Good points, Bri.

There's a misconception that TMA techniques don't work. I wanted to clarify that they do work and you supplimented that with the delivery methods and training methods required to apply them.

There's also a great deal of technique overlap between styles, for example knee and elbow work in muay thai, silat, kenpo and wingchun. But some of the old methods aren't as practical when compared to more modern, direct training methods.

I agree completely with you about working techniques on pads as live as possible and with as much spontaneity as possible.

What about rakes and finger jabs? snap kicks aimed at the groin?
