I understand that JKD (or the Jun Fan KF side of it) emphasises a quicker and a more efficient route to the target. Why does the emphsis on a strong side lead and no high kicks? If you watch someone like Mirko KroKop in Pride high kicks can be very effective.

I could easily be wrong, just trying to understand the reasoning behind what I've learnt.
