Bodyguards are not "thugs". Bodyguards are often considered "barbaric thugs". This common misunderstanding is quite different from the facts. This article describes what it really takes to be a bodyguard. First of all, not everyone is suitable to be a bodyguard. You must have strong physical and mental perseverance to learn this industry, and you must be willing to sacrifice your time. After all, anything of value comes at no cost. Don't be fooled by Hollywood novels and movies that portray the bodyguard profession in the worst way. Even the classic bodyguard starring the late Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner in 1992 showed immoral bodyguard behavior. The bodyguard had a romantic relationship with his client. True professionals who want to have a long career will never cross the ethical boundaries of the industry. Stereotype of Hollywood bodyguards the stereotype of Hollywood bodyguards is often between gangsters and idiots. I once worked for an actor who fired his bodyguard because he didn't shave and didn't dress properly. However, in one of his films, my client played a bodyguard who was a former policeman. He appeared in the film with a stubby beard, a windbreaker and a rude manner. It's the kind of bodyguard he would fire on the spot in real life. Film and television's description of our industry is distorted and does not provide good learning experience and image for those who are interested in becoming bodyguards. A bodyguard who lacks psychological ability or limitations will not be able to play a professional role in real life. Bodyguards are very complex. Bodyguards in real life must always learn and improve themselves, and practice and improve their industry knowledge and skill reserves, including countless hours of physical training and knowledge learning. These skills are necessary to succeed in the industry. Many bodyguards focus on proficiency in specific areas. When performing more complex tasks, the bodyguard will collect and retain a large amount of information in advance. This includes airport knowledge, ground crew familiarity and fleet assembly, establishing contact networks in hotels, venues and restaurants, and participating in joint operation planning with support personnel. Finally, the bodyguard must have a large number of professional contacts who can make calls when needed. This requires intelligence, not the trade of the weak. Bodyguards must be strategic. Bodyguards are strategic and action planners. They must be widely recognized in many different activities in order to make valuable contributions. Bodyguards must understand the operational environment, threat level and political sensitivity of the area in which they work. This understanding provides a lot of support for the team in combat missions and strengthens the protection of customers. Regardless of the type of task, the bodyguard exists in enterprises, Hollywood, diplomacy, religion, entertainment industries, etc. he or she must have physical and spiritual tenacity and be able to avoid and deal with potential threats. To this end, high-intensity training of physical and mental strength is needed to reduce any weakness. Improve the efficiency as a bodyguard and greatly enhance the competitiveness of your career.
