Horseback vs Character 2 Abduction stance?

Which one is more stable? For those who don't know, the character 2 abduction stance is the Wing Chun stance and the horseback is a basic Shaolin Kung Fu stance.

Horseback vs Character 2 Abduction stance?
The YJKYM (the wing chun stance) is not made for stability, but is actually a structure that will support your own strikes fully while able to break up into another stance (the turning stance) without losing structure. It is also almost equally strong in all directions.The point here is mobility and versatility.


The basic horse, father of all low stances is very strong against frontal, but will give in against diagonal force easily.


While the basic horse guards the lower body just by the position of the frontal leg, the YJKYM structure also gives a little more protection.


If you are sure you can stop the incoming momentum, the basic horse is your choice. If in doubt, the character 2 is.


I'm 1.90m 110kgs (yeah, plump, but big nonetheless) and I'd only choose the deep stances to push a car or in similar situations, not in fights.
