Lol! I have studied Karate, years ago, but I have never headbutted anybody, not even in play. I figured it would hurt both the Butt’er AND the Butt’ee.

No, you head butt them in the nose, not the forehead.

You want to hit something delicate, not something equally as sturdy.

Nope- not the butt’er IF the butt’er aims for the person’s nose- breaks the nose- nose breaking has enough give in it that the butt’er won’t hurt head too much- people butt other people’s heads- and that aint smart- Ain for soemthign with some give to it- like the nose-

nm- i see someone already gave that advice-

Nope. The crown of the forehead, not the flat forehead itself but just up above it, the rounded part of the skull is one of the hardest areas and biggest concentration of human bone mass. Haven't you ever seen Karate and Kung Fu masters smash a stack of bricks doing this? I have. I studied Karate too. An Okinawan style called Goshin-Do. You know what a ''chicken head'' wrist strike is right? Using the very top part of the wrist? You can break somone's nose very easily doing that one.

It's a highly effective technique, done right. Very popular fighting element in soccer countries. Look up "Glasgow kiss".
