All the comments I enjoyed. I am Shotokan to Shorin -ryu (Matsumura). I agree stances are more realistic in Shorin-ryu. But the deep Shotokan is largely for training uses to strengthen the legs, not meant for free sparring or the street. We sparred with much higher stances. We weren't conditioned into deep stances for fighting at all. This was just the training. JKA branch off.
