Which one, Matsamura-Rohai, or just plain rohai.
I know Matsamura-Rohai, the opening move is to bring your hand shoulder width apart with your fingers pointing down, then you raise them to your shoulders. This symbolizes someone grabbing your wrists, then by raising your hands, you go against the opposing thumb, and break free (which leaves you open to attack anything else at your pleasure)

Or lean in (after grabbing their head) and smack with the head. That opening move can generate a lot of uses.

Yup, it's in there, though not too common. In fact it's in a kata but I can't remember the name of it right now.
I'll let you know...!

Hi (first post on this forum so go easy  )
I believe that a headbut is called "mensuki waza" (head technique) and is a perfectly valid karate technique when researching bunkai/oyo (but has no place in modern kumite) in my book.
In fact Sensei Yahara used a head against his opponent Sensei Mori during a competition and was scored waza-ari after the officials had a discussion (info from Shotokan Karate Magazine).

well, I know nothing about headbut, 'cept that I don't think I'd want to do 'em. I'm just saying welcome to the forum to renketsu. I've browsed around here for a while but I just joined a few days ago. You gotta be careful man, it's addictive, watch yourself!
