Correct Way to Do a Head Butt?

What’s the correct technique?

Is it like a football spear tackle, where you ram the top of your head into the other guy’s face/chin?

Or is it more about using your forehead/top of your head like a hammer, with your neck as an axis?

I expect a lot of sarcasm, so any serious replies are appreciated.

ask zidane :smiley:

as a serious reply… both way are possible…

hammer like if you are taller/same height… ram like if you are “shorter”

Do NOT swing your head on your neck if you are seriously going to headbutt someone. It might work like that if you are just smacking their nose from up close, but if you are going head-to-head, you are setting yourself up for serious neck damage. Swing from your waist or push up with your legs. Targets should include the nose, temple, or side of the jaw.

Some strike with the forehead, I’d prefer the top of the forehead, just at or above the hairline. Striking with the top of the head (Ram-Man style) could damage your spine, not recommended.

Practice on a heavy bag to find out what works, and if you seriously injure anyone, even on accident, be prepared to face assault charges.

Other than that, have fun.

Rutten RAWKS!
By and by, check out his mighty fine proper headbutting technique.

I prefer the temple to temple technique myself, it hurts but it’s more effective
