Does anyone have any experience using Aikido in a body guarding capacity? If so, can you elaborate here?
Not personally, but I once trained with one of the members of the Secret Service detail responsible for guarding Chelsea Clinton when she was attending Stanford. I would think the strategy would vary depending on wheher it was one agent or a group. I'm speculating, but the abiltiy to subdue an assailant in a crowded situation might have been beneficial to him in that there would be other agents and police officers who would continue to stay with the client.
