In a fight, 'modesty' is the last consideration...
...but in all other respects, kilts are ideal garments, given the freedom of movement and lack of potentially binding structures; however, I would be more concerned that a heavily laden sporran might be a hindrance. Still, I prefer to train in the nude, on my own; and conform while in class. Nonetheless, my style disdains high-kicks in favour of solid dynamic balance and efficient movement; so, employing it in combat while maintaining one's modesty, regimentally kilted, would perhaps be somewhat more probable than while employing other arts. I have already noted that sitting seiza and in other popular meditative postures is easy whilst kilted.
The spirit of the Declaration of Arbroath (6 April 1320) abides today, defiantly resisting any tyranny that would disarm, disperse and despoil proud people of just morals, determined to keep the means of protecting their families and way of life close at hand.
