It's a front stance. I'm not too crazy about the back foot but maybe this is how other stylists do it.

The one that gets the job done ;)

 

Quit thinking so much about "proper" stance, if the "proper" stance is anything but the most effiecent and natural one for what you are doing you're definition of "proper" gas been skewed.

 

Naming them just causes problems, especially when they are named in another language.

Well it's a Gyaku Tsuky performed in Zenkutsu Dachi (the stance is a little weird ... the back leg shouldn't have the knee bent ... it should be straight.)

He is starting in a sparring stance, then moving into zenkutsu datchi with the punch. It is very common in karate.

 

In my style, the foot would be flat on the floor, and the leg would be straighter in the zenkutsu datchi. Also, his wrist angle looks a little extreme.
