I am learning self defence. I don't intend to become a master at martial arts. So I think it is wise to keep things simple. I want to concentrate on a few basic moves, and learn them well.

Should I learn this low kick? At 3:30 minutes. Video: Bass Rutten vs Warpath. Bass Rutten immobilises Warpath with a kick to the thigh muscle.

I'm not sure how effective it would be in a real fight, and I don't see it being so devastatingly in MMA very often. Maybe it would only work if I had the exceptional leg power of Bass Rutten, which is never going to happen.
