I've heard that stance called a tiger stance and in the Wing Chun I do, we don't stand in it. Its very hard on the tendons and ligaments around the knee. The system I used to study did that a lot. I could hold it for about three minutes, but not sure I could anymore. Three minutes seems like such a short time when you say/type it, but I remember thinking it was forever. Keep your back straight when you do this stance. Leaning forward makes it too easy
If you hands out in front of you at shoulder level, it'll give you something to focis on and work your shoulders a bit too. If you are doing the stance right, it looks like you are sitting in a chair.
