How to Escort an Aggressive Subject

[@bwkid1]

I have worked as a bouncer for over 28 year's, and I was military then private security before that. I train twice a day, four days a week. And I'm happy to say this is one of the few videos online that is good. The guy obviously knows what he is talking about, as what he is saying is spot on. Great video, thank you very much, I will be looking for more of your video's.

[@Combatprofessor]

Thanks for watching. I appreciate it.

[@akinnon2000]

Took me literally like over an hour to find ONE decent video about how to kick out an angry customer properly.

Thanks for watching.

Thank you so much! I have 10 years of security experience outside of club security, every security experience is different, so I recently just got this new job as a security guard in club security in Hollywood a week ago actually I work tonight I'm nervous as hell but I've work at a club before once every club is different thank you for this video! I appreciate this video! Thank you!

[@Combatprofessor]

My pleasure. I’m glad you liked the material. I actually worked the door again this past weekend for the first time in a long time at a huge St Patrick’s day event and I was nervous as hell too.

Please try to show these same techniques on subjects with size and weight advantage.

This is a far out idea, but, I will put it out there anyhow. If you are a bouncer in a bar, is it possible to throw a net over the person who is totally out of control. This net would be similar to the fish net that the gladiators used in the Roman coliseum. I wonder if any bar has ever come up with this idea? Once the out of control person is netted like a caught fish, then the owner and bouncer can better handle the individual. “Hey, Harry…..grab the net”. Better than getting punched out or bitten.

[@Combatprofessor]

It technically would be assault with a weapon. It would present risks. Airlines played with nooses to attach unruly passengers to seats but there were all sorts of snaring issues. It’s very hard to ensure someone doesn’t he’s stuff broken-like their neck. I’ve put a fire blanket over a junkie once lol

[@charliebates7917]

@@Combatprofessor The likelihood of someone's neck getting caught up in the net and getting strangled like Clayton from Tarzan would be a serious risk that would take a genius engineer to solve

The first thing I thought of was Get Smart and his car gadgets.

This reminds me of an ex-cop I knew. He was once supposed to arrest a junkie and his colleague just tried to handcuff him from an armbar. Up to that point, he wasn´t resisting much, but as soon as he tried to get the cuffs on, the junkie jumped up and dislocated his own arm in the process! He then punched one of the cops real hard with a left hook and started kicking as well... I don´t know what exactly happened thereafter, but apparently one of them used a police baton so hard that it broke that guy's other arm. That still didn´t stop him and he kicked and tried even to bite one of them. That was the point where my acquaintance thought screw it and whacked him on the head with his baton despite having strict rules against doing so. This was the only thing that stopped the junkie (besides shooting him, obviously). He was then sued for excessive use of force along with his colleagues and it eventually ended his career. Likewise, when I was in primary school, I got attacked by the school bully. All it took me to stop the assault was one single strike. I had seen it in a movie prior and somehow did it without any martial training at the time. My open hand connected with his throat and he was only coughing. I got into trouble because of it (they, however, believed me that I had no idea what that strike could do and I didn´t hit hard enough to send him to the hospital). My point is that it´s not necessarily hard to stop a threat, but it´s damn hard to stop a threat without using excessive force. That´s something that triggers me in many self-defense classes. They tend to fall into two categories: 1) martial fantasy which won´t work against someone who doesn´t comply; 2) schools that are obsessed with efficiently eliminating a threat but having no idea what to do, when e.g. a drunken friend acts out...

edi amen

[@danielskipp1]

Great comment. Yeah, it bugs me too. Both 1 and 2 are rife. Inefficient techniques, presumptious techniques, dogma about pain compliance ["fingerlocks always work" lol], habitual deadly force [silat schools cutting throats and breaking necks] etc.

[@LeonidThe90sKid]

Always better to be escorting violent subjects than subjecting escorts to violence.

[@Combatprofessor]

blackruskie very true lol

[@LeonidThe90sKid]

@@Combatprofessor Hey Kevin, i'm a big fan fan of your work and long time subscriber. i want to ask you something... Theoretically speaking, would you be interested in working in videogames again? (the latest i know is splinter cell blacklist). i mean in like a fighting game (probably a lot more mocap, but also as a systema / realism style advisor as well). Again, theoretically speaking :)

[@Combatprofessor]

@@LeonidThe90sKid Thanks so much for walking. As for consultation, I worked on a number of projects after blacklist, including the watchdogs franchise , ghost recon and one game I don't think will see the light of day lol but yes I deeply loved that work. I find it very easy to invest in it deeply and found it hugely rewarding. I would do it anytime.

[@LeonidThe90sKid]

@@Combatprofessor That's great news :) If i ever get funded to do my martial arts project it would be great to work with you. Hopefully you'd still be interested by then. If i don't get funded... then the project will turn into a book (in which your name will be noted as an influence for the systema character).

[@Combatprofessor]

blackruskie very cool. Either way if you ever have any questions feel free to drop me a line. Always happy to help

[@malikraheem3085]

I got into this situation at work... thing is my head turned to shit. And caught him with the bear hug to control the situation. How can I use the skill I've been taught, matter fact what's the best position to be in?

[@Combatprofessor]

Its a big topic. 1-Always stay outside full arms reach. Keep your fence up and keep moving. 2-favor circular motion and angular motion rather than backing up straight. Your need to train this in every communication when things are less stressful so you can reinforce the response and get it ready for more stressful application. 3-Train your vision. Avoid jumping from one focal point to another. Always see the subject. If you look away at something, train yourself to maintain awareness of the subject always and better yet, move and churn away if you must look to make yourself a harder target. 4-Stand off to the frontal angle and never centered in front. If you can, get to the side. Side is better than front angle. If you can move from side to rear angle--rear angle is best of all but each is a step and must be done in sequence usually. Sucker punches can always happen but if you fence, control your distance and flank on angles while working your eyes, you will be much harder to surprise.

[@malikraheem3085]

@@Combatprofessor dealing with stress is alarming enough. Telling yourself to be calm before any dangerous situation doesn't help me. So i move on impulse before any other person gets hurt. I understand, angling yourself to a favorable position where vision isn't compromised is what I'll have to work on. Great stuff. Thanks for the advice. Immensely appreciated

[@Combatprofessor]

daniel sinclair telling yourself to stay calm doesn’t work for anyone. Instead stay mission oriented. Have an a, b and plan-for example-angle and fence at all costs, crash the line and clinch for control if caught in the funnel , hit, push and run if over powered ,

I think this video might be Canadian. Je pense que cette vidéo pourrait être canadienne.
