Anybody Know the Name / Application for this Posture?

[Humble Disciple]

I was wondering if anyone could tell me what the name and application for this posture is? It is my understanding that the man in the photo is Zhang Shun Rong and he primarily practices Chen Shi Tai Chi. He is a disciple of Chen ZhengLei. I have not heard of these two names but I offer it as additional information in the hopes that it helps. He has also studied Ba Gua, Xing Yi and other arts. This posture is similar to a movement in Hung Gar that I have had trouble deciphering the application for so I was hoping someone here could help me out. Thanks.

it is tough to answer.

usually there are several moves in a posture.

so the question would be that the picture is depicting the beginng, the in between moves or end move/posture?

without the info.

then it is anyone's guess, or it could be many possible answers.

:confused:

yeah, it is really really hard to say from a "moment in time" type of photo. it, being described in xingyi terms, looks like an inward-turned version of one of the horse forms. and could even look like a sweeping "block" in the rooster form.

as mentioned, could be some transition, and could be many things.

It coud be Pi Shen/shan Gua before chui

covering your body with clothes gua and then hitting fist.

you twirning your forearm around your elbow in turn one after another(left right left--forearm) to cover your front and then you hit the opponent's abdomen/chest or groin

you also rotate your waist

as if you are wearing or covering yourself with a piece of cloth.

It may be followed by back bending kao or bei zhe kao 背折靠

and then green dragon coming out of the water or qing long chu shui 青龙出水.
