International Bodyguard Association ©
Founded in 1957 with continuous service to Today
The I.B.A. is an international non-governmental organization (INGO) established in Paris in December 1957.
Since then, the IBA has established itself as the leading international training organization for bodyguards. Operating on 5 continents and more than 50 countries, we are able to offer worldwide coverage.
Greece is also included since 1996, with Professor Antonio Mitrou & Full Instructor Harry Mitrou.
The Associations primary objective is to train officers of government and corporate security in world class bodyguard techniques for protection.
The training courses can only be attended by those men or women and are who are of 25 years minimum age.
Since 1957, our primary objective has been to consistently provide the highest level of training to government, military, police and civilian bodyguards.
Our world-class security instructors offer specialist training and guidance in a unique learning environment, helping bodyguards to develop professional skills and industry knowledge throughout their careers.
The Association’s reputation for excellence is a result of nearly 60 years achievement in protective skills training.
Provided an individual has no criminal record they may enrol in the IBA training programme.
Each IBA course is authenticated through a diploma issued to the trainee signed by the Director General and the Instructors impressed with the legal seal of the International Bodyguard Association.
History
Lucien Ott was born and brought up within the French Foreign Legion in Algeria. His grandfather killed in WW1 in the Dardanelles campaign served in the elite Chasseurs d’Afrique. Lucien’s father Victor served in the Spahi before joining the French Foreign Legion.
Victor Ott became a senior NCO in the 1st Foreign Legion Cavalry Regiment , wounded in the Riff wars he was invalided out on pension.
He volunteered to parachute into Dien Bien Phu where he was wounded and captured by the Viet Minh.
He escaped and joined the GCMA a military intelligence operation organising Montagnard resistance groups.
His review found that the methods used internationally in bodyguarding were ineffective and outmoded. From this was born the Lucien Ott protection method he called ‘Défense & Security’ He coined the phrase “protection rapprochée” which the UK’s Royal Military Police mistranslated as Close Protection.
