One of my coaches back in the days looked more like a young Bill Gates (maybe 170lbs, milk white skin, red hair, soft face, minus the glasses), dude placed second at the Kyokushin world championships and was the bouncer of a local club, assigned to the hard cases when the body building bouncers got into trouble.

[@philmckenna5709]

Exactly! When I was younger, and still "going out on the town", I was always wary of the shorter, wiry or chunky guys. I always figured that they were there because they knew how to scrap. (Not that I was looking for trouble, but y'know, sometimes shit happens when you're young, drunk and daft.)

My friend was a bouncer and he was a Golden glove boxer. He always threw a fake jab or open hand jab to cover their vision and just dip low to come up with a upper cut to the balls and it worked 9/10 times. He did tell me when other bouncers would come over and show videos from that night. This dude tried to rob a bouncer at 7 eleven who happen to be a gold? Or state judo champ. Dude. That was wild!

[@honigdachs.]

Uppercut to the balls, that's fucking hilarious. Having a boxer rip one of those shots between your legs must have felt like living hell. I had a karate instructor who'd slap dudes with a sort of an open handed palm heel in the nuts. They'd go chest to chest on him and he'd just flick it, it was hard to see for bystanders but the guys would crumble.

Awesome to see you spot the head trauma risk and call it. I have about 12 years of judo, and I think even a basic osotogari in a bar tussle could see someone untrained smacking their head on the way down. I think we underestimate how overpowered judo is against people who can't breakfall - gotta take care that we can kick ass when needed without f*cking them up and going down for GBH.

[@tonysmith7874]

I worked as a bar bouncer for years and am a full time police officer now. Deciding to start Judo is something I wish I would have done a hell of a lot sooner in my 20's. Without a doubt an invaluable tool for anyone in security or police work.

This brings back humorous memories of back in college. I was the chief of campus security for dances and events. I was 5'6 and 135 lb and a judo blue - brown belt.

Firstly let me state the following: 1. im a fellow judoka (blackbelt.. used to compete at a national level in my youth) 2. I have at various points worked as door staff and security along with military service. Your video is good - for certain types of situation, I liked the fact you talked about cradling the head - important not to get sued or lose your job. perhaps its the country i live in or the places Ive worked - but any sort of grappling against an unknown is so dangerous, knives are super prevalent here. Still a fan of low kicks/sweeps - and I too would recommend them, but please all - be super careful before taking your eyes off their hands, or getting in body on body contact. Too much ofwhat I know from judo and other grappling leaves one so vulnerable to getting a knife in the side (and its the sides where the armour vest does not cover)

That was great. Loved the story about your security guard days. I do security myself and we actually had a big brawl on Saturday. The dude I dealt with was freshly released from prison and was what I assume was ice. I do MMA, BJJ and wrestling myself, also use to do Judo. Anyways I had to choke him out 4 times to get him out the door. I was the only guy who could take him out and also use my wrestling on the ground with him while outside. While outside the dude had 7 guys stomping and reigning punches on his head and it had zero effect on him as he kept getting up to swing at patrons outside that he attacked. Upside was after having knocked him out 4 times and sticking to him like glue with my wrestling, he decided not to continue trying me and just continued to fight people fist fighting him instead.

Love it! I would definitely be cautious about possibly injuring an intoxicated person with that. I also bounced clubs and bars for a number of years. I'm tallish and have always had a decent build, but I'm not imposing enough to strike instant fear into anyone. My go-to bouncing techniques were a simple, cover crash and duckunder, to take their back and then walk them out in a rear choke or a full-nelson hands gable gripped up high like a neck crank. A lot of times, when I would ask guys to leave if they were bigger than me, they'd usually puff up their chest and say something like; "WTF are you gonna do!?!" Then we would have a starting contest for a little bit, they'd usually do a little shit talking, and then eventually dismiss me and turn around to talk to another patron or lean on the bar, giving me their back... So I'd snatch a rear choke line my elbow up with their chin and choke em the fk out as I "weekend at Bernie's" them out the door. 😂 What a fun job bouncing was back in the day!!!

[@BW022]

I did Judo back in the 1980s and 90s and I've only has to use it twice outside the dojo. The first was pretty close to what was demonstrated. It was a high school fight. Same sweep shown -- no push, but I had his wrist. It wasn't any huge throw, but it was on gravel and he was stunned and his arm peppered in gravel. I stood over him with the implied threat that if he tried to stand, I'd just repeat it. It's trivial in Judo to sweep or throw someone trying to stand -- so easy that actually stop the match if you don't go to the ground with your opponent. After I made it clear I wasn't going to let him stand, and others came over, it fizzled out and ended. My second, was in university at when were needed to remove some drunk guy from a neighbors party. He got violent and make threats before grabbing me. I'm a smaller guy, but threw him using an o-goshi (hip throw). It wasn't hard and it was on carpet, but his leg clipped a chair on the way down. It was over in a second and I held him down until two other guys helped me escort him out while his friend drove him home. He was limping the next day. Yes, it doesn't look harsh when your opponent does a nice controlled break fall, but when concrete, gravel, rocks, chairs, tables, stairs, walls, other people, etc. are in the way and folks don't know how to fall... its surprising how quickly 'minor' sweeps and throws inflict damage.

[@theburns9008]

One that I find myself reaching as a tall guy in the bar is the sumo version of sukuinage. It's an arm scoop throw with one underhook one overhook for when someone tries to double leg you. Dig in the underhook and use it and their momentum to flip them into their back
