Wouldn't that slow you down?

The SPM styles are designed for extremely close quarters fighting where very little time is needed to change position. They also feel that it makes about as much sense to throw kicks at an opponent's head as it does to bend forward to punch him on the lower leg or foot!
Thus, for the sake of speed and practical proximity to the target, they use the arms and hands to defend and strike above the waist, and the legs and feet to defend and attack below the waist.
