Fu Ying Kuen could be the Fook Fu portion of the set Gung Gi Fook Fu Kuen.

Fu Ying (tiger shape) is not a standard set and may be an adaptation that is used in your particular kwoon to bring familiarity to the early entrant player of the style.

Alternately, this could be part of the Ha Say Fu Hung Gar which has the Tiger shape set, Leopard, Crane, Snake and Dragon all organized as individual sets.

So, the first part would be to state what lineage is this coming from, what school and then from there it would be a little easier to identify.

All I know is it's Hung Chuan, I guess that could be any style in that system.

Also I have seen this form before in some old shawbrother films. I think my teacher was saying it is older then the tiger crane form before the two where put together, but i could be wrong about that, cause he was speaking in chinese and my listening skill are pretty bad.

you're relying on a movie for information?

Not. When compared with LSW Hung Gar.
This looks like more old school Hung Gar.

Doesn't even look like Ha Say Fu, but does break the sets into the individual Sil Lum 5 animals.

Nicely played though. I watched a couple of the other ones. this flavour of Hung Kuen is good! I like it.

There's a lot of clips on the channel. Very varied.

wing lam teaches a style called ha say fu.
it's shaolin 5 animals with each animal having it's own set and also there are weapons sets.

This style resembles that old style of hung gar.

this is one of wing lams students who now does the ha say fu.
Look at the open and the tightness of the coiling hands.

fairly similar. not exactly the same, but on a hunch, i'd say these are related somewhere. I mean outside of the obvious shaolin/southern styles connection.

Hung Hei-Guen's name wasn't Hung, it was Jyu, and he took the surname Hung aout of loyalty to the Ming. Hung Mo-Jue was the first Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, whose line was ended by the Ching invasion. Hung-Ga is so named for patriotism to the Ming, otherwise it would simply be called, Siu-Lum.
