The stance seems to be heavily based on several forms of Tai Chi Broadsword. Because of this, the stances are fluid like and involve defending and attacking all in the same fluid motion movement.

However, the general philosophy of any Tai Chi martial art is to move slow and then strike fast, strike slow and then move fast. It's all about acheiving balance, and the philosophy of Tai Chi, or the school of yin and yang (Yes, this is the taijitu symbol), is the balance of opposite yet complimentary forces. Therefor combining quick movements with slow ones acheives this balance.

I could be wrong, but from what I've seen thus far, it is similar to yang form tai chi when the wushu art takes hold in combat.
