Many come from a military or law enforcement backgrounds. Work in the Secret Service is an excellent resume builder. Some take bodyguard training courses where they learn about close protection, anti-terrorism techniques, first aid, risk assessment, weapons disarming, unarmed combat, counter surveillance, dispute resolution, advanced driving techniques, and conflict avoidance. Some carry a weapon, while others are trained in martial arts. The more training and experience a bodyguard has the better.
