The trainees took courses such as Israeli combat skills, FBI mind reading, special reconnaissance techniques, international security marksmanship courses, special driving, high-risk anti-terrorism simulation training and international business etiquette. These trainees will pass a series of rigorous examinations, and those who pass will have the opportunity to join the professional bodyguard team. However, to truly become a good professional bodyguard, it still takes one to two years of training. Once you become a real professional bodyguard, your annual income will be at least 100,000 yuan, and more than 300,000 yuan.

Private bodyguards have proliferated in China in a low-key manner

MarcoBe, a certified instructor at Israel's International Security Academy and who has been invited to do several professional bodyguard trainings in China, said that the explosion of private wealth in China has boosted the growth of private bodyguard companies. However, in China, because firearms are banned, bodyguards don't need people who know guns. Bodyguards need to be able to stop the attacker through prior wisdom and solid fighting skills. He said that many of the people he trained were secretaries, drivers and even nannies who were close to the wealthy. However, more are selected from the retired soldiers of the army, and after passing the training, they are sent by the company to the key personnel for personal protection.

Law enforcement agencies have no responsibility and obligation to protect the departing dignitaries, superstars, and tycoons invited to some major events in China, so professional bodyguards have become a supplement to this space.

In addition, as Chinese state-owned enterprises and wealthy individuals move abroad to develop industries, there has been a surge in security needs involving the protection of Chinese companies, and the previous model of training Chinese bodyguards without firearms could not meet international demand. Some Chinese bodyguard companies have begun to cooperate with foreign professional bodyguard companies, introduce international standard training content, and at the same time send personnel to foreign countries for practical training in firearms skills, so as to achieve international standards and better undertake the protection of foreign VIPs.
