And this is very bad bouncing…hitting innocent guy…very stupid.
Unfortunately,some bouncers have no morals.
I am a scumbag,but this is idiotic.
Lloret Del Mar also.
i have had knives pulled on me a few times, one time i was shot at, had a chair hit me on my back, and a beer mug across my jaw.
no i never threw a punch, i have choked a few people out before, and one time i got isolated in a one on one situation with a 6’6" 255lb defensive lineman from the local college, where for about 10 minutes i got my ass kicked, until , at one point i began fearing for my life due to the beating i was taking, i jabbed my fingers in his eyes, and my thumb actually went all the way to the knuckle up his nose, that got him off of me, i then jumped on him from behind, and choked him until the police arrived, they had to mace me to get me to let go of him because i had gone a little crazy at that point.
this is all in a days work for the mighty balbo i am sure.
fuck, i wager he could come over here to the states and wipe out entire zip-codes if he woke up cranky.
listen, as an eastern European history buff, i don’t doubt growing up in the Balkans is a hell of a lot tougher than where i had to grow up, a different world no doubt.
but i am more than a little tired of his tough guy attitude. do a search of his posts, i am sure he has the record of making physical threats to people who disagree with him.
so you grew up in eastern Europe, that makes you tough, probably, but so what? take your lily white ass to downtown Baghdad and take that tough talk with you, you might end up on a video on the internet with your head getting slowly sawed off.
i am not saying that from where you come from there is not a different set of “rules” and a different “code” you have to go by to make it, i understand that, i am just tired of your threats, tough talk, etc.
take it somewhere else, i have enjoyed reading your “100kg snatch” thread, and occasionally when you chime in on the benefits of Olympic lifting in various threads, i agree with what you say, and in that respect you have made positive contributions to this board.
but like i said, i have had a little much of the bravado.

i did a fair amount of “security” jobs at bars when i was in college.
the problem i had was i was short, and at 5’7" i could not intimidate anybody, even though i was 260-270lbs, and was lifting really heavy weights.
so, i often had to get into physical confrontations, where as my HUGE buddies, could talk people down frequently.
oh, to the tough guy who said “learn to hit hard”, i never once threw a punch as a “bouncer”.
Go back to your logs and barbells.
ok, well since you made it personal, go fuck yourself.
oh, and please dont fly over to the states and kick my ass for saying that.
grow up.
if you worked in some hell holes where there is very little law and order, fine, do what you have to do.
my philosophy was that if i started throwing punches, all i was was another thug getting into a street-fight with a drunk.
i thought it was better to control a situation rather than be a part of it. that usually meant wrestling them down, immobilizing them and waiting for the rest of the crew to show up and throw them out.
if they tried to come back in, we had off duty police officers stationed outside to arrest them.
the usa is a very litigious society, also we are a country of laws. for what i got paid as a bouncer it was not worth it in no shape or fashion to risk getting sued or put in jail by maiming somebody with a bat or stomping them in the head with my boots.
if that is what makes your world go around, hey, like i said, do what you have to do.
Peace pact?

haha, well done, it would help if i knew what she was saying though.

Balbo… King of the inferiority complex.
Croatia… Where everything is tougher, gnarlier and better.
I honestly don’t know why people keep responding to this guy. All he does is talk about how bad ass he is.
Hanley runs and hides because Balbo’s gonna threathen to kick his ass
Thanks Balbo, although i think i already know a thing or two about hitting hard.
regardless, to everyone else. if the scene is a lot more laid back like i described, i’d def check it out.
i really appriciate everyone’s feedback and stories.

Listen softie,you are the one who THINKS he is the bad-ass.But,in reality ,you are not.You are just a student that got to some solid strenght through training.
Being a bad-ass is whole another level far above you.
Now,its easy trying to provoke me over the net.Thats what keyboard warriors do.

This bravado is what bothers me also,but I cannot leave my own skin.I am also impulsive and not able to be moderate in anything…food, drinks, women, cursing, pornography, intolerance, watching too much football,I am very lazy to do things i hate to do but needs to be done,I hate filling in formulars…

look man, you might be the ultimate badass, and perfect for the ‘mean streets of where ever’. but that’s not where i’m at.
we don’t use bats, clubs, scuba gear, steering wheels, or trebuchets.
i’m not interested in crushing someone’s skull in with my fist. the biggest problem i’ve experiened so far is when guys on the rugby team start grabbing girls on the dance floor. or when drunk guys wanna show frat brothers their ‘cool ufc moves’
i have agreed that popular bars in big cities carry big physical injury risks. my orignal point is that T-Nation members who are in college should look into that, the pay is better than working at mcdonalds, it’s more fun, and the crowds are 99% of college ppl just looking to get drunk and have fun, not drag a fucking at-4 to a club to prove how much of a badass he is.

Well put. I’ve been bouncing on weekends for a bit over a year, enjoy it and it pays well, fringe benefits as others have said. It is a different ballgame working a pretty quiet bar or pub and a big club. Let alone working in a big city with all the shit that comes with it, that’s a whole other level.
And as others have said, size is an issue. I’m not huge, 6 foot, 210 on a good day, but I can get by where I am. But it’s not the Meatpacking District in Manhattan. One of the guys at our company is a kickboxer, has won tournaments in Thailand, could certainly beat the shit out of me and some of our bigger guys I’d bet.
But random drunks are also a lot more likely to start fights or push their luck with him, which isn’t what bar managers or club owners are looking for.

Owned. FTW
We never liked security when I was in school. As far as I could tell, none of our girls did either. But maybe that was because we couldn’t hire our own. The university imposed it on us. Seemed that they were only there to put a lid on our fun.

Infamous, just curious, does the swastika have a different meaning in Croatia? I noticed it on the back Balbo’s hand.
