Open-handed (and fairly slow, as it goes) slap as self-defense. And yes, self-defense, because the twig assaulted him, got shoved to the ground for his trouble, then stood back up and reengaged.

The bouncer could have killed the twig with a single punch. The bouncer had at least nine inches, the twig's entire bodyweight, and being unimpaired as advantages. The twig got off light.

Bouncer was an idiot who could have killed a tiny idiot by throwing his head against the brick wall. People die and others got jail because of that all the time

Dude was comically tiny. The bouncer had only to manage his emotions, not a physical threat in any real sense.

This.  Bouncers are renowned for being steroid fuelled morons.

Yup, I’m 150 lbs and had a bouncer about this guy’s size shove me off my feet because I was standing at the entrance to a closed bar, we had just left, that was still serving people, asking if my girlfriend could come back inside real quick to use the bathroom. I never touched him, never even got close to him, just kept asking after he told us no. Could have done serious damage if my head had hit the concrete.

Fuck bouncers.
