Pulling to chamber does train one other thing that hasn't been mentioned. There are many arm bar applications that require you to pull an opponents arm back to chamber so you can control the arm with your waist. This is a beginner chin na lock in many kung fu schools and it is one of the reasons chamber is taught. However, any instructor that tells you the waist is not used in striking has no business teaching others.
