Good question. The founder of Wado Ryu Hironori Ōtsuka was a Jujitsu master before he studied under Gichin Funakoshi to learn Karate. When he founded Wado Ryu, he took some of his core Jujitsu principles, higher more natural stances (his opinion) for evasion and the Ippon Gumite training technique :-)

Yes. Wado is designed for close-quarters combat where short stances are effective. Short stances are natural and more efficient. It is the long non-natural stances which require justification -- even if they do look superior in competitions and so-called "sports karate."
