>Kicking in the street is actually dangerous. The risk of slipping, doing it without a proper warm-up, wearing jeans/other non flexible trousers... you kinda wanna avoid that
You do, unless you're good at it
If you slip, you might be able to just stand up again
It's not like a bum on the street is so dangerous that one mistake and you're 100% fucked

No, it's the exact opposite, elbows are very strong, sharp and dangerous
It's also really easy to teach someone to throw a hard ("smashing" style) elbow with their bodyweight in it, whereas punching is actually quite difficult to learn to do well. Especially because you can do it from contact
The downside is that you have to be quite close

My quibble with the tueller drill is that if somebody charges you, you probably won't stand still, you'll back up. This might not help, maybe make you mess up your draw, but still

I hate to have to be the one to tell you this but you can do anything. Anything.
