A bit late to the thread -- just saw it.. But anyway...

Having trained in V-C Kung-Fu for over 10 years, the whole concept of being kilted while training (or fighting) just seems extremely silly to me. It ranks up there on the list of "things not to do while kilted" like rock climbing, horseback riding or parachuting... Just because you own a kilt and CAN doesn't mean you SHOULD. I never would.

But each to their own. If you think you have some innate sort of advantage in being kilted in the pursuit of your respective martial art then give 'er. But you will never catch me doing so. To me it would be a far greater hindrance than help.
