Ive only been to a couple sessions, decided it was too far & awkward to get to for me to be able to train regularly.
It was at this place: http://www.midlandswingchun.com/
The training/sparring was aggressive and fast even though I was just joining in for a taster. The "sifu" would test one of the students every so often, hitting them fairly hard and fast. One of the specific things that was emphasised in the tuition of techniques was jus how exactly they would counter strong boxing type blows. I saw a training session of some of the more experienced students too, and they where pretty much going all out in in terms of speed & strength. Including kicking.
An escrima/arnis tutor also shares the same facility, him and some of his students also fight against the whing chun students. With weapons too. It all looked pretty awesome to me.
