Like I said guys, wrong answer.
A brawler, which is what pretty much everyone here is talking about, is not the same as a security expert. Thompson, Quinn and the like make some sense because they've done certain sorts of security work. But Kenpo this and Sensei that? Not on a bet. They might be decent fighters, but that's only a small part of being a really good, comprehensive personal security professional.
Hmmm Let me see.
What do they know about pursuit or evasive driving?
I wonde if some of the special training in driving vehicles would count?
Worked it for years as security, and also to decide who was the problem of most likely the problem. I have also been accused of working at places I was only at, as I would be in the standard security spot even if someone who worked there was not.
I have been known to disapear or blend into a crowd even after I have had a confrontation and be able to assist friends or delay the bad guys.
Defusing a thousand different potentially dangerous situations discreetly?
Yep, done that, from everything to agreeing with the person and or buying them a drink, to just smiling and walking away.
Checking out a car, hotel room or restaurant for possible threats?
This is one of the harder one. The size of bugs and camera's makes this very difficult without some nice equipment to pick up a transmision or to assist. I do check my hotel room, for the last thing I want is to show up on Voyer.com
I check every place I walk into, just because it is habit.
Checking a vehicle out for trouble is much more difficult. Being in the Auto biz, I know lots of little ways and places that could modify a vehicle. And opening the hood requires opening the door, which on most modern vehicles also wakes up many of the modules on the communications bus, whihc could be used as some form of a trigger. Also breaking a ground when the door opens, or when the vehicles is started or attempted to be started. One can check the obvious, if one is able to look visually. So, this leads to having the vehicle locked and out of sight and touch of others when not in use and monitored visually by those you trust when in public. Otherwise I know of no way to make it 100% safe.
How to get out of a place is what I look for as I walk in and check the place out, even in the Grocery Store.
Getting between the client and the attacker?
Having worked at some clubs and had to get between fans and the performers this can be difficult if your package is not listening to you and or doing things to make it easier for people to get access to them.
(* I also wore a cup when I worked these types of events, many people laughed, but all it took was for the look of someone after they knee'd me and I was able to react. Yes no matter how good one is, there is almost always a chance for contact. and sometimes it occurs because you are between the person and your package. *)
And a hundred other things that I don't know because I'm not in the business?
I actually am not in the business. But Like I said given my resources and limited skill set, I would still choose me.
