    Well put dude.

    I have to say that serious bouncers is not my experience from the US though.

    I´ve bounced since I was 16 and love it.

    I became a deputy with Police training at the age 0f 20.

    Good talking to you!

    I´ll check you´r channel out BTW.

  • And again I would like to thank dcraig and stinsens for solid comments . I would offer this thought for the both of you. I am a security specialist. bouncers are commonly simple thugs, whereas the lads and lasses that I work with are professional, calm and educated. We average 45 hours of classroom time a year keeping up with the latest trends in psych, law,ethics and equipment. Yes me and mine are those "rough men" that Orwell speaks of, but we have to train our minds as well

  • @stinsens Ha ha WE are not the old dogs that are a problem. I had a recently had a staff that was made up of mostly very expirienced bouncers who were all about the team until I hired them. Then they either couldn't or woudn't follow instructions worth a shit because they felt like THEY should be in charge. I'm sure you know the type. They had no complaint with they way I was running things, THEY just wanted to be in charge and make more money. GOOD chiefs don't forget how to be GOOD indians.

  • @dcraig1865

    You are absolutely right.

    I took my old comment out and will instead say this:

    I DO have respect for the youngsters in the trade with the right attitude.

    However IMO they stay in their place when it heats up.

    ONE bad comment can set a riot..

    See, old dogs can indeed learn...:)

  • To clarify "y'all.... when he says, "Never hesitate", he means don't be HESISTANT. Big difference. I see many bouncers get so pumped with adrenaline they run right into sucker punches, weapons, or ambushes. Before we approach a situation we need to do 3 things: 1) See where our back up is and / or call for back up. (you may not have a chance to do it later) 2) Walk quickly (don't run unless you see another BOUNCER in trouble) and 3) pre - assess the situation as you approach.

  • @stinsens Give him a break. Yes he sounds young but even a rookie with the right approach to the job is better than a 20 year vet with a piss poor attitude. Right is right, even if it comes from the newest bouncer on the staff. None of us old dogs should forget that.

  • @ElementsRook Thanks for helping spread knowledge through your commits. It is always nice to meet a like minded bouncer brother. Be safe !

  • @dcraig1865 Absolutely, and that call comes with experience. For the initiate in our craft it should be set as a do not start the party, and always work with your team.  In my considered opinion that call can be taught to most within a few months, although there are those that I have worked with that just cant seem to learn to read a person or a crowd. Good solid reliable and loyal, but don't seem to have the knack for it . So we have those work in tandem with a reader. And as always be safe

  • (Part2) And for all of the people that think it is eggotistical or trival for him to put it on here... out of the thousands of people who watched this video, if even 1 person who is or becomes a bouncer stays out of prison for manslaughter, or doesn't get killed at work because of something they first heard on this or other vids like it. AMEN Each one teach one brother.

  • This guy doesn't sound like a very experienced bouncer (as in 10 or more years) but he is a smart bouncer. I have trained bouncers for many years. Some work for decades and still don't get it. Others come into the job with the right idea and learn the right things and become good bouncers in a very short time. What he is saying isn't rocket science, they are the basics of bouncing but they are VERY important. That is the point. GREAT JOB DUDE. I hope you are still bouncing somewhere.
