On the subject of Mazoku and "Chaos", I can't really say it'd make the Muken useless. Muken is literally materializing the concept of "fist", so it's hard to say something could weaken something like that. I wrote that about chaos when my ideas for Muken and associated Hakuda material was still fresh and premature, so I hadn't really come to my conclusions regarding the concept, so you shouldn't go off too much on what is written there. I mean, Chaos can still serve to wreck a person's will and all that, but it isn't really correct to call Muken or similar techniques something as simple as a manifestation of willpower. It's not Haki. But getting off topic a little. Anyways...

There's no reason why your character wouldn't be able to perform something similar to the Muken. Muken is not the pinnacle, but rather, it's sort of like... the gateway toward true Hakuda mastery. It is, by no means, Seireitou's strongest technique. Every punch he throws can be Ikkotsu. And every punch he throws can be Muken. That's his level of mastery. Muken and Ikkotsu aren't techniques, they just happen because that's how natural they are to him. A "step down" from that would be to still consider them techniques that require intention and preparation to perform. Muken, or simple "Empty Fist", is a technique all Hakuda Masters would eventually find themselves reaching in their quest to achieve true mastery over the martial arts. Because no matter what martial art it is or who the martial artist is, the will to strike does not change. All Hakuda Masters would eventually reach this conclusion during their training. Believe me, there are worlds beyond the Muken technique. And the Muken has different stages.

But if you don't want to give him the status of Master quite yet, then a step even further down than that would indeed be, as the others above are saying, reiatsu control. Reiatsu control would be the trademark of a Hakuda Expert. By taking a stance from a distance, one could fire multiple reiatsu fists at a distance while merely punching the air toward their target.
