Beginner level: standing punch - punch when feet are not moving.
Intermediate level: running punch - punch when feet are moving (with footwork). In this level, the term "static stance" no longer exist.
Advance level: body twisting punch - punch with body and not with arm. In this level, you only see body movement. You don't see arm movement.
What your opinion on this?

Don't think so.

- raise your body up for upward back palm strike.
- sink your body down for downward palm strike.
- rotate your body to your left for right to left back palm strike.
- rotate your body to your right for left to right palm strike.
- lean body forward for forward palm strike.
It mainly trains how to use body to push/pull your arm. During the training, you forget your arm and only pay attention on your body. I like that training very much.

Perhaps it's a training ideal that got lost in translation? A saying like "punch with the legs" or even "punch with the bows" can be swapped with "punch with the body not the arms".
To let your power to be generated from your back heel, go through your back leg, hip, body, shoulder, arm, and finally reach to your hand can be slow. When you see a mosquito flies in front of your face, if you use this method to kill that mosquito, when your power can reach to your hand, that mosquito will be long gone
