Most people consider Tai Chi as a martial art that includes graceful and slow dance-like techniques. But you will be amazed to discover the intense power that can be generated by these apparently soft movements. Once you master the techniques of Tai Chi properly you will develop a kind of expertise that will allow you to deliver a strike with explosive power to unbalance an attacker and that is fa jin. “Fa” is to attack and “Jin” is trained force. Now, it may take years to master the expertise to use fa jin. So you need to be patient when you are training in tai chi.

No single art does. It's the practitioner, how well they understand the mechanics taught, how well the teacher got the mechanics across to the student, etc ... Some stress it more, some don't.
But no single "art" produced more or less of anything.

The development of internal power doesn't only depend upon an understanding of the mechanics of an art, but also on the intention of the practitioner.

It's not the style that produces the Fa Jin, it's the person.

Focus more on balance and chi flow directions will bring about a more subtle internal force of strength. Controlling the opponents chi is very unsettling for them when masterfully done. This is the felt but never seen Kung Fu developed from practicing Chi Kung.

Just wanted to add it is not the style that makes fa Jin work better or more than another style because all styles use it. Some differently than others. Example when blocking you may twist to the left, you have compressed your left side also which makes it primed and ready to throw a left hock punch. Compressing and releasing in all your movements either blocking, ducking, or punching will give all your moves power. This is what makes it an art if you do it properly.
