Club manager ever beg you to be a bouncer ?

Catch-22
I'm not a very large man. I'm 5'5" and 156 lbs but I'm a well known Karate Master in local Tournament's. Once the Club Management looked into this they have been begging me to be on staff. I'm just afraid it will destroy my fun

No. I've been mistaken for one more than once for reasons that are sometimes logical and often not.
I suspect that many customers think of a bouncer as a tough guy who can win in a one-on-one fight. It was my experience that these types got fired pretty quickly. They are not conducive to a social gathering where most customers just want to have fun.
The best security is an experienced door man who can smell trouble before it gets in the door. Loud and drunk is a bad sign. Deny them entry.
Most trouble is a result of angry drunks. Train your waitresses and bar tenders to spot this before it gets out of hand. Cut them off, have a polite talk with them, or ask them to leave while it can be handled easily.
The good news is that drunks are really, really bad at fighting. Take one step back when they swing at you and they'll fall on the floor.
If things do get violent, don't handle it like a prize fight. Think of the velociraptors in Jurassic Park. Surround the customers with 3 bouncers on all sides, then lunge.
i got asked a couple of times. i shudda done it.

Who in his community is going to come to this site and figure things out? Something doesn't smell right. Just my two cents.
