 In China, it’s now young women who are training to be the “must have” mercenaries — or bodyguards — to the country’s wealthiest. There are now at least 300 billionaires and almost 1 million millionaires in China. For many of them, having women serve as their private protection — not men – is the ultimate status symbol. Answering this rising demand is Chen Yongqing, who once worked as a bodyguard for superstar Jackie Chan. Sporting a deep tan and tight Armani T-shirts, Chen is part-Gen. Patton, part-self promoter, with his own personal cameraman in tow. At his Genghis Security Academy in Sanya, Hainan, which Chen said is the first training camp of its kind in China, men and women train side-by-side for 30 days to become professional security details. Blood, sweat and tears are on the syllabus, but brute force — and no complaining — is what it takes to survive. Women here learn how to put attackers in a headlock, pin them to the ground and deliver a solid right hook. Hand-to-hand combat training is key for any bodyguard in China, because the country has severe restrictions on gun ownership. Despite the physical risk, women from across China want in. Wang Yalan is one of them. At 24 years old, she dropped out of medical school to come to Genghis. “I feel like it is my true calling,” she said. “It has more of a sense of justice.” Although Wang struggles through almost every exercise, she is one of the many who are happy to pay the hefty $3,000 tuition and follow the rules. That means no dating until after age 28. Chen, who is 29, said dating is a distraction. But he is so confident he can turn anyone into a bodyguard that he challenges me to take his course. http://www.knowledgecentreng.com/2012/11/in-china-women-train-to-become.html http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/headlines/2012/11/in-china-women-are-the-bodyguards-for-billionaires/ |

I am sorry but I can't seem 2 see how a female bodyguard could do a better job than a male bodyguard. Most men r physically stronger than women and if there was a crowd gathering around her employer, I can't see how she can protect the guy better than a man. Imagine her oga being shot and needing 2 b dragged or *God forbids* get carried away. 1 Like |

I think the benefit would be their ability to blend in with their surroundings since most people when they think BG, they thing big buff dude with that suspicious look in his eyes and mean mugging. The ladies other than their guise, would have to work a bit harder than males. |

*Kails*: I think the first duty of a body guard is to protect, now imagine a crowd of people rushing at the boss, how can someone *not* buff handle the issue? |

RudySmith: why do you think they will be working alone? secondly if a woman is between you and someone else, you're naturally less likely to 'press up' on her except you be molue expert whats the big deal in dragging or lifting someone you need to go out more |

jimctu: interesting, but is hard for a women to bear a big men punch...no matter how strong is she. The strength difference is very high. Ever wondered why Gadaffi had all female commandos?. To feel 'safer' between their bosoms. Personally, I would rather rest my head a soft twin bosom than on a hard chest of dude. Everyday I would be praying that there would be an attempt on my life so that I get locked away with beauties (I'll make sure to pick the fine ones) someplace for a week |

Am very sure the girl who dropped out of medical school to become a bodyguard to some billionaires had her reasons, also ladies who took defending billionaires as their career had their own reasons also. you don't have to blame them for that. |

Reminds of Ghadaffi. I tire for this world ooh, women don take all the jobs wey men suppose do. (even bus and taxi have been overtaken by women). I wonder what is left for men to do. But, come to think of it, women are deadlier and brutal when it comes to taking life, never cross a woman. #smh~ The world is indeed coming to an end, hope it is not December 21, 2012 (mayan prediction). |

Why are so many Nigerian men myopic? China,where most new improved innovations come from, have decided to train young females for Body G jobs and we here are wondering at the sense in it. Hmmm,we will catch on very soon by the time hollywood who-is -who begins to replace all their male amazon BGs for the kittens like female ones. Speed,Swiftness and Smartness will win the show. |
