If you know what you're doing, though, these types of strikes are set up, making them much more difficult to see, block or avoid. CLF also uses extensive straight and off-angle strikes, as well. Many of those same karate people end up learning to respect (or complain bitterly about) those 'wide, flailing punches'.
