These kind of demo clips depend upon compliance and frozen moments where the crash test dummy waits for whatever is coming, either frozen in fear, stupidity, or just being a good demo model. In the first 30 seconds the teacher sets himself up for a head butt and then just manages to deflect it from someone who is not even trying to act offensively.
