For whoso comes amongst many shall one day find that no one man is by so far the mightiest of all.
Hey, I closed because, to be honest, the argument is done since everyone had stated their view and cited their sources. The rest would be a "****" measuring contest".
As for this thread.
It can be argued that the bow stance ( front stance) has MORE benefit than the horse stance.
Psalms 144:1
Praise be my Lord my Rock,
He trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle !

The bow-arrow stance can be harder to do than you may think.

The
- horse stance,
- bow-arrow stance, and
- golden rooster stance
are the 3 major building blocks for the Chinese throwing art. It's hard to say which one is more important than the other.

Sure, dynamic exercises are "better" than static, most would agree on this since, especially MA wise, we are dynamic creatures.
Fighting is dynamic not static and MA is about fighting primarily.
A low bow stance will give your hips, quads, hams and glutes a better workout than a horse stance. It requires more strength, balance and stabilizers.
