| Muay Thai Muay Thai is commonly referred to as the "science of eight limbs," and is Thailand's national sport. Muay Thai is derived from the hand-to-hand aspect of the ancient Siamese art known as, "Krabi Krabong;" and was once performed for the entertainment of the King of Siam. Muay Thai is known for its distinct rituals, incredible conditioning, devastating round (Thai) kicks and the merciless use of knees and elbows. |

Traditional Thai? Yeah, because basically anything goes. Nobody does it, though.

No headbutts are not legal in Muay Thai fights.

My mistake, then. I was under the impression that anything could be done that wasn't an attack to the front of the kneem but nobody does things like groin attacks, headbutts, etc anyway.

Head butts are great from a street defence perspective!

head-butting is not allowed in modern muay thai although it is part of the muay boran system.lethway the burmese martial art wich is very similar to muay thai is fought without gloves and head-butting is allowed.

angus is correct, muay thai is a modern martial art created from the older thai martial arts.Muay thai has rules and gloves muay boran has neither the reason muay thai as it's know today was created was because to many people were dying in bare knuckle or muay kaard chiek(fighting with bound fist)matches.these matches had few if any rules.it was ok to bite,head-butt and eye gouge.

Anyone ever actually headbutted someone in a self-defense situation?

Zepp, not to speak for Damian but the head-butt can be very effective in a self-defense situation if done correctly.Also the head-butt fits perfect into thai style fighting where the plaum(neck wrestling) is used.Think about this,why are certain techniques banned in boxing and muay thai?i.e bite,eye gouge,rabbit punch and head-butts because they do a great deal of damage to the opponet and tend to have fight ending results.

Ya I've used a headbutt in a street defence situation and it ended the altercation immediately. From my perspective it is THE BEST close range attack available. After that comes eye gouges and elbows and knees for me. Why don't you like it? It doesn't hurt much at all if you use the correct part of your head. Punching someone in the face can break your hand, there's almost always going to be some pain involved in bone on bone contact.
