There aren’t many people that leave the house during the day or at night that intend to get into a street fight. There are some that do but those people are few and far between as the average Joe has no intentions of getting into a physical altercation…EVER.

Even rarer are the life threatening or life changing situations where a person may have to defend themselves because their life is quite literally at risk.

There are those instances when this happens and what happens when you are in a situation that absolutely requires you to fight for your life?

Well, neither www.mixedmartialarts.com nor myself promote street fighting or physical acts of violence in any form or fashion but there are those occasions that arise which simply require that you defend yourself or you may, in fact, lose your life.

These are situations that your safety and your life depends on your knowledge and ability to perform in a self-defense situation…enter Matt Bryers of TRITAC Jiu Jitsu.

When it comes to street fighting and self-defense situations in particular, and this may sound cliché but it is true, there is only one rule: there are no rules. The primary goal of anyone who finds themselves in a self-defense situation is to end the altercation as quickly and safely as possible but a lot of times this is a lot easier said than done.

The attacker could have a variety of advantages including size, strength, or they may even have a weapon. There are many techniques that can be utilized but one of the most underrated yet effective of these techniques is the headbutt.

Check out the video below as we look at three close range headbutts that could quite literally save your life.
