You guys are horribly simplistic. Chambering is not an empty motion. If you don't have something in your hand, you wouldn't chamber in a fight.

Man, are you guys novices in martial arts.

That being said, the reason TKD artists chamber is because the Koreans copied all the moves from the Chinese, who copied their moves from the Japanese. A lot was lost in translation.
