Yes, I am a martial arts coach.

However, only human excrement actually gets into fights. If you get into a fight, there is a 95% chance it is your own fault.

BJJ, MMA. I only grapple nowadays, not that I was ever a competitive fighter.

Do you hang out in areas where you are likely to encounter assholes? Usually your own fault. Do you escalate? Your fault. Do you not de-escalate? Do you not just walk away?

Most fights don't just start with people coming up to you and throwing punches. Usually there is some kind of exchange of words/lead up.

Been training kyokushin for 8 years since I started lifting like 4 years ago. But after I reached 95Kg at 1.89m I never really got to fight even tho I work as a bouncer.

Started Muay Thai about a year ago, loving it. Definitely thought I was tough because I was pretty strong/big, but any real martial art will ego check you hard. I had basically no conditioning and was sucking wind after warmups. Getting your ass handed to you by small guys in sparring is a good lesson.

Once you learn some technique and control, get that cardio up though? All that muscle becomes useful again. All them squats gave me one hell of a teep.

How hard is it to get work as a bouncer for a college student, does it pay well

Aerobic conditioning and basic strength in a moderate repetition range is the foundation for fitness for martial arts.

It might be kinda hard to find an open spot, because being a bouncer is like some weird ass club where a guy that has the current spot finds a replacement and so on. I got the job from my gym buddy and then found my other gym buddy a place at a different club by recommending him. It pays quite well, 1.5x the minimum wage here in Europe. But you also have shitton of opportunities to get extra cash from doing shady shit

been in a dozen or so scraps. I can hang against a pleb. against an actual fighter, I'd probably get fucked up.

Yes but I'm not a mongoloid nigger so i have no need to. I'm literally more likely to be struck by lightning than have to defend myself here.
