Kickboxing is the most natural way to fight.
With Bak mei and other southern systems, you kind of go "against" nature and that is why it is so crucial to spar others OUTSIDE the system.
It takes a bit of work but in the end what you have, hopefully, is something that you bring to the table that is very different from the everyday blend and, hopefully, that can give you an edge.

Praise be my Lord my Rock,
He trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle !
