The Tianjiao special guard academy was set up by former Chinese soldier Chen Yongqing, and is China’s first professional training academy for personal body guards. Each student pays 500,000 yuan (US$82,400) a year to undergo the harsh training, and aspire to protect China’s rich and famous. Chen said that his initial clients were celebrities, but now rich entrepreneurs are keen to have their own personal army of body guards.

Instructors kick a trainee who gave up during a training session. Trainers at the academy are sourced from the Chinese military, as well as from Israel and Russia.
Cuts and wounds are common due to the harsh and rigourous trianing.
Blood drips from a trainee's nose as he takes part in a long-distance run. Retired soldiers see this as a chance to put their skills and talent to use, rather than work as a security guard.
Students carry a tree trunk as part of their training.

Apart from ensuring the security of their company, the rich are keen to have their family safeguarded from kidnappers. A client named Zhang hired 18 bodyguards from Tianjiao after his friend was kidnapped and killed. He says: “Society is not stable nowadays.”
I remember about 10 years ago,Jet Li..made a movie,Zhong Nan Hai Bodyguard..that show very good.
They pay US 82K a year to train for this?
Where they get this sort of money?
I think it's a waste of money.
If you are protecting the rich and famous, enemies will be targetting your client, not you.
Why would you want to train your body against torture or pain or endurance or whatever?
You can run 5km in 15 minutes but what about your client?

.....you missed the point here. These people they are going to protect are all filthy rich fat cats. They're willing to pay tonnes of money, so they expect someone who is protected them are super duper well trained. As you know, the world is a very dangerous place to be, bad ass are getting even more daring and violence. A body guard with a black belt and some muscle aim good enough.
FYI...when under attack, client don't need to run, they expect the body guard to carry them.

Actually I think ah char does make a point.
If you are an assassin, would u target the guards or would you rather kill the target then escape?
Put it simply, killing guards = waste of manpower, time and resource. Resource like bombs, bullets cost money.
It's not quite like playing a computer game that you need to kill all the guards to be able to damage the final boss
Good against untrained regular joes who just want to punch the rich client's face.
But if you need bodyguards with arms training, then your enemies likely don't even need to get close to you to attack you.
Yes?
Man walks with 40 trained body guards around him.
5 steps and he got shot in the head by a long range sniper.
The end...
That's why better to learn Fus Ro Dah skill.
