How can a small, frail young girl, knock out cold, a much larger, more muscular, more powerful and “experienced” professional bouncer?  I’ll tell you how – the head butt!

Watch this incredible clip of one of the most effective head butts ever caught on tape.   With the head-butt, it doesn’t matter how young or how old you think you are.  If you can head butt, you can destroy any aggressor!

The clip is a real surveillance video and is therefore a little grainy, but notice the white arrow of the thumbnail photo which points to the foot of the head butting girl.

An Interview with Christopher “Bob” Roberts on The Head Butt!

Charles Prosper - In this article, Christopher “Bob” Roberts, expert reality-based combat instructor, ex-soldier, bouncer, body guard and police trainer is going to give us insights on one of his favorite techniques that he has used in real street fighting combat – the head butt.  So, Bob, help us out.  Give us 3 reasons why the head butt is so effective in a real street fight.

Christopher “Bob” Roberts -  Alright, well -

The 1st Reason Why The Head Butt Is So Effective Is Because The Hardness and The Weight of The Human Head Is Basically Similar To A Bowling Ball - If want to have an idea how effective a good head butt is, go home tonight, lay in your bed, and have your wife drop your bowling ball on your face.

Charles Prosper – (Laughter.)

Christopher “Bob” Roberts – And that is basically what it feels to be hit by a head butt.

Charles Prosper – Wow!

Christopher “Bob” Roberts – Okay, now -

The 2nd Thing Is Kind of Interesting in That You Don’t Need To Use Your Hands or Your Feet To Head Butt Somebody - That basically means that if we’re in a situation where you’re grabbing both my of my arms, when somebody is grabbing my arms, I can still effectively head butt.

If we’re in a situation where we’re grappling up against the wall or on the ground, I can still even though my hands are being used to hold you down or to push you away, I can still head butt you because I don’t need my arms or my legs.  It’s all head.

I know a lot of people not used to the head butt will only look for the arms or the legs.

The 3rd Thing Is If You Do It Properly, You Can Launch It Without Any Preparation Whatsoever - This basically means, people will talk about preemptive strikes, you do not have to prepare yourself;  you do not have to wind up.

You basically go from talking to a person – and then immediately launch into a head butt  that he will not see coming because you didn’t prepare for it.  You didn’t wind up.  You didn’t get ready.  And -

Charles Prosper – Now, Bob, I have one quick question before we wrap up because this is a confusion with a lot of people.  Where is the spot on your head that you strike with?  Is it the forehead, or is it the top of the head, where the forehead meets the hairline is?

Christopher “Bob” Roberts – It is right around where the hairline would be.  And if you’re basically going to come too high or too low, make sure you come too high.

It’s not anywhere near the eyebrows.  And it is not in the middle of your forehead.  It’s basically around where the hairline is, or about a half of an inch lower than the hairline.  Because other than that, if you go any lower than that, you risk the chance of cutting your own forehead, your own eyebrows and bleeding a lot into your eyes.

Charles Prosper – Okay, that is a very important bit of information, and with that we’re wrapping it up.  And again, thank you so much, Bob for these insights.

Bob – Alright, thanks a lot, Charles.
