@LowEndMuse: Yeah, probably will be. My boys were, as were their friends. After my startling car wreck back in 1995, I was sore for days and had a bruise across my chest from where the seatbelt stopped me from bouncing all over the car and through the windshield.

@thedisasterautist She's pretty tough though. She wrestles for her high school. 👍🏻

@LowEndMuse: Way.

My eldest boys were and still are wrestlers, boxers, and ju-jistuers... ju-jitsuists... whatever. Athletes. LOL

@thedisasterautist I was a long time JiuJitsu player, then my body said 'No more for you sir' and I begrudgingly agreed. 😂

@LowEndMuse: I never did the jitsu or karate or such. I got beat up a lot and learned over time how to defend myself. The Dojo of Hard Knocks, if you will. 😄 I played street sports, of course, as one did back in the '70s and '80s. I ran T&F in middle and early high school. Then I got into bodybuilding (before it was cool, in the late '80s). That's how I wound up doing event security and bouncing at many points over the years.

Alas, my body now forbids everything but the weightlifting.

@thedisasterautist I did a couple year run bouncing at shady bars around here. Can be dangerous for sure. 👍🏻

@LowEndMuse: Fortunately I rarely worked shady spots, except for two strip clubs in CLT. Also fortunately I was (and I hope am still) generally a good de-escalator. That said, I've traveled backwards through closed doors, had people land on me, landed on people, collided with parked cars, and gone through the odd window or plate glass door. *That* said, never at shady spots but rather at "respectable joints".

I believe people accustomed to Actual Trouble/Violence tend to look for it less.

@thedisasterautist I only worked shady spots. About all the was here at the time. 💀
