He said, “Okay, first of I can speak with experience on this because I worked as a bouncer for over a decade. Most of the clubs I worked at did not require a suit and tie, but occasionally they did.
“Okay, let’s first differentiate between the kinds of threats when you wear a tie. If you wear a tie, if there is going to be a threat by far the more important threat is not strangulation. Okay, being strangulated by your tie is possible, but it is a poor choice.”
Danaher is one of the best Jiu-Jitsu and MMA instructors out there and holds a 4th-degree black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Danaher has worked in many Manhattan nightclubs as a bouncer and thus has plenty of experience in street combat situations.
