    There is no way to circumvent this conundrum...there will always be some trade off...

    You can have Kung Fu in cooking, it really has nothing to do with fighting!

    The WC chain punches is another good example. If you use "forward pressure" (that mean's your body is not rotated) and try to throw 4 straight punches in 1 second (or even faster), when and how will you be able to generate your power for each punches? You may generate 1 powerful punch for every 3 non-powerful punches. To me, that's to use 3 fake punches to set up a real punch, it's no longer chain punches by definition.
