Chambering the fist like in the forms is unrealistic

What do you find the purpose for chambering, if you dont actually use it in sparring?

To repeat: The main reason for chambering the hand, at least in original karate kata, is that it represents pulling the opponent into a strike with the other hand. There is a lot of grabbing and pulling in traditional Okinawan karate. Other than that, it's only good for beginners to practice power generation.

I would say it’s actually good for EVERYONE to practice power generation. That needs constant polishing and refining.

I'm aware. I was asking kenpomaster specifically since it seemed like he might have had another use for it.
