As far as laid back, I've found most Chinese schools are a bit more laid back than other types of schools. This is generaly because the schools are smaller and more family orientated. I mean you actually call senioir students "big brother"  Of course, as with anything, ther are exceptions to this. Laid back also does not mean you don't train your butt off. If you aren't being pushed and challenged, someone isn't doing thier job and you aren't getting the full benefit from the money you are spending.
47MM, yes I have heard of and seen demonstrations of splashing hands. Its not my cup of tea. | Nice post. But in the smaller, family orientated, traditional schools, there are no sashes indicating rank.
Splashing hands - ever tried it?
