And thats why you would loose.... you dont KNOW that you are fighting "Joe Everyman" do you? You might be fighting someone with a ton of street experience and even if you were not he might have 2 friends with him. 30 years ago you were pretty safe in betting that the person you were facing had never seen a kick to the head. Now... there are a ton of people with experience in TKD, MMA and other styles.
Just a note. Even in tournaments what is the percentage of kicks that are directed at the head actually hitting? Pretty dang low and now you want to do that on the street? Have you ever actually been in a situation were you had to defend yourself?

I'd certainly call a kick to the head a reasonable risk.
If any of us connect with roundhouse to the head that's even half as good as our standard in sparring, Joe Everyman is not getting back up. The same probably goes for a kick to the ribs, actually.
