Nightclub Bouncer Sentenced

Sadly, this shows the wrong kind of training for the job. Even if the person is capable of doing the job, it is not always that he/she has the right set of tools to do it properly.

When you are pushed hard and/or long enough you may subsequently react with what you have been trained to do.

Story:
A 30-year-old Brisbane nightclub bouncer has been jailed for seven years for killing a drunken patron with a martial arts style "roundhouse" kick in the head.

The bouncer was manning the door of a Morningside hotel in the early hours of June 14, 2003 when he delivered the fatal kick to a 27-year-old man.

A witness told the court that the bouncer, who had studied martial arts for six years, delivered a swift roundhouse kick to the right side of the patron's head. The patron fell to the ground and later died.
