedication to both healing and Silat reflects a lifelong commitment to nurturing balance — between the physical and the spiritual, the visible and the unseen.
For Zahrin, the essence of his journey is captured in his personal reflection:
“Light does not seek shadows — it exists to remove them.
Such is the nature of energy born from a sincere heart.”
