The stance is reflecting the traditional nature of the tournament. many schools deviate from the traditional hands down wide stance, and endorse a much more practical street stance. most schools i have seen teach both traditional and "Street applicable" sparring.

either that or these guys are just trying to break their opponents hands against their faces, and thus end the fight.
