He lost all credibility when he said martial arts dont use that stance. The one known as sitting stance in TKD, horse stance in Kung fu, kebu dachi in Karate and sha no kemae in Samurai, just off the top of my head.
What he is saying is during a fight, no one would use that stance. It puts you at a disadvantage, especially during a sword fight!
Even when training with a sword/boken, horse stance isn't used. Either Rey has no idea of what she's doing or the person who was hired to train her, has no idea of what they are doing.She doesn't use it in a fight, just in training, in the very clip he shows to boot.

However, in that OP video he states no martial arts use that stance, which is wrong, most do. Primarily for training, which is what she is doing in that segment he is criticising. But it can be used within combat, it can be slipped to and from easily from walking stance. It's not a primary ready stance, but that is why martial arts have so many, to accommodate where the feet land at any given point in a fight.
