[QUOTE=MasterKiller;1220145]The problem with getting your sidekick caught is that you essentially have no recourse. If a teep or roundhouse gets caught, your hips can be turned toward the opponent and you can try to clinch the neck etc to maintain balance. Sidekick gets caught and you might as well pull guard because the position of your hips makes it very hard to maintain balance long enough to counter.[/QUOTE]
Yup. I believe that is why we don’t see the sidekick more.
