Fumikomi

I am working on a new concept of fumikomi. Typically, we aim to make it an uber-strong, board-breaking sort of kick, however this makes it slow and stupid -- hard to apply in real time when the target (opponent's foot or knee) is likely to be moving. How much force do you really need to break a foot bone or tear knee cartilage? Not much. So my new goal is to develop a light quick kick with laser-like aim. I'm looking for ways to get there. Any ideas?
