trouble with stances

[Ueshirokarate]

I may lunge into a zenkutsu dachi in a fight, but I sure am not going to go too deep or stay in it more than a second or so. I personally wouldn't spend a moment thinking about a stance regarding this kind of stuff, for whichever low-probability of sweep stance you choose, a skilled opponent will find another door to open pretty quickly and if you are too committed to a stance you are going down some other way. In my view is while kata stances are for fighting, they aren't to be held for very long in a real world fight or kumite competition.
