I was watching the History channel (as always) and some of our ex and present troops who served at the meeting place, can't remember the name, where the cease fire was signed, were telling of their experiences with the NK troops. American soldiers have been ambushed and killed through the years but always by a gang of their guards. One-on-one is a no-no for NK guards because our troops are specially chosen for size, over 6 ft tall and brawny build. This is meant to humiliate and intimidate NK guards and it works very well because there has never been an incident between one-on-one. One of the US guards said he prayed for one of the NKs to make a mistake and get too close to him.
You know. Unless the American soldiers concerned have hand-to-hand combat training and are *good* at it (assuming they have and they are) size does not really matter if you are fighting someone well trained in practical martial arts. Unless there's a really stupid difference in size and even that can be overcome. Witness Royce Gracie in the UFC beating men who outweighed him by over 100 pounds in some cases.
The breaking of implements over various parts of the body is really for show. I'd imagine his bodyguards have some kind of akido/ju-jitsiu style training which does not require brute strength or size to make effective. If you haven't been trained to escape from chokes/locks/strangles or cannot grapple you will be at a *severe* disadvantage with these guys.
EuroSpike said:"EuroSpike, you do know what I meant by a "9mm enema" don't you. It doesn't have to be a 9mm one a 12 gauge enema would work. Just a little levity attempt."
Yeah, i read your comment once again and understod what did you mean. Long expensive martial art training which is easily wasted by one single bullet. WASTED, should i say.
EuroSpike said:"Yep, that's exactly right. These guys could be able to kill any human when they get within 10m of them, but what is to stop someone from shooting them from 15m or 900m for that matter."
And even closer ranges are enough, the most important is to keep enough space between you and "hujahaja" man to be able to pull the trigger before he gets on or do anything.
IMO the best way to get bodyguards is to pick up suitable men who already have necessary HtH skills and then give them bodyguard and weapon training. Also military/police backround is positive, and the respectfull size of gorilla of course.

Dopple, have you ever tried to strangle a defensive tackle with a 22 inch neck full of muscles? What, exactly do you think a 320 lb man who is 6'6" is going to be doing with arms as big as a normally large man's leg besides pulling limbs off a smaller man?
