Low stances

Low stances are a throwback to a time when martial artists wore heavy body armour and fought battles in muddy fields. The urban sphere is quite another scenario altogether.

Horse stance training is about developing leg strength, not combat. Your body usage needs to feel as comfortable and as natural as possible.
This will improve mobility, attract less attention and protect your knee joints.

If you cannot get power from an everyday standing position, you are overly dependent upon the hips and the solidity of your base. Whole-body movement generates power in a wave-like fashion.

A low stance is simply redundant.
