- non-striking hand pulling back, and
- punching arm twisting.
No matter how much power that you can generate in your WC punch, it will not be your "maximum" power punch.

In real fighting, you just don't have that 1 second. The major problem of Fajin is it requires "compression time". After a full compression and when you try to release it, your opponent may not be there any more.
