Good luck lifting up a limp person (who may be ready to kick at you). It is doubtful you will have much luck. This is often the recommended method to avoid being taken from a safe place. I don't know what bullshido you trained in, but I guarantee the average person wouldn't be able to pull off an effective attack without serious training, in particular when the person who is attacking you singled you out as an easy target and had the element of surprise.

Massive leap from schoolyard bully to a sexual predator/rapist/murderer.
Of course strikes have their place - the important rule to remember is to NEVER allow yourself to be removed from a safe area. If dropping to the ground is known to work and easy to do, yah that is what I would recommend.
