Not that I particularly use them for such purposes, I've always been more of a kicking type. Long legs 8D

I'm going to go by my videogame experiences and say I'm more of a kicker when fighting in videogames - there just seems to be more power packed behind them, to compensate for the supposed inaccuracy I see from kicks on occasion.

But then again, it's really hard to avoid the allure of a very powerful Warlock

As of right now I'm a complete pacifist, so rather than punching or kicking I aim to avoid both.
I used to get into a lot of fights when I was younger though (and I mean elementary school young). In those cases I kicked 99% of the time because I have crappy upper body strength. xD

I am much more of a 'kicker' than a 'puncher'. Considering that my lega are significantly stronger than my arms, and my punch can be hard but not as hard as my kicks. I actually gave my "enemy" a blood nose from kicking him in the face. I am not much of the violent type but when I get angry, or someone annoys me I absorb the annoyance and release it in a wave of fury. So don't mess with me *****es. Lol; XD

Hmmmm.

Everyone assumes that kicking does more damage, and is therefore more useful in a fight. However, it is of my opinion that kicking is almost completely useless in a street fight, unless one has had prior experience and/or training. Firstly, unless you have incredible lower body strength, your assailant is not going to be incapacitated from a kick to the gut. Secondly, I believe that it takes a longer time to land a kick than a punch. Thirdly, all the vital areas are on the upper body, so unless you have incredible flexibility, or, like I mentioned before, training, you're not going to land a kick on the face.

I think it's quite clear where I stand.

Kicking, most definitely. I have long legs which are very strong from a combination of genetics, activities, and a school that is practically all stairs. I can also balance much better when kicking as opposed to punching, since I tend to misestimate my arm’s reach.
I also don't like punching for fear of messing up my hands. I need those.

I am an intellectual, and not a 'kicker' nor a 'puncher'.

I can't really fight save by the unsporting method of shot but, if anything, I'm more of a grappler; that is, more keen to grab you and throw you to the ground than peck at you with static blows. Of the two given choices I'd go with... in fact, a kick. What would be my style obviously means getting in close, and some leverage, so while I'm in close, why not thrust my knee into my opponent's gut or something.

When I actually do fight, I'm more of a grappler than anything. XD

I'll vote for Kicking though. I've got strong legs,and they're easier to deliver when my arms are in the process of restraining someone. :P
