The crown of the head is extremely strong and if used properly you are putting your entire body weight into the blow. The result is crushing power that will easily break a nose, knock loose teeth, or fracture cheek bones. As you can see in the video the only suitable protection for this kind of punishing blow is a full face motorcycle helmet. Because of the devastating nature of this move it should only be used in situations where you are in serious fear of someone causing you harm. That being said here are the basics of how to use a head butt for self defense. The biggest thing to remember is to use the top of your head not your forehead. Using the top of your head strengthens your blow and allows you to put your body weight behind it. You are not slapping or whipping your forehead into your opponent. You are driving your head into his face. The other key to this move is to grasp your attacker’s neck to thrust his head into your blow. This not only makes the head butt more powerful, it also allows you to maintain control of the attacker after the blow. As you can see in the video Paul Vunak’s assistant was pushed backward after the head butt. If this were a real street fight the attacker would have a chance to recover and continue fighting (although often time a really solid head butt is enough). Head Butt - do not allow your attacker the chance to recover from the head butt Holding the back of his neck allows you to deliver powerful elbow strikes after the initial head butt. Hitting him in combination like this greatly increases your chances of success, and keeping him close prevents him from punching or kicking (the basic tools of most fighters).

We always had the upper hand because it was likely the bad guy causing the trouble was drunk or high in some manner. And we were straight because we were working. We always had a few beers at the end of the night. Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread
