- It also depends *where* you hit with your head : to hit someone in his
- face is ok, but to hit someones elbow with it wouldn't be very effective :-)
- There are a lot of things you can use your head for, however: striking,
- applying pressure, biting, etc. It's also possible to block an incoming
- round strike with your head (by striking your opponents biceps).
