How to use a Headbutt to the Nose in Self-Defense Situations

This page focuses on how to use a headbutt to the nose in self-defense situations (i.e. rape prevention). The instructional videos below provide a variety of different ways that headbutts are used in self-defense.

Many of these self-defense targets (i.e. groin or eyes) are illegal in martial arts sparring competitions. However, they are useful in self-defense situations.

These attacks on vital areas should only be used in life or death situations because you can severely injure your opponent or training partner. Moreover, these techniques should only be practiced under the careful supervision of a trained martial arts instructor.
