Should I have Victor on the podcast!?

It's hilarious to me that guys would mess with a shorter bouncer. Dude, if he's not a big massive guy, you know there's a reason why he's still working that job.

You’re the unluckiest guy to have instigated with Shintaro in his 20s in a crowded bar

As a retired bouncer, Judo skills were invaluable ! Police would show up and the guy wouldn't have a mark on him! But would call and claim he was assaulted ! Did a lot of sweeps and take downs.

Podcast episode!!! Bouncer tales of Shintaro, Victor and big Ron.

LOVED the story at the end!!! This is the kind of extra stuff we want to see. You have a great presence and also your comedic chemistry with Eugene is hilarious.

My friend was a bouncer and he was a Golden glove boxer. He always threw a fake jab or open hand jab to cover their vision and just dip low to come up with a upper cut to the balls and it worked 9/10 times. He did tell me when other bouncers would come over and show videos from that night. This dude tried to rob a bouncer at 7 eleven who happen to be a gold? Or state judo champ. Dude. That was wild!

I started bouncing in Baltimore in 1988. I just retired from bouncing and bartending, hopefully for good this time, last October. Some of the stories are unbelievable, and sometimes hilarious. Thanks for the video.

Awesome to see you spot the head trauma risk and call it. I have about 12 years of judo, and I think even a basic osotogari in a bar tussle could see someone untrained smacking their head on the way down. I think we underestimate how overpowered judo is against people who can't breakfall - gotta take care that we can kick ass when needed without f*cking them up and going down for GBH.

I worked as a bar bouncer for years and am a full time police officer now. Deciding to start Judo is something I wish I would have done a hell of a lot sooner in my 20's. Without a doubt an invaluable tool for anyone in security or police work.

Smaller sized bouncers don't have that big guy intimidation factor, so you better believe they've got some skills.

This brings back humorous memories of back in college. I was the chief of campus security for dances and events. I was 5'6 and 135 lb and a judo blue - brown belt. The bodybuilders would call me when they had crowd control problems at the front door. Too funny!! My backup guy "Dana" was 6'6 and 260 lb... Good guy.

Loved the story at the end, would be cool if we could get more things like this just after the main topic of the video if you've ever got any relevant stories!

Thank you once again! All the best to you!

I am loving these practical judo videos

Best judo channel out there

This is your most entertaining video that I've seen. Thank you.

Previously I thought Shintaro at ballet class was the funniest thing imaginable. Now it's the scene of him goofing around as a bouncer.

Liked and subbed, love your energy, great techniques and great personality and presentation!

Firstly let me state the following: 1. im a fellow judoka (blackbelt.. used to compete at a national level in my youth) 2. I have at various points worked as door staff and security along with military service. Your video is good - for certain types of situation, I liked the fact you talked about cradling the head - important not to get sued or lose your job. perhaps its the country i live in or the places Ive worked - but any sort of grappling against an unknown is so dangerous, knives are super prevalent here. Still a fan of low kicks/sweeps - and I too would recommend them, but please all - be super careful before taking your eyes off their hands, or getting in body on body contact. Too much ofwhat I know from judo and other grappling leaves one so vulnerable to getting a knife in the side (and its the sides where the armour vest does not cover)

That was great. Loved the story about your security guard days. I do security myself and we actually had a big brawl on Saturday. The dude I dealt with was freshly released from prison and was what I assume was ice. I do MMA, BJJ and wrestling myself, also use to do Judo. Anyways I had to choke him out 4 times to get him out the door. I was the only guy who could take him out and also use my wrestling on the ground with him while outside. While outside the dude had 7 guys stomping and reigning punches on his head and it had zero effect on him as he kept getting up to swing at patrons outside that he attacked. Upside was after having knocked him out 4 times and sticking to him like glue with my wrestling, he decided not to continue trying me and just continued to fight people fist fighting him instead.

Huge fan of your content, Sensei Shintaro! I'm an avid BJJ guy and discovered Judo through a Judo black belt in my BJJ gym. Been working with the guy ever since on my standup and loving every minute of it. Love your YT tutorials!

As a guy who worked in event security in my college days, was able to relate to and enjoy your 'bouncer days' stories!

Judo is a no nonsense art which makes it so practical.

I love this channel.

Great to see you back man, I've been away from Judo UKposts for a while now but I remember you faced a stroke around a year or so a go so it's great to see you back sharing awesome Judo insights :)

Love your work

GREAT video! Especially the anecdotes had me crying from laughing :D

The little bit of judo i learned in the Army has served me better than boxing! 😮

Great vid!

Great technique, and awesome story. There's always a Ron!!! :)

You make it look so easy, but that's because you're so skilled

I like this dude's energy. Seems would be fun to hang with. Oh yeah, nice tips. I love judo's versatility...used in hockey fights during playoffs to avoid suspensions (by never throwing a punch) and to tackle dudes twice my size in rugby. Street fights I didn't like getting that close so stuck to striking.

when i used to manage a bar, i would watch your videos sometimes with the guards. Cheers

shin, check this out 🤣🤣

love the stories!

i like this teaching of judo for specific situations😂 and the stories. i've always thought osoto gari was dangerous AF when being thrown with it as uke.

Loved this one 😂❤

I worked club security with a second degree black belt in Judo. Could put guys down in no time! Always had my back! Excellent video!

MORE I WANT MORE!!

Thank you

I can’t get over how effective Judo is. It’s what Kano wanted the art to be. Been years since I practiced with a trained individual, but I still got the skills in my brain and muscles.

Do you have plans to do a video on overhook throws and trips? Taller guy and find myself benefiting from overhooks over fighting for underhooks during standup.

Love the fact you add instruction on not catching a homicide or hurting a stupid drunk more than they deserve, GOOD bouncers do not beat up on their customers for fun!

My goal in Judo is to bring "Shin check this out!" vibes to the mat.

Very good 👍

There was definitely no cradling of heads lol , Great stuff

Hahaha that story contrast with big Ron is like the classic "Lifters vs Fighters" brosciencelife video

Love it! I would definitely be cautious about possibly injuring an intoxicated person with that. I also bounced clubs and bars for a number of years. I'm tallish and have always had a decent build, but I'm not imposing enough to strike instant fear into anyone. My go-to bouncing techniques were a simple, cover crash and duckunder, to take their back and then walk them out in a rear choke or a full-nelson hands gable gripped up high like a neck crank. A lot of times, when I would ask guys to leave if they were bigger than me, they'd usually puff up their chest and say something like; "WTF are you gonna do!?!" Then we would have a starting contest for a little bit, they'd usually do a little shit talking, and then eventually dismiss me and turn around to talk to another patron or lean on the bar, giving me their back... So I'd snatch a rear choke line my elbow up with their chin and choke em the fk out as I "weekend at Bernie's" them out the door. 😂 What a fun job bouncing was back in the day!!!

lol ! Those are epic tales, should air them more!

More bouncer stories please!

good story at the end🙂

One that I find myself reaching as a tall guy in the bar is the sumo version of sukuinage. It's an arm scoop throw with one underhook one overhook for when someone tries to double leg you. Dig in the underhook and use it and their momentum to flip them into their back

My brother and I were bouncers for a number of years (never together unfortunately) and we found the same thing. Judo and hapkido were the best ways to control and escort someone out. If you could get a small joint lock that was always my favorite but judo was always the initial go to

I did Judo back in the 1980s and 90s and I've only has to use it twice outside the dojo. The first was pretty close to what was demonstrated. It was a high school fight. Same sweep shown -- no push, but I had his wrist. It wasn't any huge throw, but it was on gravel and he was stunned and his arm peppered in gravel. I stood over him with the implied threat that if he tried to stand, I'd just repeat it. It's trivial in Judo to sweep or throw someone trying to stand -- so easy that actually stop the match if you don't go to the ground with your opponent. After I made it clear I wasn't going to let him stand, and others came over, it fizzled out and ended. My second, was in university at when were needed to remove some drunk guy from a neighbors party. He got violent and make threats before grabbing me. I'm a smaller guy, but threw him using an o-goshi (hip throw). It wasn't hard and it was on carpet, but his leg clipped a chair on the way down. It was over in a second and I held him down until two other guys helped me escort him out while his friend drove him home. He was limping the next day. Yes, it doesn't look harsh when your opponent does a nice controlled break fall, but when concrete, gravel, rocks, chairs, tables, stairs, walls, other people, etc. are in the way and folks don't know how to fall... its surprising how quickly 'minor' sweeps and throws inflict damage.

A bouncer and knowing judo with ins and outs Perfect fit and dangerous combination for people not behaving

A few years back Blackbelt Magazine ranked Judo the best for Police Law Enforcement.

Many of my friends who never did judo let alone any martial art would always take the mickey out of me saying how useless judo was in a fight. I reminded them that if they, or anyone for that matter has some "unplanned" fall to the concrete pavement, would be not so good for you LOL. Yep you couldn't be so right re what you said.

Do a bouncer series plz

Shintaro is the coolest guy in the world. Greetings from the uk

Working security in my 20s I learned verbal judo is just as valuable as judo/jiujitsu if not more.

We need an instructional featuring Victor and Ron now.

Te guruma ❤

I was a bouncer for 2.5 years. Very seldom did it get physical but when it did, it could get real wild. I only got hit once. Fighting drunks is pretty easy. I usually knew what they were going to do before they did.

Cradling the head is great. My brother was starting a job at a night club and wanted "bouncer specific" techniques. Many of what we came up with had to do with cradling the head while "compressing" the body. These were more like "gake" throws and Irmi Nage from Aikido. Great video. My thanks.

*me, an unarmed security guard, feverishly writing this down*

Foot sweep even works against experienced judoka. You’re attacking their mindset of looking for something fancy.

What does Shintaro say at 1:46 ?? I cannot make it out..

For me it was 100% of the time a koshi Guruma. Block the hook, grab the head and down he goes. More than enough for drunks 😂 But I like the de ashi entrance, I'll like to do it in a similar way in MMA, so it also works against sober trained guys 😉

Dalton: Ask him to walk, be nice. If he won't walk, walk him, but be nice. If you can't walk him, one of the others will help you and you will both be nice. I want you to remember that it's the job, it's nothing personal.

I'm a really big, muscular guy. I often get assaulted by little guys trying to prove how tough they are. I don't want to have to fight. I just enjoy strength training. What do you suggest I do to avoid all these altercations?

this is amazing haha

Ive done the body locks wrk perfectly...

If you can scare off people with size and volume that will save you from injuries and liability.

Respect for Judo, but as former Doorman watch for the Knife when closing distance to attempt throw. My favorite was to have Italian hands in front of me, and then do The Rino with hand sword strike to the trachea simultaneously.

If a bar hires anyone under 5’10 as a bouncer, that’s your signal right there that the guy is a highly trained, in shape mofo and is the last guy you would ever want mess with.

i use to do the exact same foot sweep or o soto in bars ...you never want to do judo moves that you turn your back on them like harai

Just curious how tall are you? I was thinking of being a bouncer and I’m short too.I’m a wrestler

Fo da streetz!

If you see a group of bouncers, and one of them is much shorter, he's probably the most skilled one. Bruce Lee: 1m72 Saenchai: 1m65 Ramon Deckers: 1m72 Volkanowski: 1m68 Ilia topuria: 1m68 ... Buakaw: 1m74 Buakaw is not tall but smashes any size § form of humans :-)

What are the dimensions of your dojo?

Get Victor on the show!

Are there any turn throws that are good for bouncers?

"Get out!!" 😂😅😂

Not getting the logic (sorry) at 1.45 you reference transferring the opponent's weight to the right leg and then sweeping the left. Surely you need to initiate their weight to be (as far as possible) on the leg you are sweeping. Yes or no?

Usually you can take a look at a guy and have a pretty good idea whether or not he’s the one to mess with 😂.

This is kinda like my instructor Tim Mills, Kagukembo , fighting, story telling and a bit of philosophy of things.

I used to barted and we called the bouncers either security or doormen cuz they took care of who gets in ( a lot of trouble was stopped at the door)

As a bouncer I found sasae tsurikomi ashi pretty useful against anyone that wanted to push you or rush you. You don't even need to establish a good grip, they'll basically just trip over your foot, especially the drunks. That or I used hiza guruma once. Pretty much anything where you're using their aggression towards you while you pull them typically works decent. Ogoshi works when they're close or you can time it as they push into you.

Oh no, only inexperienced people don't respect short and/or small bouncers. If a guy is short and/or small and he is still working as a bouncer, you already know that he can fight very very well, or else he wouldn't work as a bouncer!!

You were a bouncer ?

now I both do and do not want to meet Ron

Imagine you start an altercation with an Asian guy and the Asian guy starts thinking about what stance you're on.

great info, but the unpretentious tone earned the Subscribe, Bell, and Like

English is my second language. What do you mean with "bouncer"?

Nice training dummy in the corner... Got one too

By all means!

Ron reminds me of Huel from Breaking Bad XD

nice to see that someone who practises some budó of any kind has also some real experiences. these pure theoretics are sometimes so annoying and deceiving people. wrestlers and judókas are good bouncers, way more prepared and practical than boxers in my opinion...

Shintaro is the Japanese Rodney D…..
