Whats the most practical style for a night club doorman? With the goal being restring and removing safely?

Question

This style should be quick easy and fast to use in real life. Not just on a mat or in a ring with a one on one fight

Answer 1

Definatly look into a physical intervention course offered by law enforcement agency or corrections service. They train alot in Aikido and Hapkido styles. They will also teach you the laws around use of force and other skills such as verbal de-escalation and crisis intervention. I took these courses for my work and I found them much more useful for the job than my Judo training. It is a more practical style of training ment specifically for restraining and escorting people. And as a bouncer you are more liable for what happens to someone you put your hands on at work than someone else on the street is.

Answer 2

I'd say a law enforcement tactics class. They will teach compliance holds (small or regular joint locks) and the proper occasions to use them, as well as other signs of eminent problems.

Using force is a complicated situation and has legal ramifications, you MUST know how and when to appropriately use force.

To the other dude down there.

Joint locks work against even the most experienced people, especially drunk ones. Also 90% of a bouncers job had nothing to do with touching anyone. Many MANY times they will simply ask someone to leave and then see them to the door. If you don't think law enforcement tricks work then explain why police officers don't lose? As for more than one person, this can happen but in ANY case, you would have more bouncers. You clearly don't understand the LEGAL ramifications and the level of force concept used in the legal system. 99% of the time the most force you will be legally able to use will be holding.

Answer 3

- Krav Maga, the Israeli special forces style.
- Jiu Jitsu, grappling but not always on the ground. I know a few cops that take this and use it often to do arm bars and stuff. plus you really learn how to read the other guys balance when in close with them.
- Wing Chun Kung-fu, very good for close-in work with slapping/punching/ trapping.

I would not recommend aikido (except maybe kokikai style which is more agressive, but I haven't tried it) It takes for too long to master and is not really practical. It depends way too much on the opponent acting a certain way.

Answer 4

Krav Maga is a vicious discipline, so it could be another choice.

unfortuneatly there isn't any true "safe" way to remove someone whos drunk and disorderly, so it's more of how you use your techniques to subdue your opponent.

Any Martial Art is effective, but it's all in how you train; there isn't one discipline better than another.

Speed, power, and control are all aspects that you'll learn with time and experience and not by any particular Martial Art.

you may want to look at some classes in law enforcement, they may have specialized training that can help more than a a particular Martial Art, for restricting and safe removal of a disorderly patron.

Answer 5

Aikido, Japanese Jiu-Jitsu, Combat Judo, Korean Hwa Rang Do, Chinese Choy Lay Fut Kung Fu, Russian Systema, Hakuno-Kai. Law enforcemnt tactics are only useful against a single opponent and only if you have a partner, and not useful at all if the oponent has any experience or training whatso ever.

Answer 6

Hapkido is good. From what I have read Hsing-I style kung fu is also a bad a** fighting method. It has roots in ancient Chinese war arts. It's philosophy encompasses finishing the enemy as soon as possible. It isn't plausable in mass-fighting to take too much time on one adversary, so it makes sense to apply a more aggressive style of combat to take down your adversary quickly before his or her backup arrives.

Answer 7

I wouldn't say law enforcement tactics because we were taught them in Basic training (I am a Military Police Officer) and it doesn't really work. I would say a good offense is Jeet Kun do, and a good grappling art is brazilian ju jitsu or greco- roman wrestling. most bouncers only know stand up fighting, but in fighting in general, you need to be skilled on the ground and on your feet.

Answer 8

Grandmaster Pan Qing Fu has busted up a couple dozen Chinese gangs to capture their leaders who often swear to not be caught alive. He goes to their hideouts while police wait outside, thrashes the place and then comes out with the kingpin in a come-along jointlock. Kung fu chin na rules!

This isn't some sport stuff or one-on-one fighting joke.
Google him if you want.

Answer 9

You should watch Bas Rutten's self defense courses. He shows a lot of street fight techniques that probably aren't taught at most martial arts schools. If you don't want to pay a lot of money for the videos, you can watch them on youtube.

Answer 10

I'm with the jiu jitsu and kempo dude. But if you can find it Eskrima would be very beneficial since it deals with knives that you may encounter when ur a bouncer.

Check Eskrima out if you can.
