I often wonder how people practice head butting.

Surely you’d only do it in a real fight situation, so your first try is in a real fight.

Change in momentum of your head. As the butter, you’re head doesn’t move much. You put your whole body into it. Your whole body slows down.

As the butted, your head jolts back having received the entire energy of the butter. Without foreknowledge of being headbutt, you didn’t tense your neck muscles.

Also, as the butter, you wouldn’t use a headbutt on a bigger headed guy.

Source: if got a huge melon and have butted heads before. Generally, I’m coming out unscathed.

Look up Lethwei on youtube – it’s a Burmese martial art similar to Muay Thai, except it also allows headbutts.
A proper headbutt typically involves taking the hard “helmet” part of your head and thrusting it against the delicate “mask” part of your opponent’s face. The swinging forehead to forehead headbutts you see in movies are just a cinematic convention.

You missing a lot of context but general aim is to use your forehead (which is tough, strong, durable and has few nerves) to smash oppobent nose ( which is squishy, has a tons of nerves and a lot of nearly exposed blood vessels)
