STREET FIGHTING DOORMAN Tricks of the Trade 

I learnt this at a very early age, I was vengeful and humbled, great advice..

very good advise.. been caught a few times... lesson learnt

Spot on

peolple will see this and notice hes a scam artist. he scammed all those pussies sitting there, they think theyll be badasses after this "seminar"

@@hugewins9365 wrong. He's an amazing martial artist.

True

You mean beating up drunk people, it aint difficult when you are stone sober 😆

Spot on Gary. Your first line of defence is your brain & mouth. Being able to look after yourself is secondary. Admitting you mangled a guys face is nothing to brag about.

I agree with your comment however I have only worked a fraction of the time you have over the past 6 years in and around London, all of which have been troublesome doors (which to be fair every door is or we wouldn't be there, some worse than others). It seems the guy in the video is encouraging pre-emptive strikes which are appropriate 1% of the time and nowadays it's the last action you want to take as you're more than likely to end up down the Nick. Even over the past few years I have noticed a huge change and rapid increase in weapons being carried by punters, knives being the most common and have come up against it countless times. This video doesn't take into account the situation, nor does it give you any context in which a strike like this would be appropriate. When he walks into the 'pre-emptive strike' he is wide open from either side as the fella he's about to clobber won't be alone and his intent on his approach was clear and easily identifiable by any accompanying party. Walking into a situation like this will end in either one of two ways; the lemon that gets hit will be with a group who will most likely have half a kilo of dust up their hooter and will explode into a brawl, or the doorman will seriously injure the Customer ending in a night in the Cells and repercussions thereafter. I would only ever use a heavy pre-emptive strike like this if there was a clear threat to my team or my own safety or there was a threat of serious harm towards another Customer or member of the public. You have to whey every possible factor and contributing situational circumstance up before deciding to do something like this nowadays. It's never as simple as it's glorified to be in videos like this. One wrong move when intervening in confrontation can cost lives, FACT!

Emperor Barbers well said mate, vigilance is top draw 👏🏻

I’d rather be judged by 12 then carried by 6

@@emperorbarbers3029 People like Dennis Jones, Peter Consterdine, and Geoff Thompson were from the 80s, 90s, and 00s era of violence in the UK. Like you are pointing out, how violence is carried out has changed (e.g. Weapons, and multiple attackers being far more common, it seems). I remember a self protection instructor pointing out that a lot the 'guy standing in front of you screaming their head off in rage' that Geoff And Peter talked about is less common, he said that now it's more common for people to be more subtle, non verbal, and taunting when it comes to their 'pre-fight' ritual. What do you think of that observation? Also now MMA and boxing training, along Weight Lifting have become mainstream and is available in practically in every city. A lot of young men have done some form of physical training. So it seems like Dennis', Peter's and Geoff approach seems to need modifying, to 2020 culture.

@@nopillpill Hi there, I'm not expert on this subject but I have read a couple of Geoff Thompson's books and he says that when you see a weapon the best thing you can do is run. Trying to be a hero against a knife could mean you end up in hospital or worse (and that's if you even see it). I take your point that the world has changed since his heyday though (as a poster above said, the much wider prevalence of street drugs like cocaine is one of the ways it's changed).

How much do you weigh, if you don't mind me asking?.........Ta............

This guy hasn’t a clue he’s talking complete nonsense

Glad you enjoyed it

@@worldofmartialartstelevision Is there more footage you guys can release of him? Other than the ones you already have?

@@williamsmith8790 That's all for now.

@@worldofmartialartstelevision Where do you sell his instructionals

@@williamsmith8790 We used to sell a DVD but that sold out.

brothajack1993 none of this happened

@@1jakedizzle Was going to say , file under > “things that never happened” . Did give me a good chuckle though 😆

Totally agree, a strike like that, shattered hand, game over

Yes but high or dazed can still be super dangerous..........DeEsc works best but sometimes there is no option..............Bless...........

like the other reply i would have to emphasise drunks and drugged up assailants can be extremely unpredictable and very dangerous. so your comment downplays the reality. i worked the door 18 years back and was always very cautious of those under the influence because they can do anything. they are not an easy problem.

@@adamfreeman2348 Nobody says that working the door is a walk in the park. A doorman has to be on high alert all the time. Having said that a drunk is a very easy opponent to deal with, compared to a sober assailant who has had some fighting training. Fortunately for the bouncers, trained fighters esp martial artists don't need to make a scene at the door to prove themselves or show off how good they are. They are much more prudent and civilized for that, or else the bouncers would have a really bad night at the emergency ward.

a maori ,not a mario

I witnessed two doormen get battered leaving their door to split up a fight much further on down the road. Turns out the people fighting were all best mates having a falling out and they turned on the doormen immediately when they intervened.

@@justtango4741 i split up a fight once and they both turned on me kicking my head into the floor.

@@paulinthailand I used to be a cctv operator. Amount of times I've seen doormen make the mistake of leaving their doors to assist and get assaulted is unbelievable. Some people know when security are vulnerable and away from colleagues so will take full advantage.

but have you ever had a real fight? with no referee? the possibility of death?.... you sound idiotic mate

If it lands first on target with power,the untrained man wil be out cold,this is not sport fighting which is totally different.

You cannot block a pre emptive strike from arms length unless your hands are already up,thats why ita a sucker punch,disguised with a verbal cue.

He is an expert of 27 years, so learn what you can.

womatelevision i cannot judge based on his past experience, but from what i can see in this video is what you would learn in the first 6 months of boxing

That's the point; even after 27 years he still relies on the basics and uses them effectively. He has been there and done it, he knows what works and that is what makes it a masterclass.

then shouldn't the fundamentals be just that, the fundamentals. And have the masterclass be something extra? If you can call this a masterclass then you might as well call all beginner boxing classes masterclass

This is not a beginners boxing class. THey're all experienced doormen. They're all learning from a v experienced head doorman. It works for him and he's showing them. Enough said.

He hits lije a traib hes tgexreal deal

Hes a high grade in katate a lifetime practitioner with decades of street violence experience

@@scarred10karate wow his punching techniques is awful he’s just another fake martial artist

@@philiplewis7572 he isnt using karate onviously,its just a boxers overhand punch
