Watch Jake from Armchair Violence try to convince me that fighting dirty is a bad idea ruclips.net/video/E6WRsaeW-m0/видео.html
I'm caribbean decent and from the hood so the headbutt was taught as a standard weapon. Fighting dirty is the only way in the streets. Now sports eh.... Also the headbutt is a primary move in capoeira
If you ain't fighting dirty, are you really fighting? Even top end sports fighters utilise headbutt, eye gouges, foot stomps and sneaky elbows from time to time
It's legit but gives you CTE..so not good for the sport .. good for the streets though

What I reeeeeeally want to watch is how to chain a headbutt into a rolling thunder 🤔
When jake said LEG MUSSELS I felt mikes pain😂😂
I was going to comment this
He deserves it for teasing us in so many recent videos, by not saying it when he should have.
For a few seconds he thought about killing him
I have no regrets lol
@@ArmchairViolence hit em with a flying triangle fa me next vid got you on the sub💪🏼
I completely stole your "leg muscles" line, and I have no regrets!
Chad
He did told you for you "I am the trainer here so let me explain the details!" 😂
You can clearly see the moment soul leaves Mikes body, and Doom Eternal music hits... But then he subdues inner rage and goes on
@@ThousandTimesNo doom sucks
In all fairness, he was putting his hardness into your softness -- I say you earned that much.
Lol
Released 1 second ago with a comment from 6 days ago. Mike is doing real youtuber stuff now with scheduled uploads.
Because it was released as a patreon video first, and then he released it now.
So yeah, it makes sense.
At 2:19, Sensei Seth and the other guy's face are priceless!
Icy Mike gonna put where he's hard where you are soft.
*Sensei Seth likes this*
It is so perfect, it must be scripted.
2:19, had to happen
Icy Mike: “Where do most people go wrong with their uppercut? They try to throw it too hard.”
*Ryu has entered the chat*
At the Ryu: Institute of Hadou we never say you can't, we always say "Shoryuken"
@@reeseblakeney7917 I say hadukken

To be fair it's by far and away Ryu's most punishable technique.
Sensei Seth, Icy Mike, and Leg Muscles Jake need to collaborate more often. Subscribed!
I first thought that the dude with the Batman t-shirt was weird but after that 1:32 moment I realised that I was gonna do THE SAME THINGS as him if I was in your dojo. Your reaction a second later would've probably been the same, too. 😂😂😂
What was the joke there? I feel out of the loop here
@@danielc.5724 LEG MOOSCLES.
It’s from an older video, it might be the one inch punch video, but I’m not sure
@@sturg0353 there are a few older vids where he references that one inch punch vid
Other than Lethwei, Kudo is another full contact martial arts style/branch that uses headbutts in sparring and competition. The headgear allows it to be trained safely. I love my Kudo.
Combat Sambo does it too
Capoeira also got a headbutting motion
Head butts from lethwei could be something you could look at
Agreed
he's got a video on that
@@MortezaFC I know just wanted to point it out for others
Let’s not forget evander Holyfield
In a street fight, there's no "dirty" as far as I'm concerned. If you start a fight with me, you're already dirty. My purpose is self-preservation and getting out of the fight alive and intact, and I will use any tool I have in my toolbox if the opportunity presents itself.
🎯
That’s what I’m saying if you crazy enough to fight with me and attack me why would I fight fair SMH someone can get killed. We are fighting for our life not for cookies for cripes sake 😂
@Anonymous-pk8bk can't have cookies if you aren't alive though, so I say we're fighting for both ;)
1:32 when Jake said leg muscles lmao 🤣
What?
Lmfao that was hilarious😂
“That’s my line!”
Oh man, you guys gotta see Dave Leduc's Lethwei combo he practices incorporating punches, into a headbutt, finishing the combo with an hell-bow slash (diagonal elbow strike). So devastating!
when Jake said (leg muscles) we can see for a few seconds that Mike thought about killing him
I drained his soul out of his body, and it was beautiful lol
It was like calling a guy his high-school nickname :)
I put my money on Jake...
Seen a lot of the old skinhead combo. Doc Martens soccer kick. Most people check and lower their hands to not get kicked by a boot. This makes them also not protect their face, you're already doing a running move forwards continue the momentum and plant your head in their face. Doesn't work every time but a lot of times. Sometimes even against people that are way better fighters than the person throwing it because they don't train against either soccer kicks or headbutts.
Go to Glasgow in Scotland mate. We're the headbutting experts🥃💪
the infamous Glasgow kiss
Lol I knew a Scottish bloke used to headbutt dartboards for practice,he liked using them in street fights lol
That guy with the backwards '22' in his forehead? He fully committed to them :)
@@malkomalkavian 😂😂😂😂
Ah traditional Scottish martial arts, Feh-Kyu
(it's mostly head butting and then kicking them on the ground)
Seth and Mike's bromance is beautiful
Seth has mastered, standing so incredibly still, that he is invisible to the human eye.
00:00 🥊 Headbutts in combat sports: Some consider headbutts dirty, but they're comparable to other techniques not allowed in regulated sports.
01:09 🦴 Your head isn't the weapon in a headbutt; it's about using leg muscles to drive into it, not brute force from the head.
02:09 📏 Advantage of height: Smaller stature can leverage headbutts by hitting where it hurts for taller opponents.
03:06 🥊 Similarity to uppercuts: Headbutts don't require excessive force, just precision and leveraging body weight.
04:32 🛡 Safety in headbutting: Moderation of power and technique can prevent injury and maintain control.
05:44 ⚔ Headbutts in fighting strategy: Avoid chasing knockouts, incorporate them strategically as distractions or positional moves.
06:24 🥋 Training headbutts: Incorporate headbutts into pad work and sparring cautiously with trusted partners.
07:50 🤝 Headbutt training etiquette: Coordinate with a partner or practice headbutt-like movements to integrate them smoothly into training.
09:17 ⛑ Safety in practice: While valuable, headbutt training should be done cautiously due to potential impact and injury risks.
10:00 🔀 Headbutts in technique: Integrate headbutts strategically into combinations, especially after creating openings.
11:26 🧠 Importance of training: Headbutts can be a game-changer but require intelligent, safe training for effectiveness in combat.
If a person's IQ is higher, will the headbutt hurt more? Jk
Good stuff! 🥊🥊
No but do enough head butts or take enough punches to the head and it will cost you later. Just sayin.
@Spodo bbb yes, the more intelligent fighter will be hurt more
Headbutt. The great Equalizer for short people.
Where was Dave Leduc for this amazing video?? He sure is the Master of the Headbutt. Sidenote; Lethwei is considered a combat sport. So headbutts are not illegal in ALL combat sports.
Edit: The clinch guard will also change a lot when headbutts are allowed as it is a major game changer. Very interesting to compare the guard of a Muay Thai guy vs a Lethwei guy. The head protection and idead that it is a danger is quite prevalent.
0:27 sumo, lethwei, combat sambo, rugby even the gridiron you like there goes... ☹️
Headbutts rules and where allowed are a game changer. Also if not allowed but used anyway I guess...
blast double in free style wrestling is basically a head butt to the chest
this was the best collab. More Armchair Violenc + Hard2Hurt please!
That's just what I was searching for! Mike is my FBI agent.
You want to see professional fights that use headbutts you should check out lethwei. They use punches kicks elbows knees tie ups and headbutts
OMFG THE TMNT PIZZE LAUCHER! BEST TOY I HAD AS A KID!!!!
I'm with Jake. I like headbutts actually, a lot, but I like them because I'm shorter than a lot of people. I actually believe he's right about elbows, and in fact, when you shouldn't throw a headbutt you could throw an elbow, but when you could land a headbutt, you should also land an elbow, so... I train them, but not so much because it is also dangerous when using 10% of strength, and I think it doesn't worth it to put yourself in more danger than the actual fight. It's like back throwings in Judo, they're dangerous but there is a tiny time to use them, and they look awesome like this.
I'm with you. Mike is mainly using them at distance, and I can see how that could be risky when you have the option of elbows.
The place I really like them from is a wrestling clinch where you already have head pressure. You can throw short, tiny headbutts with minimal risk. Kind of like how shoulder strikes are used in MMA.
It lets you dominate the clinch because they're too busy reacting to your headbutts to clinch fight.
Not exactly a knockout blow, but virtually no risk!
You guys are informative and hilarious all together. great work.
As a shorter guy, it's nice to see defence techniques that work well against taller people, most guys tend to be the same level, so being able to land a headbutt direct to the nose is perfect, an honestly it's easy to pull off even super close.
High quality content here sir!
Btw, who's that kid you brought on? He seems pretty good.
That's meeeee!
I do fight analysis and talk about self-defense concepts
I like this trio
Head butts are pretty useful and applicable in self-defense scenarios as long as you incorporate it in training and you know how and when to use head butts properly.
It’s good to use it on people who get too close (this happens with a lot of wannabe gangsters)
This is my first time watching you guys... this was so entertaining to watch lmao. Subscribed
Mike, what are your thoughts on King of the Streets?
"Trying ta catch you fightin' dirty" lmao nice
2:15 hahaahahaha, especially the look on Sensei Seth's face afterwards. . . .
Did you feel robbed when Jake said leg muscles? 😂
The dynamic between you is marvellous to behold. :-)
this is my new favorite video on headbutts
Also if you didn't already bring it up in the video i wanted to point out that an hand-trapping / wrist control techniques (maybe even wingchun idk maybe) would go well with headbutt combos.
Being from Glasgow this is known as a "Glesga (Glasgow) Kiss" or a "stookie", "malky", or "heeder" We have a lot of terms for headbutting, I guess it's like Eskimos having 50 words for snow.
What's funny is it actually has its origins in a self-defense context of finishing a fight before it stars when someone puts their face too close to yours, or if someone is going for a razor in their pocket which was common in the 70s in gangs. I'm guessing the logic was you can prevent someone going for a weapon with both hands or control a weapon while still doing damage.
You also taught it pretty much how I was told to do it. The only difference was when throwing it from a step in jab like that people always showed it more like the headbutt was a right straight, where rather than driving in square you pivot the back foot and rotate the hips to catch them with the corner of the forehead like the point of your elbow.
I think that comes from soccer being the national sport as that's how you redirect the ball with your head, kind of from a boxing stance. I'd be curious to know though if you think that's more like a sport elbow where cutting a person in self defense isn't the best option or if you think there's any merit to it?
In Burmese boxing/lethwei we headbutt with top of the skull aiming for soft parts of the face but never do we fully wind up before atack we only use short sharp movements with neck being quite tense to brace for impact.
I remember the pizza launcher ;)
That thing was awesome and dangerous. Loved it.
Dangit, Mike... Quit reminding us how old we are!😑
Really putting your head in the game here. Nice.
2 and a bit mins in, Seths face made the video, how good is he
5:23 Holy cow, Mike. You just gave me a flashback to those disc launchers I had as a kid. They weren't ninja turtle themed, just generic colors, but same thing, lmao.
Really like that 1, 2 combo followed with the unexpected head butt. Thx for sharing 💯🥊
Lethwei uses headbutt very well in the clich. A whipping kind. And looks very strong
Learning while laughing, I love it 😂
Dude, what a great channel! :D Thank you and best regards from germany
Any chance you can do a video touching on motorcycle gear? Of course not everybody rides but for those that do it'd be cool to see how effective the knuckle padded gloves are for fighting, alongside the helmet and possibly test the protection from a good motorcycle jacket- especially one with armour ( last ditch knife and bat protection?)
There's nothing "dirty" about headbutting. You win a fight by all means possible. Only professional fighters can win a fight by decision. Remember that and you'll be fine.
Great video as always
2:19 🤣
Btw watching from London UK, great vids
Fantastic video! This is a great discussion about headbutting with a lot of sensible training methodology and discussion.
Some people think pulling hair and biting is dirty too. I don't mind explaining why it isn't versus the other outcome...
Dang Seth you got pretty good speed dude I wouldn't want those head butts and fist coming at me. Great video guys.
headbutts hurt like hell. but they can also be a great way to knock yourself out unintentionally, especially if you throw them with everything you got.
i have been headbutt and they rocked themselves giving me the opportunity to get out from under their full mount. but i wouldnt recommend getting headbutt at all if possible. getting one in the nose really sucks.
Headbutts, punches to the back of the head and groin knees are legit weapons to be used. They even happen accidentally in a lot of sports resulting in cuts, a lot of pain and even severe brain damage.
Great overview of the headbutt.
great video! really informative. thanks for sharing
Y'all need to merge channels or something cause I can't get enough of you fools
I learned headbuts playing rugby with my older cousins and i prefer to through them in the clinch or on the ground, all you need is a tap to break the nose or the cheekbones
the editing is so damn good
here, the best trick for small guys ! your fronthead directly on your opponent's chin
3:03 Has got to be one of the best out of context lines you've ever had the pleasure of saying.
Evander Holyfield's matches are the best, if you want to learn the Way of the Headbutt :)
He would do it very subtle and never got penalized for it. Oh, so you want to clinch? Doink!
This is the weird content I've subscribed for.
Fighting in a competition is very different than defending yourself or someone else. Your there to win, not to look pretty at that point. Can't see can't fight, can't breathe can't fight. This accomplishes both as long as you train and know when to strike. Throat punches work well also.
If they could also Dave Leduc's opinion that would be great.
Thank you
You know when you watch a video and you just say oh yeah I'd get along with these guys haha
I used to play with foam weapons with my super tall friend in high school, i usedmy weapon to bind his up in some way which gave me an opening to launch a headbutt like this into his solar plexus. I thought he was so big that it it would be a nice little distraction but it pretty much dropped him
I'm 100% with you about the guy who throws punches in Jujitsu. It's one thing if we both agreed on it, it's another if he's doing it just to be doing it with no prior agreement.
Seth should’ve brought up his fencing “Back-up Maneuver” from his video a couple days ago and he see if that can be added to the headbutt.
Icy Mike would do great in kudo, they allow headbutts there and they have cool helmets (which let's be honest, it's a big plus)
I remember the Pizza launcher. Remember begging for one for Christmas. Yeah, I'm kinda old...
"LEG MUSSELS"
Clinches are IMO the best position to go for a head but and then elbow IMMEDIATELY before you lose the range.
Mans straight up stole mikes thunder
That look on his face ... priceless
Given the combat sports that do use headbutts - Combat Sambo, Lethwei, Daido Juku - how are headbutts trained in these traditions?
This makes sense.
Sensei Seth throwing reverse punches with the head in the background 😂
2:18 - this frame's perfect lmao
There was that one video with the flying headbutt, where did it go?
Type "hard2hurt flying headbutt" into the search bar
Kudo and lethwei always incorporate strategies for this
“i think of dirty fighting as maiming things” bro what i have scars from being headbutted, ive broken noses with it, and broken teeth like im all for it being a legit technique but i gotta admit its a lil dirty
edit: headbutts can be great for getting a person to stand straighter up too if theyre hunched over to get a takedown but idk how applicable that specific scenario is outside of wrestling
Me:*sees a cut on Mike’s head. 👀*
Mike: “Ok, guys let’s talk about headbutts.”
🤣🤣🤣
I think that the biggest thing about head-butts is that if you mess up you can really mess up and end up giving yourself a concussion
Great!
What's even more exciting is the use of it off the level change in MMA. They may drop their hands for the takedown defense and you'll catch them with the headbutt. I am with Jake, you have to allow it for MMA.
That won't EVER happen in the US.
@@Jay-ho9io ONE rules have been brought to a state, very recently. Baby steps.
Once while my 6’10” pal and I were playing with foam swords we got into a clinch and I performed 2 perfect head butts to his chest which then gave me the opening to break his clinch and cleave him. Ever since then I loved headbutts.
Collab with the king of leithwei, David Leduc. He uses alot of the clinch and dirty work that you touch on in your content
Works great with taller opponents especially when they are squaring up just before they throw their first punch, 9 times out of 10 the fight is finished before it started.We all know when someone is about to swing, I prefer not to give him the opportunity.
Lol at 2:20 Sensi Seth's face 🤣
It was the Sensei Seth lurking for me
What about using your core as well? Used against shorter or opponents that are positioned slightly lower then you? You can still brace your neck and it has more power. Now you still have to monitor overall power to keep from injury but it works the same if hands are tied. Seth does this in the video when hitting the pads.
Seems like a dangerous move, risk smashing your face into his forehead if he tucks his chin.
I always thought of the headbutt as something you just attack the nose with from the clinch
i came here for headbutting advise and left laughing my head off.
