Some interesting thoughts from professional bouncers.

I work in a sports/entertainment complex where we have a few nightclubs and I was talking to some bouncers the other night. Here are some of their random thoughts:

  • There is no disadvantage in being big. I noticed that most of them were big guys.
  • There is no disadvantage in being strong.
  • Always put your hands up in a non-threatening/submissive manner first. Today, if you are outside, you are on camera.
  • If it is going to go down, pick your spot. It may be a wall, a curb, a fire hydrant, etc. Use the environment to end the fight.
  • End the fight fast. Anything longer than 15 - 30 seconds is too long.
  • Most traditional martial arts are about as effective as synchronized swimming.
  • Any self defense course today must include the pistol if the law allows it. Its the nature of modern society.
