They are also seen from time to time in mixed martial arts. When allowed, heel hooks are far-and-away the most used submissions seen in the events, vastly outnumbering other submission holds in terms of winning-est techniques. Heel Hooks are illegal under IBJJF rules, but allowed in many other grappling events such as the Eddie Bravo Invitational and the Abu Dhabi Submission Wrestling world championships. Used on the feet, not many have put to use effectively yet. So, has the hammer first been proven effective? Yes, it has, as a finishing blow to a grounded opponent. In some groups, this technique is called “nailing shut the coffin” as it usually finishes off the fight. Rather than look for a submission, a fighter will drop a series of hard hammer fists to the head of an already-stunned opponent. We often see it happen when a fighter is in the guard, and looking to land a hard downwards blow, but the real results are when it is used to follow-up on a knockdown. Hammer fists, usually, happen when either one fighter, or both, are on the ground and a good downward angle is made for dropping hammer fists effectively. We don’t often see anyone use hammer fists while on the feet – but spinning back fists are sometimes seen. What have we seen happen? People love to hammer fist in MMA and it works very well, although not everywhere. In mixed martial arts, the gloves also have no padding on the side but hammer fists are totally allowed. ![]() These days, it’s not allowed in boxing since those gloves aren’t padded along the side. Hammer fisting was allowed in boxing hundreds of years ago, when it was part of the old Greek Olympics. But when drunk people surprise one another with them, they’re devastating. So, are head butts fight-ending? It seems they’re not when we’re talking about professional fighters, where they cause a lot of cosmetic damage. Mark Coleman was another wrestler who used head butts a lot but never knocked anyone out with one. Ken Shamrock used head butts to pulverize Royce Gracie’s face in their rematch, but it wasn’t so bad that Gracie couldn’t fight on. In the early UFCs, head butts were legal but it’s never caused a fight to be stopped, even when used on the ground. People aren’t knocked out by head butts very often, if at all. In boxing, head butts happen accidentally all the time but usually, they just cause cuts and bruises. But, in reality, does it work that way? Not so much. In the movies, we see bad guys get knocked out with a head butt by the good guy. Head Butts – Illegal in Modern MMA and Boxing ![]() Some have been proven entirely legitimate, based on what we’ve seen, while others might not be nearly as deadly as movie fight scenes might make them seem. So we have gotten a look at how effective they are in a fight. Luckily for us, and unluckily for those who have fallen victim to them, we have seen a few incidents of these prohibited techniques being used over the years, often against the rules, either in MMA or other sports. That creates an interesting question: How effective are these “illegal” moves in a real fight? Headbutts, groin strikes, eye pokes, biting and stomping a prone opponent, for example, are all banned. That means many things happen in fights that aren’t allowed in certain martial arts.Īlthough it started out as “no-holds-barred”, mixed martial arts has rules today. ![]() But many martial arts are sports and sports have rules while street fights don’t. Many people learn martial arts to learn how to handle themselves in a real fight.
