- What these guys are not saying very clearly is that there is no safe
- way to actually practice head-butts against solid objects. Blows to
- the head cause a trauma to your brain. There is no way to build up a
- resistance to this. The damage does accumulate over time.
-
- A head-butt can be a devastating attack. Learn and practice head-butt
- techniques, but don't practice by whacking your head on anything solid.
