I'm just sayin', Plus I have been hearing this stuff for thirty years. Consider it a gift.
You either. Like that stuff about a counter-balance helping you do a non-counter-balanced move. I think you just want to believe.

No, you are.
That's the first time i have ever heard that one. The weight of a weapon pulls you along? So why do you practice. Is it for kata, self defence? Where does all your power come from to punch. I'm curious.Training for speed involves using weights, such as a stick or claw hammer, that will actually when started in motion, by you, will make your arm move faster, simply because the weight of the weapon pulls you along. This helps your body over ride its own self defense mechanism, of being slow to avoid pulling your joints out of socket or something, and in the end you can move faster than if you had not used the weights; however, heavy weights, while doing things slow is not going to ever help your speed, but I'm sure it builds muscle, and you just might feel better about yourself, and girls will like you!
Personally, I am more about alignment, and launching my 200+LB body around, and what ever power comes from that, plus letting the weight of the weapon do the work, all ends up being enough.
A punch is just an out and back motion with your hand, the power is in the hip, or the ground, if you are a rooting junky.
Something ingrained at birth.
The baseline is inherent ability.
See above.
