Eh, when I was in karate I was taught to stand more like this when fighting, albeit with my legs less stiff. Being able to keep your front hand within range to block incoming strikes to the head then using your reverse hand to retaliate. Having to raise your front hand from your torso to your face to intercept an attack would be seen as too much movement, at least how I was instructed (like we were constantly reminded not to drop our front hand during sparring sessions).
