It can be done that way; it's fast and deceptive, if less powerful than getting your whole body into it. It doesn't give a lot of motion to give you away, can be quite accurate. I've done it in sparring, though not a lot.
Using both hands and combining that with body movement is stronger (obviously) but also more obvious.
All of this is "fluff text" for want combination of various combat options and maneuvers from martial arts and basic are you using, including Deceptive, Defensive, Telegraphic, Committed, All-Out, or throwing in some perks here and there. Obviously not all at once. :-)
