In China, Women Train to Become Bodyguards for Billionaires

[pateticorecords]

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.

i will only hire them if i can do the romance with them in the rain after a big shootout wit evil thugs.

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."

well, wang yalang will certainly need her martial skills when her parents find out and decide to kick her azz

In China, Female Bodyguards Are Considered So Important, Almost Sacred

In the United States, and most other Western Countries we are used to seeing big, tall, and muscular men as Bodyguards. But, in China it’s the complete opposite. The most popular kinds of bodyguards in China not only are female, but they are tall, skinny, beautiful, model-like females. But, boy they can kick butt! They are placed through the most intensive kinds of training, challenging both their minds, bodies, and souls. The reason female bodyguards are considered so valuable is because they work so well as undercover bodyguards. No one expects beautiful women to be strong as hell, and be able to out-do any size/type bad guy. When hired, they are hired to work under a secretary or personal assistant disguise. Little do these bad guys know that under the pretty clothes, is a total badass super hero!

All of the women in the program are put through rigorous self defense training.



They learn a multitude of grappling techniques, such as the Americana….



…triangle choke…



…armbar…



While the martial arts training can be fun, it’s also very intense.



…and rear naked choke.



The trainees always end their session exhausted, but invigorated.



Compared to the rest of their training, though, being choked out and punched is a walk in the park.



They are pushed to their limit both mentally and physically.



Even for the many women who are retired soldiers and athletes, the training activities are a huge challenge.
