Professional Bodyguarding & Cinematic Action Division
1. Vision & Strategic Role of Bodyguarding in the IFPF
Safeguarding with Precision. Representing with Power.
The International Federation of Physical Fitness (IFPF) recognizes professional bodyguarding as a critical discipline that combines advanced tactical skills with international standards of protection, integrity, and representation. Within our global structure, bodyguarding is not merely a security service—but a sport, a science, and a cinematic craft. This division supports the development of elite personal protection officers, stunt professionals, and tactical athletes who represent excellence in physical readiness, emotional intelligence, and global security protocols.
2. Integration with the Global Film & Entertainment Industry
Where Tactical Mastery Meets Screen Power.
IFPF’s Bodyguarding Division uniquely bridges the security and cinematic industries. Through joint ventures with film production companies, casting agencies, and action directors across Armenia, UAE, and international networks, our federation trains professionals who are not only qualified for real-life executive protection, but also choreographed screen combat and action sequences. This integration positions certified members to gain global exposure and professional contracts in major productions.
