Empty hand FMA for bouncers
I have a job at nights as a nightclub bouncer. I have found the use of empty-hand FMA(panantukan, sikaran, dumog, etc.) to be very helpful in dispatching perpetrators. In most states, we are not allowed to hit to the head/face area with a closed fist so we have to modify our methods accordingly. I usually utilize the dumog skills I trained in for the most part when it came to breaking up fights or to simply control an aggressor.
I've even slammed palm heel strikes to the chin to knock a guy out if I was dealing with more than one perp. Quick finger jabs to the eye(s) make awesome set-ups for other methods when it came to dealing with aggresors.
Heavy slaps across the face, body, ear, nuts, etc are also one of the most effective to add to your "toolbox".
Thw wonderful thing about practicing Kali with weapons is that it truly trains and develops a practitioner's unarmed combat skills as if on automatic pilot. Before you know it, you might be surprised to find that you've landed up to 6 to 12 hits in quick succession on an aggressor and you never had to learn the Parker Kenpo system to do that.
