Well I did used to work with (not going to mention name) because he is still floating about here in Belfast, an ex world title boxing contender who when getting ready for a fight weighed about 9 and a half stone, 5 foot 8, well I have to admit he had a terrible attitude for a door supervisor actually thought his job was to hit people. Well he payed more money out of his own pocket in compensation to keep the people quiet and to keep it out of court. A good description of him waas as above 9 stone piss wet through but he did some damage, and I think on several occassions his size drew the attention of trouble makers wondering what this little twerp was a door supervisor for and boy did they find out, but like i said absolutely wrong attitude for the job !!!

Please allow me to alaborate. Obviously there are exceptions to every rule. But not not that many people are nine stone boxers, thai boxers or such like.
Suppose what I should have said is that you need to have something about you. Weve all seen it people who are not up to the job but because they have a sia licence they think that is all they need.

I don't think size is an issue but training and knowledge. I've worked with a female who is 5'6'', maybe 9 stone but she is someone i would not want to piss off..

Hi BBB,

There is one club that i work at (in the Greater Manchester area) and to be honest its quite a 'rough' place to work. We have a female member of door staff and she's only about 5ft 6" and is in no way 'butch' she's quite petite :-)

She handles herself fine and she is a very much valued equally, obviously she doesn't get the 6ft5" guys in full nelsons to restrain them but a good door supervisor should rarely need any physical contact with the customers. Its all about your communication skills, at the end of the day 95% of people out just want to have fun and be treated with some respect.

Hope this helps :-0
