Randall TEX Cobb, actor, Los Angeles, CA

These videos show lessons on how you can teach the celebrity what to do when fans become aggressive. I recommend these tapes.

Product Description

Now, for the first time ever offered on video, you can go inside the school that trains professional bodyguards. The lessons presented in these videos have never before been so completely captured in detail on film. The training presented in these videos is the same training taught to agents assigned to protect celebrities, dignitaries, and heads of state worldwide. The BODY FOR HIRE video series gives you the basic building blocks to begin your career as a professionally trained personal protection specialist. Many working bodyguards today don't actually have a professional background in this field. They were merely physically big enough, or bluffed enough to get hired. The people that hired them use them as "window dressing" security. And they pay them much less than what a professional would receive. Typically these untrained guards earn less than $20,000 annually. But with professional training, they could easily command $60,000 or more. The key is their training. Join an elite group of men and women providing professional personal protection to a growing list of clients. Order the BODY FOR HIRE video training series and start building your career today.

4.0 out of 5 stars A MUST for anyone serious about being a bodyguard!, December 16, 2000

By

This review is from: Body For Hire; The Complete Bodyguard Training Video Series [VHS] (VHS Tape)

The "Body For Hire" series of videos are an absolute must for anyone that is seriously concidering a career in the personal protection field. No one should attempt as demanding a profession without having learned the fundamentals and they are in these videos presented in a easy to understand format. The viewer has the opportunity to practice these fundamentals at their leisure by replaying the video lessons. I have attended 2 of Hawk/East's on site classes and after viewing the videos, I realized that they were great for refresher training too. These videos are not only for potential bodyguards, but also anyone that is concerned for the safety of family/friends.

4.0 out of 5 stars A useful introduction to executive close protection, January 13, 2001

By 

PB (Buckinghamshire, UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Body For Hire; The Complete Bodyguard Training Video Series [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I would recommend the Body for Hire series to anyone considering a career in executive close protection. The videos provide a useful insight for those with little knowledge of the protective security industry and do a great deal to dispel the myth's and Hollywood image of bodyguard's and what they do. Whilst the focus of the training presented is that of a large detail dignitary protection team, the information is also relevant to small team/single operator assignments. The instructors are all experienced close protection officers with backgrounds in law enforcement and the military. The subjects and techniques covered include everything from bomb search and close quarter handgun drills to communications and the vital skill of advance reconnaissance. All in all, these videos provide a great way for the novice to begin their training in close protection, as well as a useful review of essential knowledge for the experienced operator.

This review is from: Body For Hire; The Complete Bodyguard Training Video Series [VHS] (VHS Tape)

i want to just say that (BODY FOR HIRE) is the most detailed source of info provided to service men and civilians alike. (BODY FOR HIRE) is a vice a (basic) BUT FIRM grip on being a Bodyguard,CPP,and or A EPS. (BFH) answers all the questions that you can think of pertaining to SPECIAL SERVICES it even answers question you didn't think of. I thought the tapes (1,2,3) were brilliant IT IS an EXPLOSION OF KNOWLEDGE i would recommend (BODY FOR HIRE)TO ANYONE TRYING TO BRAKE IN TO EXECUTIVE PROTECTION. the instructors spoke very clearly and with a lot of authority and they were very knowledgeable on the subjects they were instructing. I believe in "each one teach one" that's why I'm writing this review. I ALSO BELIEVE "EVERY THING AINT FOR EVERYBODY" but i hope I'm not casting jewels upon deaf ears. buy the tapes you won't regret it
