| They are horrible habits and even in the case of the reverse punch you should still use your hips. TKD is not well known for it's striking methods and that sums up why. Chambering is ok for drills and to apply isometric pressure to the tricep but I would never ever, ever ever do this in a fight. A lot of arts have a one blow one kill mentality and that just doesn't translate well to real life.
