Attacking with headbutts.
It is clear that the head is a heavy object and a rigid one. You can use the head in the appropriate manner to create rather much damage to different type of targets. Mainly, to the head of the opponent. We can distinct among five areas to attack with. As an attacker, you can direct the upper part of the forehead, two points above the side of the eyes, and at the back, two points that are behind the ear, and above towards the upper part of the skull.
Hitting with a headbutt should be done with momentum, with speed, with recoiling, hitting fast, and continuing to the next phase. It is most efficient to pull the target, to pull the opponent, into the headbutt. Striking forward, send a hitting point and the whole head, in the direction of the target. Lowering the chin downwards. Hitting backwards, send the point towards the target while lifting the chin and arching a bit. One should know the effect of the impact due to the fact of giving a headbutt.
Elbow strike against a group.
The need is to burst forward and pass through a group of people who are posing a danger for yourself. Bursting forward with an elbow strike, a forearm strike forward. The elbow, the forearm, the fist of one hand should be hitting at two points usually. Meaning, two different opponents. The other hand can do the same, or strike one opponent only. With the strike, you are creating an opening that lets you pass through and escape that group of people.
The striking hands are high. Direct the strikes to the necks or chins of the opponents. You should lower your head between your shoulders. With maximum momentum and speed, with a strong strike, hit the group of people. The position of the fists are as usual, around 45 degrees turned. Striking the opponents and with opening your arms pushing the opponents to the sides a bit to enable a larger opening for yourself. As needed, you can add a tactic of retreating halfway and then burst forward towards the opponents.
The retreat is done with a turn. The group thinks you are escaping. They start reacting to chase you. This retreat and return makes some sort of a fake that enables you to surprise the group with the attack towards them. Such a surprise catches them off-guard and enables you to reach maximum effect with your attack.
