Appears in the southern styles a lot too....
In the middle, how do you think this move is applied? The opponent is to one side, not in front. In the large frame the hand is above the head, in the small frame the hand touches the head.
Not even the same thing. Your guy is elbows out, palms up. The guy I posted is protecting his face. Your guy's face is unprotected.
The guy you posted is doing something that looks like the intro part to gung gee fook fu kuen.
It's not a valid response to take an ambiguous drawing from a TCMA text that looks similar to a MMA technique and say it's the same thing.
