When I was living in Japan, new clubs in Roppongi (place full of night clubs where all the gaijin hung out) would always hire Japanese body guards. Despite the influence of video games and movies, there is not much violence in Japan. Most Japanese males have never been in a fight. These bouncers were always trained in martial arts and had "security" certificates. In most of the clubs in Japan, they have sections where girls can sit and guys are not allowed. To make it so the girls don't have to be harassed. There was always some drunk Marine or Australian that didn't like to be told to leave the "grils" section and they would hospitalize the poor Japanese body guard who told them to leave. Then the club would hire some Yakuza (Japanese gangsters who are supposed to be tough) and then the Yakusa would get pummeled also. Finally the club would hire some large american servicemen in their off hours and order would be restored. But in the three years I was there I must have seen fifteen clubs go through this evolution.
