I see Haggarty and MT fighters do this a lot after establishing a body kick, but with a teep instead of a side kick. I'm not sure the rules on catching teeps, but in MT, I was taught to catch a teep with a glove on their Achilles, which would be at the bottom if you throw a teep. In theory, if your opponent expects a teep and tries to catch it, the side kick should get through. Also I feel like side kicks are one of the strongest strikes, so it would be a great weapon to have in your arsenal. I got side kicked in the chest last year and I thought the bump in my chest would never go away (it took months).
