Hence the focus on the punch in VT. The number one criticism we get from other WC systems is that we lack a bunch of different techniques and are therefore comparatively "incomplete". But then people who switch systems often do so after realizing the superfluous stuff only works in class with their likeminded training partners. VT is simple for practical reasons.
