Yes.
Bought a VHS in San Jose - 'Jerry Cook - Fukien White Crane'
What I got was an awful version of Hung Gar's Tiger & crane set, devoid of any of the Hung Ga 'flavor.' i.e. body methods and power.
If this is representative of what he teaches, it is best to be avoided.
Decide for yourself.

I met him in Phoenix a few years ago when I was with some members of the Beijing Wushu Team. His lineage wasn't that deep and many of his Hung Gar logos were some American name..like Smith Family Style Hung Gar or something. He's kind of close to Li Jingheng, so he likely has some contemporary training.
Skill wise he's not bad and is definitely a forms collector and freely admits it.
I have about a 6 hour video he gave me and his teaching methods aren't half bad.
I'm still a bit undecided about him, but then again I am big on lineage.
My brother (of the same mother) trained under him in AZ---I've seen my brother perform "forms" that looked pretty good-----Looked like alot of Fu Jow
I can see how you think it was Hungar. It is from the Hung family. It's not all powerful low stances, but contains the five elements and the five animals for use in Chinese medicine as the creator Wong Feihung was a traditional chinese medicine doctor. The exercises correlate to a yin and yang organs. If you look at youtube, it will give you the names, the exercises, the organs, and it's a treasure of Chinese kungfu that I wanted to share with my martial art brothers. I think traditional Hungar people may appreciate this variation. I collect 108 technique forms from Shaolin/Wudang styles, and this is one of them.
I'll post the applications and combat methods later.
