@Mary: I would say that is exactly the reason we should spend time on training against kicks.
Why would you spend time training against a type of attack that you're very unlikely to encounter except as an incompetent and ineffective execution? Oh, I've seen plenty of people try to use them in a fight; hey, they've seen the chop sockey flicks too, they know that when you get in a fight you're supposed to kick. In reality, though, what you'll see is something like this.

"You want me to show you tough? I'll show you tough."
