headbutts

Cranium-first contact moves

Headbutts is the plural of headbutt—a blow delivered with the forehead, typically to an opponent's face or body.

Common in combat sports and street fights, it's often illegal in formal competition: The referee warned him after two headbutts.

As a verb, headbutts means strikes with the head: The goat headbutts anyone who gets too close.
