After you have learned the Headbutt to the Side, you should try the variation that's taught in this video. This is a less telegraphing variation that often works better in a self-defense or sparring situation.

The videos on this YouTube channel are NOT a replacement for actual instruction. They do not teach techniques, but instead isolate and fix problems within the technique or its individual components. The videos are designed to help the student who has already learned the technique under the instruction of a qualified instructor.
Important Note: These videos are specific to the techniques and curriculum taught to the students at our facility. Students from other Krav Maga schools and organizations are more than welcome to watch and use these videos and we hope they find them useful! However, variations may be taught that are different from the techniques taught at other Krav Maga locations. This doesn't mean one variation is wrong or the other is right. They are just variations...plain and simple. The most important question for any technique or defense should be this: Does it work for the individual who is performing it? As long as it does, then the technique or variation has merit, regardless of where it comes from! That's the number one principle that we emphasize at our school.

"How you doing? This is Randall with KravMagaTraining.com. In this video I'm going to cover the headbutt from the side and I'm going to show a slight tweak or variation to it so that way you don't telegraph your headbutt or intentions as much.
Now here's what I'm referring to is the standard headbutt to the side is really just like the headbutt forward or the forward headbutt in that you get your head lower than their head. Turn look at them. Tuck your chin down. Drive your head in. That's the general idea of it. If you want full details on it I have another video called forward headbutt that covers all that.
But anyways. What I'm going to show in this video is just how to, like I said, modify it a little bit so you don't telegraph it. So here's the problem with the headbutt to the side, how it's normally taught is that when you change your levels and then you turn your head and completely look at the person like this and drive it into them, it's effective but what I've found is that when you try to do this when you're sparring is that the person knows that what you're trying to go for and the reason why is because you're basically doing this. Change your levels so they know what's going to happen. What I like to do is not turn my head completely to the side. What I mean by that is I'll turn it at a slight angle like this and then I'll use my eyes, the corner of my eyes, my peripheral vision to still maintain contact. The reason why I do this is because it's a little bit more subtle in that instead of turning and looking like this so he knows what's going to happen, I, when I do this, it's, it's a little more subtle. And a lot of times I'll use this headbutt when I'm doing weapons defenses. Like if my hands are occupied trying to take away a knife or a stick or a gun, this comes in handy because I can keep my eyes down here. And while we're too busy screwing around fighting for the weapon, I can drive that headbutt in. So if, I don't want my head completely forward because then I can't see the target. There's a good chance I'm going to miss. I'm going to hit with my temple. But at the same time, not completely like this. So it's a little bit of both. I'm kind of turned a little bit at an angle. Using my peripheral vision. And then after that it's all the same technique. Like I said, if you don't know all the details to a good headbutt check out my other headbutt video. Forward headbutt. It covers all those details..."
