Pak sow, bong sow, tan sow are shown here out of the lat sow application drill.
Keep in mind that these are not blocks per se, but momentarily interrupted punches.Therefore each postures start point is as a punch, and their finish point is as an extended punch, hopefully making contact with the partner.
Often the short term move is only shown, not the completed move. So people start to think of the particular move as a static position, rather than a process.
Pak sow is a slapping palm 'block'.
Tan sow is a palm up arm position.
Bong sow is a bent arm position.
Many wing chun people are looking to see the 'perfect' bong or tan sow etc..Their definition is usually the fully extended verion, held somewhat stationary for a relatively long period of time. Our belief in WT is that eventually you wont see the postures themselves in most cases, but rather the function will be there working to allow your punch easy and quick entry to the opponent.
