Nabakatsu, yeah It's that exact drill in that video.
The reason I asked the question is because I've been getting quite a few bruises from blocking punches, with either a tan sau or a bong sau and I thought would practising a drill like that help condition my arms.
I have tried it once but not at a high intensity.

Well, for one, how are you "blocking" the punches? Many Wing Chun practitioners will, I think rightly say that we do not "block." We try to divert, or redirect an attack - and if we have to take something bluntly, try to absorb it. So if you are thinking of any of these as hard blocks, that's your problem. Remember, we want to be subtle in Wing Chun; there's no need to crash into a guy's arm and knock it away. We want to move it just enough that we can take it off center and slide in.
Mook, we've been doing a Tan sau, Pak sau drill were our partner throws a jab cross and we use just one hand to block using a pak and than tan sau and vise a viser. While were blocking/ diverting, we're pivoting in to our 70/30 stance.
Another way we use a tan sau is to block a hook, while shifting into the our stance.
What are your thoughts on practicing Gak sau on a tree?
At the very highest levels of Wing Chun skill , the opponents force can not only be absorbed and neutralised , the opponents force can be absorbed and then "bounced" right back at them.
I think I see what you're saying mook jong, but Wow how do you remain relaxed in a situation where someone is trying to punch your lights out? Would you say that this kind of relaxation is a high level Wing Chun skill too? What does it take to learn that?
