Your thought?

If I'm reading you correctly, you're saying that if you know TJQ, you can kick to the same level as for example a competent karateka or a muay thai fighter?

A competent tjq fighter should be able to employ kicks as effectively in a fight, yeah

Definitely should, but that is the exception, not the rule. The exceptional kickers I know are getting their skills from bag/pad work, sparring, cross training in essence. The traditional methods, or at least the numerous ones I've seen, miss the critical elements of timing, distance, and consequently accuracy and delivery/power, plus the defensive ability in this sphere often leaves much to be desired.
