“Arnold Schwarzenegger’s bodyguard detail his biggest set of muscles”

Unfortunately, we cannot easily overcome a stereotype that is portrayed in movies and glorified in the media. However, any true protector understands that it is not the size of the agent or caliber of weapon or the degree of black belt that will keep their client safe, but the mind – and specifically how far forward the mind can think. This is most notably and famously exemplified in the Paris Hilton incident shown within the article when her bodyguard restrains a would be assailant and leaves her unattended crying out “What do we do? Is there Police? What do we do?”

All we can do is set ourselves apart, professionally.

“The former Vice Chairman, Lagos Mainland branch of the NURTW, was reportedly shot dead at the back of his house by the assailants while parking his car around 8pm on Tuesday.”

Time and time again we are shown that the stats are true – “most attacks occur in or near the principal’s vehicle, and they occur mostly near the home, office or hotel – just where complacency is most likely to set in.”

This is based on the 1983 kidnapping of Mr. Heineken in which the assailants planned the mission for as long as two years and had made several attempts prior to being successfull.

This event demonstrates the necessity for counter surveillance and behavioral analysis training of protection specialists.

Our students seem to like our simple and effective disarming technique taught in out Unarmed Compliance & Disarming Techniques class in the 3 Day Executive Protection Agent Training Course – our technique is taught on the premise that the weapon is not pointed at you in a “stick up” type situation, but at someone else – i.e. your principal. We don’t teach stick up disarms, we leave that to the pro’s like Master Ken here…let us know what you think!
