The most efficient way to learn and study. Study each post carefully. Keep in mind your goal of becoming a professional body guard. Be sure to take the posted test at the end of a group of lessons. If you do not understand the language or words, used look them up in a dictionary. Always read the posts which is a part of the course out loud that your ears hear the words. The more you hear the more you will remember.
At the end of each lesson you should be able to know and define what a client is;
describe the goals of being a body guard
explain the needs for bodyguards
Via this post, we will now be introduced to the world of close protection or body guard services.
Think back in your mind how many times you have heard about an assassination or attempted assassination. We remember President Reagan's attempted assassination by Hinckly or Rabin's assassination in Israel. This are but two described, but there are thousands of attempted assassinations that take place every year. This assassinations or attempted take place all over the world. They take place in the United States, Mexico, Central America, Africa, Europe and Asia. They place everywhere and anywhere. Assassinations take place at night or in the day. On Sunday or Monday any day it does matter what day it is to an assassin.
In some countries body guards services are provided by local police officers some are good and most often they are very poor at their work.
In the body guard service a client is an individual or a family or a group of people that require personal protection to insure their safety. The client may be a politician, a doctor, an industrialist or a very important person known as a VIP. A professional body guard may be protecting directors or heads of a corporation or international company. A client may be among and from movie stars, celebrities, sports members, families of the rich or celebrities.
The goal and function of body guards (BG) is to protect the client or clients. A BG may be an individual or a group of individuals working for the client.
In history there have been assassinations where the body guards were involved in the assassination of the client. To this author's opinion those BG's did not have the most important principle in their hearts and minds. To this author that important principle is loyalty. A BG (bodyguard) must be loyal to his client. If you do not understand the word loyalty check it out in your dictionary. Loyalty to this author is Bushido. Loyalty must be the most important part of the BG. His or her loyalty must be strong. If the BG does not feel loyalty to his client he or she must part ways and allow a new BG to take his place. A BG that leaves his client must never reveal anything about his former client that means everything. Do not speak ill of your former client even though he may have been the worst person in the world. Maintain loyalty in your thoughts and words. If I were ever approached by a BG looking to be hired for one of my clients and I heard him speaking ill of his former client. I would not trust him with any of my clients. I would never permit him within a thousand meters of my client. In history, smart rulers or clients had their unloyal body guards killed. Don't be a fool be loyal to your client. Remember the words, “Loyalty” and “Bushido” think of them as one. In the world exist many instruments or weapons that are used by men to provide protection but the most effective way to protect individuals has been and is the BG, body guard.
If you know history you will remember that Julius Caesar was murdered (assassinated) by disloyal members of his government and his personal guard. We know that murder and assassination are the same crime, the difference is that assassination is a word used mostly for heads of state.
In the next lesson post I will discuss how an assassination plan begins. The lesson will describe how the assassination is planned and carried out. By learning how it is completed and carried the student BG will be able to learn skills and expertise that allow him to provide excellent protection that is required of him or her.
