You are worried about getting hurt period, it would appear.
I dont worry at all about people using destructions, you just have to get on with it mate. you cant expect to have a fight where the other guy never manages to block you.
kicks are way too easy to defend against for you to try and make a reliable strategy with that involves them never using a destruction.

I understand what you are saying, that you want to be able to tell when they will use it. But its a fairly triggerless movement. a good way if they use it alot is to turn your low kick into a low line sweep.

if you catch their defending leg near the foot area their leg will bend at the knee and if you continue to the leg they are standing on they will end up on their ass.

you can always pull the kick if they block and counter punch on the half beat as well.

my personal view as i stated before is to use full force against their destruction and keep going at it with a no fear approach.

In thai boxing you will often see a thai boxer hack away at a leg regardless of any destruction or not. your mind against theirs. ive experienced people stop blocking due to the pain of their blocks being kicked with full force. this will hurt you more than them but its a state of mind. Imagine going agaisnt a guy that doesnt give a damn about your destructions and just hacks away at any defense you offer. not much fun. and winning is the aim of the game.

Anyway, i would still state that your plan is too precise, you need to be able to fight in any range, and not be saying "this is my game plan" because as we know,"everyone has a plan until they get hit"

I personally cant see you win many fights with a long range strategy, especially in a street fight where you may well not be lucky enough to have the luxury of range and space to move in.

what are you training for out of interest?
