Your Fight Story

Training

This happened like 4 days ago. I just got a job working as a bouncer at this club in town, just got recruited by some guys I was training with a a Grappling club at my university. Anyway, I had rolled with or trained with all of the guys who work there at some point or other, so they all knew what I was about (3 Years of Muay Thai and BJJ, Wrestled in High School).

Anyway, this particular night, the head guy was’nt there, so we were kind of on our own. A fight breaks out between two chicks and there boyfreinds and the boyfriends boys etc, but no one really knows what to do, and all the guys are sorta looking at me like I should know whats up. Anyway, we just go in and start chucking people off other people, or at least the other guys do. I didnt really have the “Bouncer” thought process and went straight into “MMA” thought process. Alot of people ate knees and right hands and got hiptossed.

Afterwards (we ended up closing the bar it got so ridiculus) the other guys were like “Who was smashing people? No man it wasnt me but someone was handing out asswhoopings who the hell was that?”. I eventually owned up and they just told me not to do it anymore, but all laughed at how it was my first night and the biggest fight any of them had ever seen, and without the head bouncer.

Im not trying to be defensive or anything and it sounds like you got it but for anyone who didn’t. The “bouncer” thought process I was talking about is as follows, dont hurt people as a first instinct, just try to control someone without hurting them, IE submissions are preferable to strikes and just bear-hugging them so they cant get away would be ideal, this isn’t “Road House”.

Aikido would be sort of the ideal martial art for this sort of scenario. The “MMA” thought process being “KO and/or Submit someone ASAP”. And the hip tosses came from the fact that I have been studying Judo recently and it still kind of has a mystique to, so whenever I see something that looks even remotely like a good oppurtunity, I try the hip toss. And I have NO idea who it is in my avatar, but its one HELL of an Omaplata.

as a bouncer I don’t throw punches.never have
as a bar patron then yes I have been in a couple very rare fights.

but on the job the only things I do is things I learned in wrestling and football.

you dont grapple or try to submit someone.
never ever want it to get to the ground or spill out to the street you want control of the person but you dont want to hurt them,its quite touchy.
and ya sometimes they try to make it like road house but your job is to not let the problem escalate.

its alot of talking to calm the person down,holding them and pushing towards the door,I had to fireman’s carry some drunken fools.but mainly you try and talk them out calmly and you dont go grabbing on people unless you have to.

you still can be charged with assualt and battery even though you are on the job.

but if it gets really bad.
I try my hardest not to grab someones head or neck sometimes its the eaisest thing to get ahold of like headlock or my favorite half/full nelsons but again have to be really careful,that whole liability stuff.
sometimes things get out of hand and all you can do is hope for the best and keep thier hands out of the pockets and get them out to the street and shut the door.I have infact hip tossed a few people,and called it an accident.
I try not to anymore but if the yare trying to get away from me and get at someone inside the bar then I have to push them out.
if they happen to hit the ground thats not my fault they must be too drunk.

were in a bad neighborhood so the police are always in the parking lot and when they see someone being forcefully tossed then they usually come right away and start asking questions.

I have honestly only had about 3 or 4 times when I had to actually grab and toss someone though.
we dont have alot of people getting out of hand except for in the parking lot after closing and thats none of our business after they walk out those doors.

usually people yell and scream and if you dont do it back they tend to leave,still yelling and screaming.

“You think your bad,you aint bad you dont know me Fuck you and your Bar”
every single one thats been kicked out says the same thing.

Mostly WMC Muay Thai.

Currently recovering from the injury above and training back up.

Very itchy to have a bash again.

About 9 years ago,in Portugal I got arrested for doing stupid things due to a Pshycotic episode, wich means that I went nuts.

Outside the door of the police station jail, I saw the cops looking at me funny and maybe they just wanted to take the handcufs that were locked behind my back, but I really think that they were preparing to “give me a lesson”.

Three cops in front of me, two of them aproach and I sense danger and just react.
What do I do? I kick one of them in the nuts
with one foot, and has soon has the foot touches the floor, I kick the other one in the nuts with the other: Pow Pow, fast has two finger snaps.

The two cops go down, grabing their nuts (one of them had to be sent to the hospital later) and the third aproached me, baton High, afraid and I was like (adapted from the portuguese)Come on, Come on motherfucker (hands behind my back, handcufed).

At that point I thought the situation Was not gonna get better and Just said, I give up.

Man, the guys kick the shit out of me (two of them at least), I didn´t feel a thing because of the adrenaline, and Wet myself.

The rest is a sad story, but thanks to being crazy and because they felt sorry for me I don´t have a record and didn´t do time (in a jail at least)
This story is true, Hope you enjoyed it.

OK, here’s mine.

About 20 years ago when I was a younger and more testosterone driven person I qualified to be on an international level martial arts team. Over the course of 2 and a half years I saw 13 countries twice and fought over 50 times. A shoulder injury brought an end to that career but I’ve never regretted it.

My story actually happened in the off season between years one and two. I had been home about a week and went back to my regular Dojo for the Saturday morning Black Belt workout.

I had always had a rivalry with another guy at the Dojo. You have all met a guy like this - tall, very good looking, worked as a male stripper etc. he even grew out the Fabio hair. He spent more time preening for the girls at the Dojo than actually learning. This guy was so full of himself it made me wanna puke. Unfortunately for me he was naturally athletic and never had to work nearly as hard as I did to get the same results.

As luck would have it, this guy took a job in another city about 2 hours away right about the time I started training to qualify for the international team. Right before I returned from traveling and competing he moved back. He apparently never asked where I was and no one told him.

The instant he saw me though, it was pretty obvious he still wanted to kick my ass and thought he could do it without much effort. He got his chance too, because the instructor decided that Black Belt workout was going to be nothing but full contact sparring. Since he and I were the only 3rd Degree Black Belts we had to spar each other.

A lot of people from the class before us had stayed to watch the Black Belts, so I had quite an audience. I remember thinking that I had no choice but to win this fight, and win big.

Then the strangest thing happened. I guess I hadn’t realized how much better I had gotten in that year of competition because the whole fight felt like this guy was underwater and I wasn’t. Looking back I realize that he was still pretty much at the level I was when I left, but I had progressed.

I knew every move he was going to make before he made it and I just countered like I had been taught. In the first round I let him chase me a little and I got used to his style by trading a few jabs. In the second round I decided to show him a few new tricks. I faked him into dropping his hands and gave him a bloody nose. Then I faked him into lifting his left elbow and I broke his rib for being stupid. In the third round I was having fun and I decided to humiliate him. I just worked him over until he had no idea where I was coming from next. In the end I slipped under an incredibly slow front two knuckle punch he threw, grabbed him by the throat, and hip threw him to the floor (we didn’t have mats, just a thin carpet over cement).

It took two guys to help him up and take him to the hospital to get his injuries taken care of. He quit the Dojo and never came back.

The whole thing gave me this reputation that was great, but sucked too. It was cool having everyone think I was an incredible bad ass. But I also felt like I always had a target on my back. New guys were always wanting to spar me to try to prove themselves. It got really old, really fast.

I look back on that fight now and realize it was the best one I ever had. I wasn’t nervous or scared or all hyped up like I was in competition. In all honesty I think I had one of those Zen moments or something. It really did feel like I couldn’t make a mistake. But there wasn’t any arrogance or pride in it, just this calm “knowing”. Afterwards I felt euphoric. Not only had I beaten him, but he never scored a single point on me.

I probably fought 25 or 30 times after that in competition and maybe another 50 in local tournaments or sparring at the Dojo. I never got that feeling again. I’ve never felt anything exactly like it since. But when I’m getting ready to do a big lift, or trying something I’ve never done before I remember it. I remember how it made me feel and it always helps me to push myself higher.

Anyway, that’s my story. Strange but true.

Some day if someone asks nice I might tell the story about how I let a drunk pilot kick my ass on purpose. That’s another one for the “strange but true” file.

last summer, I was just sobering up at a friend’s birthday party, and some douche there kept throwing popcorn at me and just being a complete cunt. I was 16 then, and 5’11", 175, and he was 6’3", 260. He was pretty fat though, and I wasn’t real big. I told him I’d punch him in his fat mouth if he did anything else, and he did, so I did. I straddled him on the couch and starting flailing on him. I had never really been in much of a fight before that, and he hit me once under the right eye.

It split and bled like hell, but I still bloodied that fat bastard’s nose. I really don’t care if I lost, I told him I’d make him stop, and I did. people shouldn’t fight about anything that comes and goes, but if they feel it’s the right thing, nobody can argue against someone’s opinion.

Oh yea, because I don’t know how anyone could possibly ignore the massive slight of having popcorn thrown at them. God knows that doesn’t just come and go.

Christ.

Guess I’m in the minority. I think everyone should get into a few fights before turning 18. As long as you don’t do anything too stupid like kick the guy in the head when he’s down, you usually won’t get into trouble. Once you become a legal adult, there are too many consequences to fighting. And you have enough strength that too much can go wrong.

Dude is 16. So hell no you can’t ignore that shit.

You would not have at 16. I sure as hell wouldn’t have.

It’s not until you’re of legal age that you have to suffer such indignities.
