"This technique is how to get off first with the head butt. Again, you're initiating contact, justifiably. So, if you're in fear of your life, there's multiple opponents, you think there might be weapons present later. Then you need to get out of a volatile situation. So you're here in your prepared stance. This guy is in your face, you're going to initiate with a head butt. Come right into him. Come to a Thai palm clinch, give him the knee to the groin, a knee to the body or to the head if you can get his head down all the way. And then if he comes back up, still palming his neck, come with inner elbow to the head. OK? So, here it is again. Coming in with the head butt, grab, knee, knee, elbow. On the head butt or you want to hit him in the nose if he's approximately your height. If he's much taller you're aiming to the chin. You want to surprise him. That's with the, and use all your body, mechanics to get a lot of force behind the strike. He's in your face. Hey, man I don't want any problems. Bam you're going to come in and nail him. Right away your hands are also protecting yourself if he's throwing any kind of hooks or checking his shoulders you're in there in the coming of the Thai palm clinch. Pulling him down into the knee strike. Taking your half step. Kneeing up high and then if he comes back up, if he goes down you can shove him down to the ground or snap him down or guillotine him. If he comes back up you're going to palm here and follow with a quick elbow. So very quickly, it's one, two, three, four. Four quick strikes to take out that first big attacker, initiating with the head butt."
