Not saying you are man, and situations like those are when it's alright to whoop on them. Then their boss will give you the job. Saw it on Little House on the Prairie :deal
I did the door for about six years, i ended up with 11 men working for me doing a couple of doors 4 nights a week, hand on heart i can safely say none of my men ever struck a punter and all were gentlemen with a good manner. That being said, the reason why i insisted on this was that i have seen so many arseholes doing the door who couldn't box eggs but are on the roids and seem to be taking a lifetime of frustration out on 10 stone drunks. I have fought on the cobbles about 3 times in my life all late teens early 20's and each time i broke fingers, then knuckles, then a wrist so it is not advisable.
This was just ******ed and irrelevant... What in the **** is this meant to mean? You think all door staff and security guards are rapists and murders? :huh Again, relevance?
Andreas, good story. I never fought on the streets not to protect my hands, but more for avoiding any complication with cops, OR not having my camera equipment damaged (I had my DSLR's with me for whatever reason when events went down). My cameras are worth more to me than my pride, you know what I mean?
That is a good door man. I used to drink at a bar, when I was in my early 20s, that had two ex pro boxers in their early 40s working as security. Never a problem. They were grown up, and knew what they could do, so they approached everything and everybody with the idea of keeping the peace. That same place later hired a 'master' karate teacher and a bunch of his students and they were like the bullies from the Karate Kid movie. They got into several fights every night.
