triangulation - they punch downard. Also, I mentioned above that thaiboxers scoop kicks. While scooping and/or sliding back, space is created. you use that space to either scoop the kick, or evade (you are sliding slightly out of range of the teep) With your hands lowered, you aren't making as much space. I've given several reasons, yet as with CA, you continue to ignore them.
