you can always tell who the sissy-bitch is because he starts showing off his knives…
even moreso if he thinks up cutesy tag lines for each knife.

Actually I prefer a Sjambok. It is a whip-like device made from dried rhino dick and it can whip through a leather coat.
I shit you not.

I have 1 at home actually. Its made from the hide, ours is about 5 feet long. And yes, it fucks shit up, my brother drilled me once as a kid with it, let’s just say it was a damn good thing he is a weakass skinny bitch, otherwise I would have had a lot worse than massive amounts of bruising.

No Patrick Swayze in Road House II.
It looks like a cheap knock off…

First off, find out what the laws are in your state/area regarding the carry of non-lethal weapons while on security duty. Things like OC and batons usually require some kind of certification to be carried in this capacity. Second, find out what the owner/manager of your club allows among the legal things (don’t be surprised if you have to educate them in this matter). Third, decide what you are comfortable with using (if anything).
A lot of the suggestions have been good as far as everyday attire (thick jeans, sturdy boots), but depending on your environment, I would rethink the “small flashlight” suggestion. When I was a bouncer, I carried a 3 cell Maglite for years for a reason, and it wasn’t that I always needed to see in dark places (it helped for that, too, though).
All joking aside, there are some good suggestions in Roadhouse if you are in a similar environment. That is, one big, open, well-lit room where you and your co-workers always have line-of-sight on each other in a bar that’s out in the middle of nowhere.
However, in an urban environment, the worst thing you can do for yourself (as suggested by the movie) is “take it outside”. The second you hit the sidewalk, you are on public property and subject to arrest just like the shithead you are throwing out. Inside, you are on private property at the behest of the owner, and most violence complaints become a civil matter. There are exceptions depending on locality, of course, but you are always better off handling shit inside the club than out of it. Launch that jackass out the door and pull it closed. Don’t take your pride to work.
Oh, but “be nice” is a good rule of thumb anywhere.
Not that you asked, but as far as bitches go, be cool. As a bouncer, you will get groupies. Even the ugly, fat guys get ass, and if you are a young, buff guy than all the more so. Be friendly and all that and get the digits, put them in your pocket and politely excuse yourself. Chances are, she’ll be waiting when the club closes and you’ll hit it after work (that’s how all of my hookups seemed to go, anyway). It is one of the few perks that make up for the hazardous conditions and shitty pay, so take advantage of it by all means, just don’t let it distract you and compromise your safety or your co-workers’.
