Hi Kamuiiv,
Before I get started, my training is in TKD and HKD, so I am a bit biased.
I think kicks are very effective. Of course it depends on what you are doing. If you train in a kicking style everyday and stay to where you can throw a high, or mid-high kick then they would probably help. If you only practice kicking every once in a while, they may be more of a finishing move then just regular combat.
I train 5 days a week. So I stay pretty stretched out. If I were to get into a fight, I would use my legs way more than my hands. That is how I have been trained.....so that is what I would use.
If you are fighting a regular ol' Joe Blow person then kicking is obviously going to be deadly. Most people do not kick in a fight so this would obviously throw this person off.
If you were fighting another MA'ist or just sparring, then the other MA person will likely adapt and counter with whatever he/she trains in.
Ground fighting is also good in real fights because for some reason everybody wants to tackle each other. I still have not figured out why??? Kinda odd it seems. I have never been in a fight since I started taking my MA's. I would really try to stay off the ground. If I ended up there anyways, TKD would not do me much good so I would have to switch over to HKD.
