The left illustration shows a poor stance the rear foot should be at 45 deg.

 

While striking the rear leg should be straight not bent. Other than that it looks like a reverse punch.

 

Also, should be sinking down a little lower in the stance to generate more power.

Pain is only temporary, the memory of that pain lasts a lifetime.

The first stance, on the left, could also be a high kokutsu dachi. Not all Japanese/Okinawan styles do really deep stances.

 

I think the purpose behind the illustration is to show the body mechanics of breaking utilizing hips and shoulders not just arm power not to illustrate proper stances.

I like the reverse punch and the wing chun punch.

 

If i am doing parry/strike i will use reverse punch when i'm parrying inside and trapping the opponent, i use wing chun punch when i'm parrying outside and slapping opponent away. It seems to work well this way when at the same time you are leaning left/right from opponent strike.
