We were taught that you dont hit with the fore head but with the top front of your head. Your forehead although looking cool in the movies is the largest collection on nerves in the body and will hurt like a @#$@. Grab the neck bend your knees and trust upwards while pulling down is one way to do a proper headbutt.
You can also come down with your head just make to look down. If you can see what your headbutting when you do it you will get hurt. You can aslo try the drunken monkey headbutt. This is for when you cannot reach their body and is done with a whipping motion making contact with the side of your head (the side of the scalp part of your head.) Good targets are the nose and the chin
For more on that pick up an old copy of Full contact with Thomas Cruse's article on Kali. It shows a poper jkd headbutt and was written when he was still VP of PFS. You can also pick of TC or Voos tapes on JKD. TC has a series with TRS caleld how be a streetfighter in 40 hrs and a pfs streetfighting series available from PFS video. Voo has too many great tape series to even name.
