From Underground Fightclubs to Nightclub Owner: The Mark ‘Hammer’ Castagnini Story

Mark “The Hammer” Castagnini has lived one of the wildest journeys in Australian nightlife and combat sports. From battling self-esteem as a kid, to finding confidence through martial arts, his story takes us deep into the world of nightclub culture, bouncer life, and the underground fight scene.

In this episode, we talk about:
The illegal fightclubs known as Battle of the Bouncers
 Going from nightclub punter to bouncer — and the crazy stories that came with it
 The brutal reality of nightclub brawls and the ever-changing security industry
Owning Area 61 nightclub, losing it all, and reinventing himself
And How martial arts saved his life and gave him purpose

This is raw, real, and unapologetic
