  15.    HOW do you practice a head butt.  Take a board and hit yourself about the 
  16.    head and face.....???? Ouch@!
  17.  
  18. Good question.  Very good question.  In fact it is such a good
  19. question that you'll probably be disappointed in the answer, which
  20. isn't nearly as good: you simply can't practice head-butts very
  21. realistically, unless you are psychopathic enough to experiment on
  22. unwilling partners.
  23.  
  24. That is the whole trouble with head-butts, eye-gouges, knee-kicks,
  25. ankle-bites, and the dreaded Touch-o'-Death [tm].  It is also the
  26. primary reason that I favor the head-punch and the belly-kick.  By
  27. learning to control your limb extension, you can stop these blows at
  28. the surface (I like free-sparring with you!), at 2'' depth (Warning!),
  29. or the full 6-8'' penetration (Die, rat bastard!).
