    Disclaimer: I didn't read that site or anything, I just randomly found the pic in google images and wanted to post it here.

    Man, he rides a BIG FAT HORSE!

    indeed.

    more like "corpulent horse stance"

    possibly

    "ride the elephant stance"

    or

    "goatse prep stance"
    Kung Fu is good for you.

    I don't know the purpose of this wide horse stance. It does not give you the best balance. It's useless in combat. If someone spring one of your leg from inside out, you will fall.

    Ask a college wrestler if they ever "use" wall sits.

    I think that site is teaching you how to do the splits, not fight from that stance.

    He has a body like yoga practitioners I've seen.
    Also, high top shoes is usually not indicative of a Chinese M.A. practitioner.

    You can use your wide horse stance to train certain ability if you just bend your knee inward. It can help you to reduce the angle between your low leg and foot which can give you better "leg bite" ability.
