It just occurred to me that Michael worked in the restaurant business. Someone who works in a restaurant or bar might learn the Carotid chokehold from a doorman or bouncer. Here's an example of that topic being discussed on a security forum.

How to teach the Carotid chokehold?

I've discussed the chokehold with BOUNCER at the AR forum before, we both agree it's one of the better incapacitation methods. Recently I've switched from a 'drug orientated' nightclub to a legit nightclub, the other doorman would like to know how to apply carotid chokehold
My colleague's have attempted it on patrons, but after all the explaination and demonstration i give them, they still haven't been able to put someone to sleep. I have since told them not to apply it, does anyone have any tips?
I wanted to implement the carotid chokehold as the primary (if not only way) to eject a violent patron(s). I believe that innocent bystander patrons would be more apt to respect a controlled martial arts hold, than some thugged-out bouncer punching them into compliance.
Do you think the Carotid Chokehold is of good use in a nightclub? How can I teach the other doorman how to do it effectively? Do you think it should be used before striking?
