I hear a style called Kun Tao, is suposed to be very aggresive. I think its a mix of Chinese Martial Arts with Indonesian Silat, as practiced in Indonesia, though I think these schools are quite rare.
Kuntao is found in whole south east asia. It consists of a familly of mas practiced mostly by oversea chinese, it refers to hybrid silat-cmas and cmas evolved outside China. Often very brutal (Chinese made lots of ennemies in SEA and had to know how to defend themselves in order to survive: ethnic riots, death challenges..). I don't know of any really good school outside south east asia.

Is there any other styles that are more underground but aggressive?
I've trained in Muay Thai for five years a.o. in Thailand, it is agood system , but I find some styles of silat and kuntao more agressive. Most vicious and painfull low kicks I've seen come from pukulan type silat. If you are not crippled the pain can last for days...
Burmese Bando is also nice, it has some nasty groundfighting called naban but may be hard to find in your area....
