Well to be fair... it is recognizably Fu Hok Seung Ying. In fact, it is exactly as advertised I would think... Fu Hok with a very Karate flavour. I would love to hear an exposition on application and theory of the movements coming from the Karate side.
If you can't hit hard, hit them where they're soft.

@ Asmo, Right?!?!!?
Thought it was kind of cool this guy Kenpoed the set out. I wonder where he learned it from.

It's obvious the guy trains hard. He moves very well, fast & sharp. I dont know whether this is karate though, maybe more Kempo?
Like IP I like to know what his application or meaning is behind some of the moves as they are (IMO) done quite differently from the way I understand them.
To use a Star Trek phrase, Its Fu Hok Jim, but not as we know it!
Hope I phrased it well this way Yogicmotion?

A brief search on that wonderful 'Google' came up with this:
http://www.tracyskarate.com/History/his ... kenpo_.htm
I didn't read or cross reference this page. Like I said, it was just a very casual search, but maybe it'll do for an explanation of where things came from.
*edit* A couple other websites also say that James Wing Woo was the one that introduced many of the Chinese forms into the Kenpo Karate system, including the Tiger Crane set. Not sure how it was originally introduced, or whether it was introduced in a Hung Gar format but, after his time, was 'karatified' to become what it is now shown in the clip.
