I actually feel That there is a chance boxing and low kick are more likely to score in the UK than they are in Thailand, mainly due to the fact that we don't work enough over here on correct positioning and stance! Low kicks are easier to block with the shin than body kicks if you are stood in a correct stance. It is easier to stop somone from boxing using body kick and knee, again if you are stood correctly in the right place.

Add that to the fact that these techinques were tremendously succesful when Thai boxing first came over here, in particular the low kick, because even fewer people stood correctly or had any idea how to block them then. Gyms had great success using these and some are now reluctant to change their primary attacking techniques!
