Reverse Tan Sao is an efficient deflection
when applied from an extended arm position. Used mainly against high straight
punches.
It may be that you initiated an attack, your opponent also punches over your
arm at the same time, your arm is not in a suitable position for a normal Tan
Sao as it is extended past its normal position. The reverse Tan comfortably
deals with the attack.
