I would assume power is generated from the ground up The thrust of (what I assume is a quarter staff) we call spear strikes Going into a lower stance than your enemy enables you to get more power when thrusting into a upward position to the chin neck or chest Or to gain a better position angle wise
You will hear a hundred esoteric reasons for low stances. In reality, these deep stances Train a few things: a better understanding of Center and whether it is forward or back; it inadvertently strengthens the legs when training and allows for an unspoken understanding of where your power is derived from; It also teaches how to move your center from one stance or position to the next. Once all of this is understood, sometimes unconsciously, your body will move with the experience of the deep stance when you are fighting and moving in a more natural stance because of your body and mind's level of entrainment. All of this is something that is very lightly mentioned in martial arts books throughout history, but is rarely expounded on in the modern schools.
