Good techs
Just a little bit of info from a past bouncer who is now policing. I worked in the bars for three years, big bars, usually close to 1000 people a night up here in Canada. Being sued is always an issue, breaking up fights is easy because you almost always come from behind, a good sleeper, or come from behind choke hold works best, if the person does not calm down simply apply more pressure till it's nighty night time. When they wake up they are sitting on the ground against the parking meter outside. Also a good two armed chicken wing comes in hand, with their hands in front of you there are all sorts of pain compliance points on the hand and neck, behind the bottom of the ear, corner of the eye, etc. at your disposal. In face to face combat with a large amount of people around (witnesses) the only tool you should use is common sense and trust worthy co-workers who can. yes come from behind that fighter while you argue with him. In three years, and at least 300 plus fights I can honestly say that I threw two punches and one kick, after repeated warnings someone would not let go of my earpiece because we wore wires to communicate with each other. The club I worked in held about 1000 and we usually had 10 guys on. Be careful with chokes though once they calm, immediately let loose, it's all about looks to the crowd, a hold is better than blood, and you gain respect from the crowd and usually the ejected. I've shaken many hands of people I've thrown out. Make sure there are no exceptions to the rules, every one involved go's out the door, see ya next time, friend or foe. Be LOUD. People do listen, especially if they respect you. We kept our guys elevated around the outside of the clubs and had one or two roamers who felt the crowd and watched for loud people cause they are usually fighters, Canadian beer does wonderful things to people, it's referred to Liquid Courage up here. Good luck, it can be lot's of fun and a good place to get digits if ya know what I mean.
