I see this shit in movies all the time and it always just looks insane to me. Even just basic physics should mean that the equal and opposite reaction of one skull banging into the other would knock each person out equally. How does this ever work? The character always walks away like some badass as if they wouldn’t have some major concussion and are invincible. The only use of this I ever appreciated was the parody in an Adam Sandler movie where the guy did it and did actually pass out from it.
In: Physics
A properly executed headbutt should involve the headbutter using the part of his head where hairline meets forehead; that’s your hammer.
Your target, ideally, is the headbuttee’s mush: the nose.
Minimum damage to headbutter and plenty of damage to headbuttee.
This is not a knockout move, usually, but it’s usually totally debilitating and as long as you hit the nose, the headbuttee is going to have his eyes flooded with so many tears he will not be able to see anything.
Even tough guys would like to avoid the hard ceramic impact of bone on bone. So aim for something soft. With the part of your head where your hairline meets forehead.
Stay safe and enjoy your smashings!
