Headbutt Training

The human brain should be used primarily to anticipate and prevent any kind of danger. However, if a confrontation cannot be avoided, a skillfully used human head becomes a formidable weapon in a real fight. At Maximum Armour, our headbutt training teaches you to safely and effectively use your head as a powerful striking tool for self-defense.

Essentially, the head can function like a large, hard fist, and can be directed to strike any vulnerable point on an opponent: the face (nose, eyes, jaw, temple), solar plexus, or groin. This technique is especially effective against opponents who like to grapple, overwhelm others with their body weight, or trap people in bear hugs.

Unfortunately, many people are unwilling to use their head as a striking tool in life-or-death situations—this is a serious mistake. Sometimes, a single, well-practiced headbutt to the right spot is enough to take an opponent out of their "predator" mindset.

We teach people the basics, focusing on the safest and simplest techniques for headbutts in different positions. Our self-defense classes emphasize proper form and targets to ensure you can use this skill effectively while minimizing risk to yourself.

Important Note: Fighting unarmed against armed opponents is a very bad idea. But if you prefer to travel "light," without weapons, then you must know how to use your head as a weapon in any situation.
