Перевод: standard forward headbutt technique
The Standard Forward Headbutt Technique is executed by tucking the chin to present the hard frontal bone, gripping the opponent's shoulders or head for control, and driving the forehead explosively into the opponent's nose or orbital area. [1] The neck muscles contract isometrically to create a rigid connection between the skull and torso, and the force is generated primarily through the legs and hips driving the body forward. [1],[2] This technique is trained in Lethwei, Krav Maga, and military combatives as a high-damage close-quarters weapon. [2],[3]
This fundamental headbutt technique has been used in combat throughout human history and remains a staple of Lethwei competition in Myanmar, where it is considered a legitimate and celebrated weapon. [1] Military self-defence manuals from the 20th century, including those by William Fairbairn and Rex Applegate, describe the forward headbutt as an essential close-combat tool. [2],[3]

According to Martial Arts Guardian, the key is driving your hip into the technique—it's not just an arm or head movement. You need to switch your hip and move straight through the target to generate real power rather than just a surface-level pop.
Range is critical—you need to be within the correct distance to ensure you don't miss. Martial Arts Guardian emphasizes that knowing you're at the right range is the first and foremost priority before committing to the technique.
Martial Arts Guardian stresses that you should connect with the hard part of your forehead, driving past the surface rather than striking flat or at an angle where only surface contact is made.
Instead of allowing your power to drive backward, Martial Arts Guardian recommends holding your position and driving through the target to ensure the opponent takes the full force of the technique.

Стандартная цепочка подготовки: Assume Fighting Stance → Generate Power → Execute Strike → Recover to Guard.
Стандартные контрприёмы: Block — absorb the strike with a protective guard position / Evasion — move the target out of the strike's path / Counter-Attack — time an offensive response during the recovery phase of the strike.
Распространённые варианты: Standard variation (primary execution of the strike from the most common stance); Power variation (modified mechanics for maximum force generation); Speed variation (minimised telegraph for a faster, harder-to-read attack); Counter variation (timed to exploit the opponent's offensive commitment).
Illegal in modern competition.
Основные ошибки, на которые стоит обратить внимание: Using the crown of the head, which risks compression injury to the cervical spine / Not pulling the opponent into the headbutt — the hand control is essential for impact / Closing the eyes — you must see the specific area of the face you are targeting / Driving from the neck instead of the hips and legs — all the power should come from below.
Standard Forward Headbutt Technique также известен как Mae Zutsuki (Kihon-gata), Straight Headbutt, Forward Butt, Frontal Headbutt.
