personally its really hard for me or anyone in our dojo to use yoko-geri. sensei drills us every single day on defense techniques and theres almost never a day that we dont practice a technique that effectively nullifies straight kicks. yoko-geri, mai-geri, if you arent lightning fast with them you wont pull them off at our dojo.
ive always wanted to be good at yoko-geri so i keep trying. hopefully the difficulty involved with utilizing it at our dojo will make me great at it against other people.
