Canada -- The citizens of Vancouver should really be proud they have 32-year-old Bert Easterbrook on their team. The solid karate expert, bouncer and photographer were among they very few who dared to stand up against the rioting hooligans recently.
And to all you idiots who dare to call yourself hockey fans, when all you ever stood out to be were mindless losers and cowards: Please get lost... seriously, we will all be so much better without you.
Go here to watch a video showing the bravery of the decent folks of Vancouver: offthebench.nbcsports.com.

The angered and suicidal nightclub bouncer, who had recently been released from prison where he was jailed for hitting a child, blasted his ex through a window in her home with a shotgun at 2:40 a.m., seriously wounding her.

Guilty Over Assault
Australia -- A 24-year-old man applied a sleeper hold during a fight at a Melbourne fast food restaurant in July 2009. Recently, a court heard how the man was trained in martial arts and that he would have known the move would knock out his victim.
Three men, aged 22, 24 and 33 and all working as bouncers, pleaded guilty over the assault in Prahran that left a promising footballer with a fractured skull.
The court was told the victim fell to the ground after he was released from the sleeper hold and hit his head, according to foodweek.com.au.

Boxer With Self-Defense Move
Ireland -- 42-year-old former British world boxing champion Steve Collins told a court in November how he had used a 'martial arts self defence manoeuvre', according to rte.ie.
Collins claimed he used the technique on a doorman at the National Boxing Stadium in Dublin in June 2006 after after being refused entry through a VIP entrance. He also claimed he did not punch the man.
Mr Collins told the jury he 'knew what he was talking about' when it came to the issue of self-defense. He said he had been taught by a 'California martial arts expert' and that he used a special technique to break the doorman's grip.

Ohhh Scary
"Karate moves and shadow boxing" ... Oh yes. Really, it doesn't get more scary than that :-)
Story:
UK -- A 22-year-old Cleethorpes man, got into a "scuffle" with bouncers at a Grimsby night club recently, according to thisisgrimsby.co.uk.
When the door staff refused him entry into the club he threatened them by acting out karate moves and shadow boxing.
When the man was detained by a street warden and arrested by police, they discovered two tablets in his pocket, which the trouble maker said he believed was ecstasy. The drugs turned out to be a mixture of ketamine and caffeine.

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.

Bad bouncer boy
Having worked as a bouncer/doorman, I can attest to the fact that most situations can and should be handled without the use of physical violence.
Judging from what is evident here - this looks as one of them. Kicking a heavily-intoxicated person in the head...?
Story:
A Brisbane (Australia) bouncer jailed for seven years after being found guilty of delivering a death kick to a patron has had his conviction quashed and a retrial ordered on appeal.
The court heard that on June 14, 2003, at the hotel in Brisbane's east, Mr Hutchings delivered a swift kick to the head of a heavily-intoxicated Mr Coddington, causing him to die of a brain haemorrhage.
The court was also told Mr Coddington said "I f***ed your Mum" to Mr Hutchings as the bouncer evicted him from the hotel because of his drunkenness.
Mr Hutchings allegedly responded by delivering a backwards turning martial-arts style kick to the side of Mr Coddington's head.

Stone-cold killer
Martial arts buff? Probably more like a martial arts bluff...
Story:
Detectives cracked three unsolved murders by lifting bouncer Stephen Sakai's DNA from a cup while he was interrogated about this week's fatal shooting spree at a Chelsea nightclub, the Daily News has learned.
By the time cops were done grilling him, the suspect was linked to the execution-style killings of three business cronies - crimes committed in the months before he allegedly went berserk with a .45-caliber pistol outside Opus 22.
The muscle-bound martial arts buff - who carried phony business and credit cards to seem like a big shot - had business dealings with all three Brooklyn victims, the source said.

Nowhere to hide
Australia: Bikie gangs at war over the drug trade turf. The self-adoration of gym jock body-builders. Security guards, bouncers and martial arts exponents. The ecstasy-stimulated excitement of a popular "recovery club".
Judgement about the day of contamination is near, and all this will be involved, a seedy and often violent world beyond the experience and most likely the knowledge of the Brisbane mother of three Dianne Brimble - until she encountered it, was sexually wasted and left to die naked on a floor.

Ultimate Violence?
Personally I don't think too much of this sport.
Sure, it can be interesting to watch - lots of action - and I have nothing but the utmost respect for the fighters.
But the audience and "fans"? I guess not everyone should be allowed to watch. Combine fighting with alcohol, and you have a bad mixture.
Take that from someone who's been working the doors.
