Bodyguards are hired to protect another person from harm . . . stuff like assault or abduction. Usually a bodyguard is hired to protect public figures, people like politicians or celebrities (or celebrities turned politicians, or politicians turned celebrities). If you fancy the life of a bodyguard bar any other profession, then here are a few facts you might like to know.
- Bodyguard bar fact #1 – Bodyguards need lots of training, in combat, firearms, first aid, surveillance and crowd control.
- Bodyguard bar fact #2 – Bodyguards are sometimes thought of as great big bullies, more muscle than brains which stand in between the public and their client. This is just so not true, bodyguards are actually well trained professionals which fulfil the security needs of their clients.
- Bodyguard bar fact #3 – Some bodyguards are so unimpressed with the negative associations of Bodyguard bar fact #2, that they prefer to call themselves “Executive Protection” . . . sounds much more clever don’t you think?
I don’t care what the bodyguard in the photo is called, you certainly wouldn’t mess with him would you?
