4 of us, against 2 rugby teams. what chaos, and we got away with only a couple of black eyes, a snapped archilles, concussion and various nasty bruises. When it started, I thought the whole situation was wrong... one of the guys that was with us attacked a guy in a bar, got choked and was getting stomped.. I throat chopped the kicker and let him drop and moved in for the choker when he let go...next thing the room fills with rugby players that played in the redneck town I was standing in. Seems the guy I throated was the son of a local gang member.. the fight spilled down the stairs and out into the street.. bad move..the rest that couldnt get in were there.
Though throughout I kept a clear head (as best I could) and that helped against the drunk teams. Turned out that the guy who started it (one of us, and the friend of my friend) was setting it up to watch how good a fighter I was cause I bounce in the city. what a wanker.
TinyTank, bro- I think you were set up man. The gangs here do that, and we look out for it, taking notice of whos who, and who they are with, so that we can remind people that it is our club before shit like that goes down. The bouncers where you were at were not effective in prevention. We cant stop all incidents, but through good coverage and a "one fuck up and your are bounced for life" reputation, punters keep it real and enjoy themselves. You can actually complain to the liquor license providers, such as your local town council and have the inciednt logged, they will be investigated and maybe closed down if it is shown that they acted incompetent to the guidelines of the license. Patrons getting assaulted is grounds for a bar getting reviewed. This is how it is here in NZ, so I imagine similar rules apply, but no-one knows about it. The licensing agencies have more flex than the police.

lol real bouncers never hit someone unless they are defending themselves
Thats right, professionalism means following the rules. 99% of bouncer-subject fights start with drunks not following simple instructions to go home. Or that they cant come in because of their "Intoxication" and they argue the fact, proving that they are.
Bouncers have to be a baby sitter, a shrink, a big brother and a heavy. the complete package. I also know of bouncers who are just thugs with itchy knuckles... goes with the intellect I guess.
The more in control and secure you are of yourself , the harder it is to lose that control. Calm mind, calm body... anxious mind, anxious body. Have a look at them at work..
