Master: Fight back! Resist the ass! —South Park, "Tweek vs. Craig"
|
A battle Trope. Perhaps to further humiliate the opponent, sometimes, even an ass becomes a viable weapon. So what you do is basically face back, bend your waist forward, and then jump backwards. And make sure your ass lands on the enemy. If you land in their face, that's much better. Or alternatively, do this while your enemy is down. Stomp them with your ass. In videogames, this is often the form taken by the Ground Pound.
Believed to have originated in Japanese Professional Wrestling, where this has been a staple move since at least the late '80's. Thus, this trope may or may not overlap with Wrestler in All of Us.
If you like Toilet Humour (or if you just want to add insult to injury), fart while you're at it. Not guaranteed to happen, though.
Sometimes accompanied with some "cute" "BOING" sound. Occasionally involves something coming OUT of the butt.
This move is usually a basic attack for characters known for having prominent lower bodies.
See also Literal Ass-Kicking. This trope is not related to people who kick ass elsewhere being in Soviet Russia... aside from being clearly named in that manner. Nor is it related to particularly kick-happy donkeys. Can overlap with Cherry Tapping.
Anime and Manga[]
- This seems to be one of Cutey Honey's standard attacks. This appears in the live series too (albeit not in the movie).
- Lampshaded in a Yaoi doujinshi starring her even-more-fictional son:
"But my mom taught me those moves..." |
- There was Izumi/Zoe from Digimon Frontier's Arido Anca (dry hip) attack. Though it never actually worked on anyone.
- Actually, it did work once or twice when it was used for its effect- to make a male enemy dizzily smitten with her for a short time. It's when she tried to use it to actually do damage that she just ended up getting hurt.
- The Brownie mecha from Gun X Sword had butt mounted machine guns.
- As does Astro Boy (2003). It's probably the most joked-about aspect of the series after his short pants.
Astro: "...I have machine guns ... in my butt?" |
- Yusuke of Yu Yu Hakusho absolutely humiliated Kuwabara with one in the first issue of the manga.
- In the first episode of Fushigi Yuugi, Miaka makes use of Wrestler in All of Us to beat some thugs, this being one of the moves she employs.
- In Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, when the Ojamas attack or use many of their spell or trap related support cards, it generally involves the monster or the opponent getting whacked by their rear end(s).
- Not really a combat version... maybe a parody? In Fairy Tail, on the way to stop Erigor from killing the guild masters with an Death Magic playing flute, the heroes' magic wagon jolts, and Lucy slams butt-first into Kageyama's face. His reply? "Can't you go on a diet and slim down that huge rear end?" She is offended.
- Lisanna attempts this against a villain using her Penguin Soul transformation (basically turns her into a giant cartoonish looking, and weighing penguin) to crush him, but he switches places with her brother Elfman at the last second causing her to squash him instead. He is not amused.
- There is an Anime OVA titled Butt Attack Punisher Girl Gotaman. The title should make this example self-evident
- In NEEDLESS, Mio has two of these attacks. "Mio-chan Hip Attack" is the standard variety, and "Mio-chan Hip Stamp" is a Ground Pound.
- Giant Zombie Oars in One Piece tried to crush the Strawhats with his massive behind.
- Heartcatch Pretty Cure has Tsubomi's "Blossom Butt Punch", which debuts in episode 6. Why she decides to call it a "punch" is something that confuses villains, bystanders, and even Tsubomi herself.
- A number of wrestling moves appear in Beck, and this one is performed by Koyuki.
- In one episode of Keroro Gunso, Kururu puts a device on Keroro that causes him to obey all instructions given. He has him use one of these as part of the demonstration.
- A rather painful example showed up in episode 175. Fuyuki, Keroro, and Giroro shrank so they can swim in a kiddie pool. Everything went fine, until Natsumi and Koyuki showed up and jumped in the pool. Fuyuki and Keroro got tossed around and generally battered...but Giroro? Natsumi ended up sitting on him, complete with crunching sounds and poor Giroro groaning in pain. Ouch.

- Fat Albert.
- Drunken Master, a 1978 film featuring Jackie Chan. In the climactic battle, Jackie uses this method as a part of the Technique of the Drunken Miss Ho, and attempts to use a full-drop version of this attack as a finishing move. He misses (due to a combination of both Calling His Attack and the target still being fast enough to get out of the way), and promptly learns the downside to this technique.
Folklore[]
- The drop-bear, an Australian joke "cryptid" on par with jackalopes, is said to resemble a carnivorous koala with a large posterior. It's alleged to drop butt-first from treetops onto unsuspecting targets, fatally invoking this Trope on its prey.
Literature[]

Live-Action TV[]
- Diana from the Metal Heroes show Spielban with her "Diana Hip Press" attack. This consisted of basically whacking an enemy with her backside. Apparently Diana's butt was made of stronger stuff than any of her weapons as it always was a 1 Hit KO and never failed. She even called the attack.
- A recent Eminem music video features a "cameo" of Kim Kardashian doing this to her date by inflating her ass.
- Similarly, Fergie does this telekinetically in the "Pump It" video. You know how telekinetics sometimes use hand motions to "throw" or "shove" someone? Fergie does it with her butt. (Or her hair, or her breasts....)
- In the All That sketch LAMOS, Mega Butt has a similar power to Kim Kardashian. And Chelsea Brummet was pretty darn curvy to begin with.
- Star Trek's own Captain Kirk is known for throwing himself into the melee... literally. In "Journey To Babel", he even launches himself off a corridor wall in order to land butt-first on his attacker ( see it at 0:18). The best part? That's no stunt double - it's William Shatner himself pulling off that maneuver!
- The old G4 game review show Judgement Day had a segment reviewing game hardware and accessories, but instead of hosts Victor Lucas or Tommy Tallarico, one of several buxom "Hardware Girls" (Their name, not mine) would fool around with the technology. Part of the gimmick of this segment is that the Hardware Girl of the day would wear a shirt referencing a video game term or trope but always written as a Double Entendre. One of the shirts simply read "Be Nice or I'll Butt Bounce You".
- Blink-and-you'll-miss-it example in the Doctor Who episode Day of the Moon where, during their shootout with the Silence, River gives the Doctor a, ahem, shove towards the TARDIS.
Music[]
- The novelty song "Little Gomez", about the singer's rather randy chihuahua, ends in tragedy when the determined little dog encounters a female St. Bernard, which apparently gets bored in mid-liaison. And sits down.
Professional Wrestling[]
- As noted above, the flying hip attack has long been a staple move in Japanese Professional Wrestling, although it's interesting to note that it tends to show up a lot more in women's matches than in men's...
- World Class wrestler "Iceman" King Parsons used the flying hip attack as a finisher, known sometimes as the "Rumper Stumper" and to at least one announcer as the "Butt Butt" (as opposed to a Head Butt).
- The "Butt Butt" has also been used by Colt Cabana; while he was in Ring of Honor, it was known as the "Flying Asshole".
- Goldust a.k.a. Dustin Rhodes uses a flying hip attack on an opponent coming off the ropes from time to time. Being that Goldust is often portrayed as an extremely bizarre Camp Gay, it fits him.
- Billy Gunn AKA Mr. Ass with the flameasser. In the same boat, there's also Rikishi, who not only uses his ass a lot, he's got to support his ass attacks.
- Rikishi's Stink Face move was also later taken up by Torrie Wilson for a while.
- And then, curiously enough, by Kelly Kelly. She started doing it shortly after Torrie did it to her in a sort of Passing the Torch moment.
- Rikishi's twin sons, who wrestle in WWE as Jimmy and Jey Uso, will use this attack on occasion as well, usually in tandem to opponents in opposite corners.
- Umaga would utilize a version where instead of rubbing his backside on the opponent he will do a more impactful version where he, on an opponent in position, would run at them and turn so his rear end hits their face at high impact. The Usos have adopted this to their arsenal as a tribute to "Uncle Eddie" (Umaga's real name was Eddie) despite Umaga being more built like Rikishi and the Usos being slimmer. It would later be more fittingly adopted by Solo Sikoa who has based his moveset more on Umaga and even resembles Umaga physically more than the Usos.
- Rikishi's Stink Face move was also later taken up by Torrie Wilson for a while.
- Before Rikishi there was Yokozuna who had even more girth and had no one kick out of his Banzai Drop. Rikishi would also adopt this as an alternate finisher to the Rikishi Driver called the Rump Shaker. Though this was countered more than and even kicked out of more than Yokozuna's version.
- An example of Banzai Drop. Banzai Drop at Wrestlemania 11
- In one of the SNES WWF games, Yokozuna had a super move where he leaped off the turnbuckle and landed ass first in the ring, causing an earthquake that damaged every other wrestler there.
- An example of Banzai Drop. Banzai Drop at Wrestlemania 11
- The wrestler Junkyard Dog used the Butt Butt as one of his regular moves.
- Umaga was fond of charging butt first into opponents with their head on the bottom turnbuckle. The Usos have said they do this attack from time to time as a tribute to their "Uncle Eddie".
- The Seated Senton Bomb/Splash is the "butt stomp" variant of this Trope. Few wresters use this variant because of the shock on the spinal column this causes (Not to mention what landing ass first on an opponent from a distance would do to said opponent, should the splash-er not land just so), but it was the Finishing Move of the late John "Earthquake/Avalanche/Shark/Golga" Tenta.
- CHIKARA's Los Ice Creams use a version of this they call El Asesino.
- Former WWE Diva Molly Holly used an impressive flipping variation of this attack, dubbed the "Molly-Go-Round", as her finisher, using her large backside and to full effect.
- The Big Show on occasion.
- Kevin Nash used to throw his opponent into the corner of the ring then slam his hip into their midsection. Not quite the same, but occasionally he would over-rotate and look like he was slamming his ass into their torso.
- Naomi Knight's signature move, called the Rear View.
- Doink The Clown's finisher, the Whoopee Cushion, complete with fart sound.
- Andre The Giant in his later carrier due to his gigantism would literally sit on his opponent, though this was to cover his immobility and give him a chance to rest. He infamously one time sat on Randy Savage for a prolonged amount of time.
- While Andre was a face in one match against The Iron Sheik Andre did the usual rope toss and turned around and bent over making the Iron Sheik run smack into Andre's backside.
- Akeem The African Dream would do similar, though more for general offense reasons compared to Andre requiring it. While Akeem was also a large man at least he wasn't as big as Andre.
- In a brawl between Charlotte Flair and Sasha Banks in Smackdown Charlotte who is rather tall for the typical female wrestler in the company while Sasha is on the smaller end moved her pelvis forward while Sasha had Charlotte by her neck and then Charlotte proceeded to move her pelvis back rather strongly making her backside hit Sasha's midsection so Sasha let's go.
- A backfire happened in an episode of Raw during a match between Alexa Bliss and Bayley where Asuka tried to use her "hip attack" against one of Bailey's "Damage CTRL" allies but she moved out the way and Asuka hit the steel steps butt first at high impact.
Tabletop Games[]
- In D&D, a Monk can use every part of his body for an unarmed attack, with no off-hand penalty. Yes, even his ass. And at high levels, his ass is considered both lawful and adamantine. Now that's a hard ass.

- Yuri has also gained a Super Special Move where she puts her butt to good use.
- Kisarah Westfield uses three versions in GANGAN/Aggressors of Dark Kombat - one generic horizontal back-turned, butt-first leap, one jumping reverse somersault attack with rear impact "Hip Bazooka!", and one throw during which she leaps high into the air and lands on the opponent's face "Supreme Inferno!" The last one was re-tooled as a somewhat less suggestive follow-up to her Cutie Rainbow for her return in Neo-Geo Battle Coliseum.
- Carol Stanzack of Savage Reign uses a butt attack whenever she travels into the background of a stage.
- Ellis of Battle Arena Toshinden uses a butt strike as part of her HK attack. The same strike is used during her desperation move in 2 and 3 and also, she can use an aerial butt drop against a downed opponent, but only in 2.
- In Toshinden Subaru, having removed the original cast, the strike was given to Puella as a running attack, and the drop went to Fen, who uses it in both his throw and downed attack.

- Chiaki Ichinomiya of the obscure PSX fighting game Genei Tougi: Shadow Struggle and its sequel Critical Blow has a butt attack as part of her fighting style.
- Victor von Gerdenheim from Darkstalkers uses his ass rather than kicking when up-close. And he uses his ass to throw the enemy, not just smashing them on the face. He even has a grab where he squeezes his opponent between his cheeks. Note that whenever Victor attacks, he has the ability to make the attacking body part grow roughly three times its size. He does it in this case, too.

- Flinging herself butt-first at her opponent forms the basis of Mika Nanakawa aka Rainbow Mika's signature moves (Shooting Peach/Flying Peach/Rainbow Hip Rush) in Street Fighter Alpha 3. She even rubs her sore posterior after any of these moves connect...
- E.Honda also wields butt-based attacks in most of his Street Fighter appearances... most notably his down-up-kick move, which basically has him jump high into the air and smash down on the enemy butt-first. But he also has a special throw that consists of him grabbing the enemy, smashing him to the ground, and then butt-smashing him while he's down. Both are highly damaging. Presumably due to E.Honda weighting more than most cars.
- Street Fighter III's Hugo's crouching Roundhouse is a none too pleasant-looking version.
- Though she doesn't have one in the main series, Sakura sports two in Pocket Fighter. In one she catches them in the air and lands sitting on their head. In the second she, in Bunny Girl attire, butt smacks them away.
- 'Pictured above: In Street Fighter V, newcomer Laura Matsuda has an aerial attack where she just simply sticks her rear end forward, kind of funny looking when she gets Anti-Aired.
- Mika herself takes this Up to Eleven in her Critical Art. Which has her and her partner, Nadeshiko, pretty much getting the rival "trapped" between their butts as they slam him or her together to the ground. It has to be seen to be believed.
- In the Touhou fighting game spinoffs Scarlet Weather Rhapsody and Hisoutensoku, Marisa Kirisame has a charge attack in the form of launching herself butt-first at the enemy. It has surprisingly good range and damage, and provides immunity to projectiles, raising questions about just what Marisa makes her bloomers out of.
- Hitting his opponent with his butt is the third part of Luigi's one-two-three combo in Super Smash Bros Melee and Brawl. In the Mario series in general, this is called a "Ground Pound" when performed vertically.
- Also in the Super Smash Bros. series: Princess Peach's Peach Bomber side special.
- And her back aerial, and her back throw, and her down throw. Plus her ledge get-up attack.
- Though the Peach Bomber is the only one of those moves that explodes on impact.
- Donkey Kong uses one to return to the stage when hanging.
- In Super Smash Bros Brawl, Wario also has a number of ass-based attacks... including his back and down throws. And yes, that IS quite a few SSBB characters - it's been joked that the game also needs a 'Butt Attack' sticker, in addition to the usual Arm/Foot/Head Attack stickers.
- Actually, data mining shows that the game considers Butt to be a seperate attack type. Most likely the effect was merged with Body later in development; other unused types include Elbow and Knee.
- And in Mario Strikers Charged, Wario's deke attack is a butt stomp. "BUTT SMASH!"
- Just to emphasise how many fighters use this method, both Bowser and Yoshi's Down B attacks are a Ground Pound.
- Also in the Super Smash Bros. series: Princess Peach's Peach Bomber side special.
- Earthquake's signature move in Samurai Shodown.
- Wan-Fu (big Chinese fighter) and Cham Cham (catgirl) also have this as an option. Cham Cham limits hers to a flying drop, while Wan-Fu can throw it out while standing on the ground as well.
- Cyber Woo in King of the Monsters 2 has a Piston Punch Version of this.
- Princess Peach in Super Princess Peach when she does her own variation of the sliding attack, while the Mario brothers simply sit down and slide Peach instead turns around so her butt is facing the enemies she makes contact with while sliding. Has the same effect.

- Bloody Roar also has Greg who uses this in his Gorilla form.
- Seems to be a Nonomura family trait. Mitsuko, Alice, and Uriko all have butt-bump attacks in their combos.
- Cassandra does this for several standard attacks and her Critical Finish in Soul Calibur IV. In 3 and 4, a butt-first leap is her longest ranged move. Her butt strikes also actually use the "kick" command.

- Voldo also has a ass-attack in Soul Calibur IV. It is much more horrifying.
- The Succubus' "Hip Attack" in Disgaea.
- The Final Boss Mondo in the game Slaughter Sport has a butt-drop move that can be a one-shot kill, making it the most powerful move in the game. Spamming these attacks to make him bounce on his ass back and forth across the arena is an easy way to cheap your opponent in versus mode.
- Amy Rose can dash into her opponents rear-first in Sonic the Fighters and Sonic Battle. In the latter, the robot Emerl can copy her.
- In an almost example, Tails in older games could attack enemies with his dual namesakes.
- Cream also has one of these in Sonic Advance.
- In an almost example, Tails in older games could attack enemies with his dual namesakes.
- In Pokémon Battle Revolution, this is Lopunny's standard physical attack animation. Of particular note is the move Return, which causes hearts to burst out on impact...
- As with the Luigi example above, Link's Goron form in The Legend of Zelda Majoras Mask has a punch-punch-butt combination. As a Goron, Link has the excuse of being incredibly strong, weighing a ton, and literally having a rock-hard backside.
- Tina Armstrong has a flying backwards butt rush as part of her wrestling repertoire. As she's a longtime Dead or Alive contender, there are worse asses than hers to be hit with.

- Marie Rose also has a rear end attack, but doesn't have the impact others do due to her size.
- Fiona's forward + C attack in Arcana Heart.
- Some of the larger fighters in the Tekken series allow for this too. Notably, anyone named Jack can do this, as well as Kuma, Panda (basically same moves) and Ganryu. All of them used to share the same movesets, but eventually diversified.
- Lili gains a bump version as an item move. In Tag Tournament 2 all the girls aside from Leo gain access to this item for the attack.
- Anna Williams finally puts her money where her...butt is, after seven games of simply shaking her butt at the enemy in Tekken 6, when her "Aphrodite's Scorn" (f+2+3 or 6+RP+LK, if you're weird like that) move makes a debut. Thankfully, it's her standard/most powerful combo ender, so there's a good excuse to use it frequently.
- Shun Di from Virtua Fighter.
- As well as Jeffery.
- Sarah too, as of Final Showdown.
- One of Xiaomu's combos in Endless Frontier ends with this.
- In The House of the Dead 4's fourth chapter, the boss, Temperance, is an oversized obese zombie who is a few stories tall.

- Many of Honey's moves in Fighting Vipers use her butt, including one that involves a running start.
- Her possible boyfriend Sanman also has at least one.

- And recently inverted in X2, which has a character based entirely around Literal Ass-Kicking.

- Legaia 2: Duel Saga has Sharon's Peach Surprise combo ending with one.
- The gorilla boss uses one as well.
- Jessica's "Hip Drop" attack in Dragon Quest VIII uses... the reverse part of her hips.

- Some enemies, such as the Fat Bats, also use it.
- In Ready 2 Rumble Boxing: Round Two, Mama Tua used her massive backside as one of her special attacks.

- Makoto Nanaya of Blaz Blue: Continuum Shift does this as her back throw, which has knocking her opponent on their back and then jumping and landing on them butt-first. She also has a variant in her jumping 2C attack (although she's covering her butt with her tail when performing it).
- Rouge the Bat in Sonic Adventure 2's multiplayer mode has the Hip Drop move, which involves butt-stomping the ground so hard it causes an earthquake that stuns her opponent, even from all the way across the map.

- Gretchen from Knights Contract has a finisher where she shrinks every enemy on screen and sits on them.
- Pooly, one of the fighters from the PSX Fighting/Adventure Abalaburn uses this as his weak close-range combo. His Acrofatic status makes it rather dangerous for its type.

- On The Venture Brothers episode "Ghosts of the Sargasso", bodyguard Brock Samson performs a much more disturbing and violent variant of this move when a pair of professional "ghost pirates" (actually guys who make a living pulling Scooby-Doo hoaxes) attempt to perform an, ahem... "cavity search". Suffice it to say that one of the Mooks in question doesn't get his hand back until he is dead. Brock, it should be noted, is in shackles the entire time... you figure it out.
Brock: "Hey buddy... I'd kill for one of those right about now." |
- This is the preferred tactic of the Super Duper Sumos.

Ring Announcer: And it looks like Loaf is going to administer a taste of the awful... the INSIDIOUS... FLYING BUTT PLIERS! |
- In the SpongeBob SquarePants episode Krusty Krushers SpongeBob and Patrick's opponents are done in by Patrick's Iron Buns.
- PJ in Goof Troop pretty much made a career out of it... for one episode. Max is getting his ass pounded by a bully named Tooth, when PJ accidentally kicks Tooth's ass with his ass. They then finagle their way onto the "school safety squad", an anti-bullying patrol otherwise staffed by skinny geeks. They soon uncover a conspiracy planned by the chief of the squad... Ladies and gentlemen, I give you "Lethal Goofin'"!
- Celebrity Deathmatch had an episode in which Jennifer Lopez used her cybernetically enhanced ass to battle Dolly Parton's cybernetically enhanced boobs. Another episode featured a battle between Lucy Lawless and Calista Flockhart that ended with Lucy trapping Calista's head between her buttcheeks.
- Actually, she unbirthed Calista by swallowing her entirely into her vagina, and later gave birth to her, claiming Calista as her own child.
- In Avatar: The Last Airbender, when Aang is posing as a Fire Nation Academy student, a bully picks a fight with him. The bully is obviously an inexperienced fighter and Aang is the freaking Avatar. Aang simply avoids all his attacks, and for his final move slips behind him and uses his own ass to lightly bump his opponent in the ass, nearing making the bully fall over. Also note that the bully was a firebender and put it to use, while Aang didn't even have to (and couldn't for cover reasons) do the same. What a loser.
- Not quite a battle example but in Aladdin Jafar bumps Prince Ali out of the way with his butt. He's so skinny it really shouldn't work, but it does.
- Also not a "battle": In Ka Blam!!, June does this constantly to Henry (surprisingly it works, due to June being skinny as a rail)
- Princess Candy from Dave the Barbarian practices Tae Kwon Don't ("Not as useful as Tae Kwon Do, but it's great for the glutes") which appears to use this as it's primary technique, because every time she tries to use it in a fight, she launches herself at her opponent, ass first.
- The season 2 opening for The Superhero Squad Show has Wolverine doing it to a Sentinel. See it here.
- An episode of Dexter's Laboratory has Dexter's dad hitting his son with his butt to push him into the pool.
- In South Park, when Cartman is teaching Craig how to fight (sumo) he tosses Craig across the room using "the power of the ass".
- In the My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic "Sonic Rainboom", Rarity rump-bumps Twilight Sparkle while trying to convince her to try a spell that will let her accompany Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy to the Best Young Fliers' Competition in Cloudsdale.
- Near the beginning of "Party of One", Pinkie Pie accidentally hip-checks Fluttershy and Twilight Sparkle into the walls of her apartment with her overly-enthusiastic dancing. Near the end, Rainbow Dash tries to get a bummed-out and angry Pinkie Pie to come with her to Sweet Apple Acres. Pinkie Pie refuses, and when Rainbow Dash tries to force her, Pinkie Pie sits on her head.
- At the beginning of "The Last Roundup" Derpy Hooves knocks down one of the Town Hall's support beams and later breaks the floor, with her butt.
- Done by Betty Boop to two other woman in her "I Wanna Be Loved By You" musical number in the animated special, "The Romance of Betty Boop".
- The DeeDee twins do this to Dana in Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker when they are dancing with Terry do get her out of the way so they can gang up on him.
- In one episode of Phineas and Ferb, during a flashback to a soccer game, Baljeet and Mishti both use this to bounce the other out of the way.
Real Life[]
- Australia presents... The Wombat! A cute, fuzzy little creature, similar to the koala, (only it lives underground), that kills stuff with its butt. When pursued by a predator down one of its extensive burrows, it can use its rather solid posterior to crush the poor creature's head against the walls of the burrow.
- In Brazil, there's apparently a "martial art" (or rather, "somewhat combative thing people do") called samba duro or "hard samba." It's done (as the name implies) during samba dances, and the practitioner (usually a woman) hits her opponent with her bunda (and hips) as she dances. It's mostly a slightly catty, aggressively-passive-aggressive way to punish people for cutting in on one's partner or doing other rude things. Some probably find this Fetish Fuel.
- This evolved in 2010 into the Surra de Bunda (lit. ass fighting) dance move, in which the dancer literally whacks a guy in the face with her butt. It's kind of become a meme.
- Happens quite often in roller derby. A 100lb girl can take out someone twice her size by sitting on the other girl's thigh.
- And one of the classic maneuvres of roller derby is the booty block. Performed with impressive stopping power, it's more or less exactly what it sounds like.
- Some martial arts throws use pushing one's hips against the opponent as a means of gaining leverage for the throw.
- Kickboxer and MMA fighter Mark Hunt once attacked his opponent with what Randy Couture dubbed "The Atomic Butt Drop". This was against current UFC fighter, Wanderlei Silva.
- This is a common way to get out of being held from behind in several martial arts.
- It can be more effective than intended as well. Depending on the heights of the two people in question, you could unintentionally slam a hip or tailbone into your opponent's groin.
- Hip-checking in ice hockey.
- Particularly egregious examples of hip-checking used frequently by players who are known to hip-check are occasionally referred to as "the flying ass".
- Mundane Utility; if your arms are full and you need to open a door, using the butt will let you keep your balance better than using your foot.
