- I once saw a soccer game where two players got into an argurment. One of
- the players went right up to the other player and head-butted him in the
- face (as if he was going to "head" a soccer ball). The receiver of the
- head-butt got his nose broken and was a bloody mess.

- Contrary to what a previous poster said, head-butting can be very effective
- in an in-close situation, especially if your arms are tied up. A headbutt
- delivered in a soccer-style motion (using the upper forehead) will bust up
- a persons face pretty good, with little risk to the headbutter (except maybe
- if you headbutt too low and cut your forehead on the other guys teeth --
- ouch!).
