From quantity to quality
Another year has passed. When we prepared our first publication for
the 10th jubilee of IBSSA, we believed that we could describe the
operation and relations of this diverse organisation.
We were wrong. Right after the publication, we felt that we were a
lot more than contained in the publication. This is how it was continued and
let me inform you that we feel that we are short of pages again.
Although we have got a wider outlook than before, there is one thing,
which is clearly obvious, and that is quality change.
I have already indicated in the first issue that state agencies, offi-
cially engaged in this trade looked at non-governmental organisations first as an unwanted small
brother. However, each year we managed to increase our role in areas where the professional state
agencies do not have enough attention, staff or energy. So, this growth was not easy: primarily we
had to increase our professional knowledge and prove our physical strength in various technical
sports competitions, too. The non-governmental organizations provided proof. A lot of interna-
tional trainers taught local trainers in technical courses organised in various countries and mem-
bers of our organisation faced the same load in physical trainings as official athletes in order to have
equal chances in open competitions with professional athletes.
This year we will definitely show what we are capable of, because in October 2006 the first body-
guard world championships will be organised in Hungary. Following several months of prepara-
tions, administrative barriers and natural disasters our original plans have changed and now the
competition is coming to Central Europe, Hungary. We have not organised a world competition like
that before, but we do hope that with a successful start, we can create a tradition in this very com-
plex competition requiring intensive preparations and a lot of knowledge. To develop from many
small national competitions into a large competition for many nations and continents means the
same quality transformation as IBSSA has replaced quantitative development with qualitative
development, referring to the gained international positions indicated in the magazine. IBSSA is
taken seriously these days. The international reputation of our organisation is reflected by the lead-
ing positions of President Popper in international organisations that were not thought of a few
years ago. It is clear that apart from personal merits, the professional quality development of our
own organisation have also contributed to these achievements. Perhaps it is the result of this quality devel-
opment that there is internal competition in several countries, i.e. more and more non-governmental secu-
rity organisations approach us, wishing to share the advantages and positions arising from interna-
tional relations.
We hope that these two publications will help you understand this very wide international
network formed on a non-governmental basis, which is trying to help solve local problems that
cannot be resolved by the state of the relevant country at all or completely, with its own specific
tools and opportunities.

Unfortunately, the IBSSA World
Championships scheduled for Miami will not
be held in the USA due to legal, visa and other
difficulties, but the International Organising
Committee has proposed the city of Sopron as
the new venue of the World Championships
Sopron has already held numerous events,
with a lot of support from the mayor of the city
and local order protection and security agencies.
A lot of entrepreneurs have also recognised
an advantageous advertising opportunity in
supporting the security industry.
The first IBSSA Bodyguard World Champi-
onships will be organised at the end of
October 2006, with individual and team com-
petitions for bodyguards.
Apart from shooting and special driving
exercises, we also plan situational tasks for the
competition.
As numerous other events have already
proven, many people are preparing for the
event and we have received inquiries about the
world championships from all parts of the
world.
Detailed information will be available at
IBSSA website in the second quarter of 2006,
describing the terms and conditions of online
application options as well.
Please turn to Dr. Mikls Varga for any

The operating agenda for the World today com-
prises the twin threats of Crime and Terrorism. While
we continue to tackle traditional crime and public
order concerns, we also have to face the challenges of
combating terrorism and ensuring International
Security. In confronting terrorism, we can ill-afford
to be complacent and let out guard down.
The Jemaah Islamiah (JI) group which is linked
to the Al Qaeda network may have been disrupted
but it continues to pose a real threat to our region-
al security. It is important for us to understand and
appreciate the link between criminal activities and
terrorism. Extremists and terrorist groups are
known to recruit from prisons and exploit criminal
networks. Crime is often used by terrorists as a
means of supporting and funding terrorist activi-
ties. The Madrid train bombings in March 2004
were partially funded by a series of bank robberies
in France. Terrorist organizations are formidable
opponents as they are learning organizations. If we
are not careful, we may just have to face the full
onslaught of these groups.
Terrorism is not new, and even though it has been
used since the beginning of recorded history it can be
relatively hard to define. Terrorism has been described
variously as both a tactic and strategy; a crime and a
holy duty; a justified reaction to oppression and an
inexcusable abomination. Obviously, a lot depends
on whose point of view is being represented.
Terrorism has often been an effective tactic for the
weaker side in a conflict. As an asymmetric form of
conflict, it confers coercive power with many of the
advantages of military force at a fraction of the cost.
Due to the secretive nature and small size of terrorist
organizations, they often offer opponents no clear
organization to defend against or to defer.
Following are some of the terrorist attacks
since September 11, 2001:
Terrorist organizations are truly learning
organizations. From an organization, they
became a movement to survive. As a movement,
it is infinitely more difficult to track them down
as they have widespread popular support and
many sympathizers. We have to be careful to
ensure that terrorists and criminals do not get
together, especially those who have some form of

Twin threats-crime and terrorism
organization. We have to always stay one step
ahead of them.
Now how are we supposed to do this? We have
to adopt a new framework that emphasizes a
security mindset when we deal with criminal
cases. We have to develop a sense of vigilance in
every officer, and be alert to possible security
implications. Even with the best technology and
equipment, it will not be enough to stop terror-
ism unless we carry out policing with the appro-
priate mental models.
We will have to adapt in the way we engage
the community in addressing safety and security
concerns. In tackling the challenges of an increas-
ingly complex and dynamic operating environ-
ment, we cannot work alone. Policing will have to
be part of the entire problem solving process
where multiple agencies, representing various
interests, are involved. Problems can only be
solved through the collaborative efforts of all par-
ties involved, including the Police.
Events in the past few years have underlined
the importance of resilience as we strive towards
our mission in building a safe and secure World.
Since the September 11 attacks in New York and
Washington, some events threw us into unfamil-
iar territory, forcing us to grapple with unprece-
dented issues, and race against time to mitigate
problems which were evolving dynamically.
When we dealt with Asian SARS, the
Indonesian Tsunami disaster or the Pakistan
earthquake, such shocks to our system came
unexpectedly without warning. As an organiza-
tion, we had to react quickly, organize ourselves
and take control of situations outside comfort
zone. We are proud to say that we have shown
our mettle through these challenges.
Another cornerstone of the strategy to counter
terrorist and other criminal threats and the effec-
tive implementation of a graduated response sys-
tem is the provision of reliable and timely intelli-
gence. As terrorists have varied their method of
attack over the years, so also have they improved
their techniques and skills. To receive early warn-
ing of possible attacks, to keep abreast of changing
threats and to remain technically ahead of the ter-
rorist and other criminals capable of unlawful acts,
it is essential that those responsible for security be
discerning consumers of intelligence. Early warn-
ing of threats or possible attacks against the public
are vital, to ensure that all involved agencies are
able to implement preparatory and preventive
measures in a timely and cost effective manner. It
is essential that available resources are effectively
deployed to meet the known threat. It is in this
latter regard that good intelligence is essential.
Ports and airports for instance were obvious tar-
gets and have been secured by the International Law
Enforcement officers. These are targets that the
World anticipates that terrorists will go for. However
it is the soft targets that we should worry about: soft
targets like the hotels and offices. There are so many
of these and we just cant anticipate where the ter-
rorist will be. So establishments like the soft targets
must take proper precautions. At the same time, peo-
ple should not be overly anxious. Life should go on
without too much worrying about terrorism.
Importantly, all must stand united regardless of back-
ground, race and status to combat terrorism.
For example, a terrorist attack may be the fur-
thest thing from your mind when a football
match goes to penalties, but one terrorism expert
thinks the comparison is useful.
Professor Herbert Huppert of Cambridge
University believes the key to coping with an attack
is not unlike that to winning a penalty shootout.
People need to practice the drills and exercises again
and again to remember them. This is how so many
Britons managed to survive the World War II air raids
by escaping to shelters such as underground tube
stations as they had been taught. And why, in con-
trast, many Iraqi civilians, left to their own devices,
died in air strikes during the US led invasion.
People will behave differently depending on the
leadership and the instructions they are given. The
most essential thing is to achieve community
involvement when dealing with terrorism and crime-
a point Singapore authorities have raised in the past
to prepare the public for a possible attack. The best
way to involve the public is for the government to be
as open and truthful as possible about the terrorist
threats. It is only when we understand the psycholo-
gy of the community; we can better equip ourselves
for the consequences of any attack.
In conclusion, in a dynamic and rapidly changing
world, the twin threats of crime and terrorism will
continue to be very real and alive. Therefore, the
cooperation of every citizen together with the
police force is essential and vital to our survival. No
matter what the challenges that lie ahead and what
the future holds for Global arena, I hope we will not
give up hope and lose our mettle in our battle
against Crime and Terrorism.

His Most Eminent Highness Dom Lorenzo OSB
Metropolitan Primate of the American Catholic Orthodox
Church and Grand Master of the Sovereign Order of Saint
John of Jerusalem, Knights of Malta, Federation of
Autonomous Priories died on 14th December 2005 in a New
Yorks Hospital, in the sequence of a massive brain hemor-
rhagic stroke.
Born in Madrid, Spain, on the 15th of May 1939, Lorenzo
Abruedo Romero made his studies in the catholic seminar
and later, in 1973, went to America where he joined the
American Catholic Orthodox Church as a clergyman. Later
he became successively a Bishop, Archbishop and Primate of
his Church.
In 1994 His Beatitude Dom Lorenzo OSB, as
Metropolitan Primate of the Church, succeeded His
Eminence Archbishop Count Michael Paul Peter De Valich
who had been for near 30 years leading the Federation of
Autonomous Priories and, on 22nd January of the same
year, the Grand Council of the Federation in a meeting at La
Valletta, Malta, reconfirmed Dom Lorenzo as successor to
the vacant Great Magisterial See of the Federation.
During his 11 years as the Head and Chief of State of the
Federation, first as Regent and recently as Grand Master, His
Most Eminent Highness Dom
Lorenzo preformed brilliant
work, conducing it to new stage
of growth and development. In
fact it was under the regency of
Dom Lorenzo that several coun-
tries recognized the Federation as
a Sovereign State and its net-
work of Embassies was created to execute the humanitarian
program of actions of the Order. It was also in this period
that the Order grew in number and quality of knights and
expanded to other countries such as Hungary, Angola,
Romania, Guinea-Bissau, Czech Republic, Portugal, South
Africa, Latvia, and Israel among other, and that new institu-
tions of humanitarian nature, as FEMERAID were created.
Dom Lorenzo, the Grand Master, the Grand Knight has
departed, and after his departure the Knighthood in general,
and the Federation in particular, suffered a great loss.
The Man has departed but he did not die, for only those
who are forgotten die, and the Memory of Dom Lorenzo will
stay forever alive in all those who have known him.
Requiescat in Pacem.

The commemoration on behalf of the Sovereign Order
of Saint John of Jerusalem, Knights of Malta,
Federation of Autonomous Priories was held by Sir
Alexander OSZTER, while 8 Knights and Dames were
standing as honorary guards by the coffin.
H.E. Dr. John KARSZY-KULIN (GBR) Grand Master
of the International Knightly Order of St. George held
his farewell speech as well, while 2 Knights of the Order,
who are also members of
IBSSA, saluted at the cof-
fin.
Dr. Eriks GRINBERGS
(LAT) Chairman of the
Legal Department of IBSSA,
Knight of Malta came to
Hungary in order to attend the funeral.
Sir Csaba KIRLY, KM invited all the present IBSSA
members, knights of the Sovereign Order of Saint John of
Jerusalem, Knights of Malta, F.A.P. and also the knights of
the St. George Order to have lunch in Szekszrd.
IBSSA plans to start a John Dora commemorative
medallion and initiated to establish the JOHN
DORA Foundation in order to support and help the
training of talented young bodyguards and to reward
successful bodyguards. Mrs. Katalin DORA PAPP
daughter of Sir John DORA was requested to accept
the position of being the chairman of the Board of
trustees of the foundation.

Eriks Grinbergs, IBSSA co-ordinator in
Latvia, chairman of the IBSSA Legal
Department, legal advisor of the Latvian
Ministry of Social Affairs, became known
within IBSSA in 2002 through his merits in
the successful organisation of the Martial Arts
competitions held in that year. Exactly three
years later, in the middle of November, we
talked to him about the results of this interna-
tional event for Latvia.
It has brought success and recognition, answered
the young lawyer. I do not mean myself primarily,
but our Latvian organisation. I do not mean it as crit-
icism, but between 1997 and 2002 none of IBSSA
leaders visited Riga, but since then the situation has
changed. That event was primarily dominated by
sports, as the best competitors of 12 federations of
Eastern fighting arts met in Riga. They gave presenta-
tions and lectures, competitions were organised and
both professionals and simple interested people dis-
covered IBSSA. This was the event which brought
together Latvian sports federations of various fighting
sports which had been working against each other
before, but then they realised that the main issue was
not which federation had the leading role as they had
mutual interests. IBSSA was an important catalyst in
this recognition. The audience, including official
organisations too, began to inquire about IBSSA activ-
ities. I dare say that the image of our association has
strengthened after Martial Arts in Riga.
What is the situation of civil security organisations in
Latvia?
More and more civil organisations are engaged in
security activities in Latvia, but their operation is dif-
ficult because the legal norms clearly defining the
framework of their activities are not fully elaborated
yet. The applicable EU norms have not been ratified
in Latvia either. We have only been a member of the
European Union for one year, our country has to ful-
fil a lot of law harmonisation tasks and this example
is one of them. We received a lot of assistance from
IBSSA for elaborating internal guidelines, which
makes our work easier. Naturally, there are organisa-
tions which do quite a lot for building security organ-
isations and relating sports organisations. Such an
example is PENTANO company, where the president
Genadij Seibutis and the advisor, Vladislav Kirilovskij
with Hungarian sports relations have very significant
international experiences. They contribute quite a lot
to the development of IBSSA organisation in Latvia.
What is your relationship with the other Baltic states?
There are primarily sports relations, mainly
through individual athletes or clubs. As far as I know,
the other Baltic States also phase similar problems as
Latvia. If we can help each other with our experiences,
hopefully we can solve our currently existing legal
problems very quickly.
A bodyguard from Riga was awarded the diploma of
best bodyguard in the traditional international training
called SEC-tember. It could be a good sign for you for the
First Bodyguard World Championship to be held in Florida
next year. Are you training for this competition?
Naturally, we intend to participate in this competi-
tion. However, we need internal competitions first to
select those who will represent us in the world champi-
onship. Unfortunately, we have no experience in selec-
tion, therefore we rely on the advice of Russian organi-
sations of IBSSA with international experience in the
professional preparation for the world championship.
Dr. Vladislav Kirilovsky, Regional
Representative of IBSSA for Baltic Republics:
Strengthening the IBSSA organisation in the Baltic
States is an important part of my work. Of the three
countries, the organisation is strongest in Latvia, and
as a result of my work, approximately 90 new mem-
bers have joined the association. I am pleased to say
that the members of the Latvian association
include the minister of the former ministry of educa-
tion and sciences and the minister of the ministry of
interior. Unfortunately, no similar data are available in
Lithuania or Estonia yet, although our members
and organisations are active there too. In addition,
Vladimiras Lisicynas country representative works in
Lithuania, who was awarded the title of Instructor of
the Year of 2004 in t his years Congress. I am happy
to say that leaders of various Russian and Ukrainian
security organisations have become members of
IBSSA in Latvia
We must establish legal norms

When a foreign company chooses a Russian company for
partnership, it is useful to check how this future partner
functions. Of course, it is not indifferent from whom to
receive such information. Moreover, there is also a security
on daily basis, especially in decision making.
There is a company in Moscow which assists in making
reasonable and valid decisions. The General Director of
the Management Information Systems is Victor
Petrovich Petukhov.
- Please, introduce your company what is
its business, for what purposes was it estab-
lished?
- Management Information Systems was estab-
lished in 1999 as a system integrator of the software
assigned for decision making support. We engaged in
development and installation Situation Centers,
Information and Analysis Centers, Competitive
Intelligence Centers.
- What does competitive intelligence mean?
- Competitive intelligence means the legal accu-
mulation of the data and information about com-
petitors due to know how do they work, what are
theirs operating procedures and to use these methods
in own company. The part of the competitive intel-
ligence is the benchmarking.
Competitive intelligence covers all methods,
forms of activities, human resources, etc. But we
have a more global approach. For these solutions we
produce special software, but we ourselves do not
engage in competitive intelligence procedures except
some special contracts we carry out.
We also supply Situation Centers for high author-
ities Presidents, Ministers, CEO of big companies.
These Centers could be in different forms depending
on the client requirements: Situation Modeling
Complexes; Complexes for Strategic Decision
Support; Information and Analysis Centers (for
example, of the Minister); or Competitive
Intelligence Centers of big entity. This is the mean-
ing and intent of our business.
- Do you work for Russian or foreign
clients or for both of them? Who is the
main customer?
- We work in Russian market actively since our
partners generally are
the government enti-
ties. Two Situation
Centers already func-
tion in Governor s
Administration in
Sakha-Yakutia, Irkutsk.
We have a solution in
Belarus; work with some Russia regions such
Vologda, Penza Region (Central Russia),
Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan.
We also will take part in a tender for the supply
of Situation Center to the Governor of Tiyumen.
- Is there any oil?
- There is oil, gas, many other mineral resources. In
Tiyumen they construct their own Situation Center.
As long as the client is a state, it is necessary for us to
take part in tender together with other companies.
Although we are probably the only company which
distributes such a commercial-off-the-shelf product
and have successful implementation. We supply the
product and by its means the full multilateral moni-
toring of mass media plus analysis of information
received form different sources are fulfilled.
- How are your activities known? Is some-
body searching for you or writing to you or
vice versa?
- This is a complicated question. This kind of busi-
ness is rather close. In a general case we do not adver-
tise widely except our Web-site on the Internet. And
mailing is strictly direct. We work with the client
state and they simply announce the tender for sup-
ply of certain items, for example, supply of a
Situation Center for the Governor. We monitor this
information and in accordance with the law we send
our documentation and take part in the tender.
- Concerning foreign countries, now we actively
cooperate with the South-East region: Malaysia,
Indonesia, Philippines. From other part we work
with CIS countries, as I said, Administration of
President of Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, and
Belarus. Another region is the Middle East. There we
have contact with Saudi Arabian authorities and
have proposed them a special center for security of
Hajj (pilgrimage). We offer software to guarantee the
Business and security
IBSSA official publication 2006

security of the pilgrimage process. This is a huge soft
and hard complex which allows to monitor the
situation how many people visit pilgrimage sites,
for what period of time, what happened during the
pilgrimage terrorist attacks, or if you probably have
heard about the breakdown of the Jamarat bridge
this tragedy happened because there was wrong
direction of crowd. We elaborate the solution how to
avoid crisis situation, how to dispose security forces,
ambulance, crossing points. This solution we pre-
sented to the Saudi authorities.
- So, it is like pyramid, built from the infor-
mation and on the top of it is an answer on
specific question?
- Yes. The basis is the information. We construct-
ed our software with the simple module design: at
the bottom there is a common database where all the
information enters - it doesn't matter in what form
text, audio, video, internet-files, any files existed.
- You said the basis. And then?
- After that we deliver the modules. They are like
bricks. These bricks are settled on the top of the
common database with the number needed by the
customer. For example, we supply to the Governor a
module of electoral preferences, a module of social
health of population, a security module, a module of
economy etc. The Governor chooses several mod-
ules and we deliver them to the Governor s
Situation Center.
- How many people work in this project?
- Not so many. About 20 people are involved in the
work. Plus outsourcing in different cities, it became
much cheaper.
- Are you tracing the data?
- We do not trace, we have mathematic models,
which allow showing all the information space. On
huge screens the customer observes consolidated
information about what is happening in his region
(ministry, company etc.). From a visualization point
of view we propose a very wide range of visualiza-
tion tools. For example, Governor of Sakha-Yakutia
ordered visualization of the situation in the form of
colored barometers where the situation is imaging
interactively in colors from normal green to dan-
gerous red, and the arrow points the evolution of
the situation. Of course, when the pointer moves to
red the Governor immediately calls the experts, the
staff and asks what happened. After that he or his
expert can trace down by indexes and other criteria
and see what happened exactly and who is responsi-
ble for the formation of the crisis situation.
- You make the diagnosis like a doctor..?
- We forecast, besides we forecast, the situation by
way of a modeling experiment for certain period ahead,
for instance, for a year. The experiment itself could be
an extrapolation where the curve is moving up or
down and we can predict with some accuracy that the
situation would progress in a certain direction.
We also carry out variation experiments where we
ask What happens if..? The group of experts uses
our tool - and we have some sliders as in equalizer
and move this slider trying to answer, for instance,
what happens if the government lowers the dona-
tions for the some stratum of population or makes
any other change.
- And will you offer the ready-made solu-
tion for them?
- We give them technique, methods, procedures so
that they will watch the situation forward and from
different sides.
- Do they listen to your advice during the
desicion making?
- Oh yes, the staff in Irkutsk, Belorussia, Sakha-
Yakutia and others all the use our solutions.
- The President can have many advisers,
they give him wonderful suggestions, but he
doesnt believe them
- Understand your question and try to explain it in
practice. The adviser is an engaged person. We collect
the information from a wide range of sources includ-
ing experts and use special tools and methods to level
the experts approach. Besides, we give them a tool to
use their own methods without any changes in soft,
i.e. without additional use of the programmers.
- Does generalization of your advices repre-
sent an objective solution?
- There is no objective solution; there is a solution
close to objective. In reality there is no objectiveness
as soon as there is no truth. There is something close
to the truth. We offer our solutions, however the
final decision makes the chief executive, VIP. We only
give him a tool, learn his experts. But he himself
bears responsibility for the decisions.
- This is a big responsibility indeed! Or vice
IBSSA official publication 2006
12
versa, your organisation doesnt bear respon-
sibility since the decision makes other per-
son?
- As you understand, in such a hard case the prac-
tice and the methods are very important. The first
Center was installed at 1999 to the President of
Ukraine Mr. Kuchma (we have another companys
name but the same development engineers and con-
structors). At this period our methods showed 97%
hit that in general was incredible. The situation was
the same: we answered on the inquiry from the
President election authorities, whether it is necessary
or not to spend of 20 millions to increase his rating.
And he asks to our Center this question
- Not so little money
- Yes, this is a huge amount! He said, if I throw in
this money? We begin to compute on our models and
the answer that it is not necessary. If you push this
money to the election the situation wouldnt change.
There were a lot of competitors, about 15 people
We said whether you make it or not, it wouldnt be
better. He saved the money, his rating became the
same, he won, and our solution showed efficiency.
- That means this method was right and the
usage was so right.
- Yes. Usually exit-polls, interrogations, ratings
gave less accuracy.
- Do you penetrate on the market easily?
- No. It is hard to conclude the contract. Our
product could be lobbied through, that is the way some
lobbyists are involved. These are high ranking peo-
ple on the level of ministers, authorities in adminis-
trations of the presidents who are interested in
making our product work. You see, they will work
themselves on our Center.
- How did you meet IBSSA and what oppor-
tunities can you see for cooperation?
Some years ago I was introduced to IBSSA man-
agement by Mr. Morozov, IBSSA Representative in
Russia.
After a while I offered to IBSSA the creation of a
special information system that links all interested
organisations members of IBSSA like a net on the
basis of our software. This system can collect infor-
mation and conduct analyses in the interests of the
clients of these organisations and theirs clients. This
system can fulfil inquiries from different countries
and can model and simulate political, economic,
social, security, aniterrorist problems of these coun-
tries. The Center itself can be settled in the Central
Europe - Czech Republic or Hungary.
I believe that the Special Analysis and Information
Center acting under the auspices of IBSSA the
most authoritative and prestigious association
IBSSA Slovenia is at first glance a small partner in a big
family of IBSSA organization. But importance is not
measured with size. With all activities, education and
line of work we contribute to regional stability and
security.
Although Slovenia is a member of the EU and NATO
that does not mean we can leave our security only in
their hands. IBSSA Slovenia filled gaps in the arias of
private and personal security that are most vulnerable.
That is private safety. Our bodyguard training centre is
an official IBSSA representative for region of ex
Yugoslavia (Croatia, Federation of Bosnia and
Herzegovina, Serbia and Montenegro, Macedonia).
This means that all candidates for bodyguards must go
through very hard training and education accepted and
approved by IBSSA. It was founded in February 2002
under the leadership of Mr. Bogdan Vukosavljevic,
MA Security and Terrorism. For the past four years he
has been chief instructor for VIP tactics and security in
IBSSA training centre Slovenia and other centres
around Europe. More than hundred bodyguards from
different countries graduated in our centre. Most of
them are successful in their business. Requests for our
bodyguards are high. They are known to be very pro-
fessional and well trained. Our costumers are usually
high profile persons such as politicians, actors and
singers. In the past few years we organized several
bodyguards courses in one year. In 2006 we will organ-
ize five basic level courses in March, May, June,
October and November. Advanced level courses will be
in April and October.

The 10th Congress of the International
Bodyguard and Security Services
Association was held in Zlin, the head office
of IBSSA CZ on 19 March 2005. The Jubilee
Congress was attended by nearly 70 repre-
sentatives of 30 countries, although heavy
snow created difficult travelling conditions
for those going to the Congress.
The IBSSA courses, the shooting competition
and the seminars organised for Sunday were all
held in Graddoland on 18 March. The
Bodyguard Situational World Championship
organised for 20 March was cancelled because of
the snow and few entries which were perhaps
related to the snow.
Professor George Popper, President of the
Association opened the 10th Congress of
IBSSA. He announced that numerous high-
ranking officials and IBSSA representatives
welcomed the participants of the Congress in
letters, including

for the last ten years. He presented the Official
IBSSA Jubilee Publication, containing the
most important documents of the
Association from the beginning. All materi-
als and official documents are public and may be
viewed on www.ibssa.org website, and the rep-
resentatives of the Congress also received the

On the 20th September (Tuesday) at 18.00 the Official

Headquarters of Adyliget Law Enforcement College. Prof.
George POPPER, GCKM (HUN) President of IBSSA wel-
comed all participants and introduced the Master Teachers,

Who has not seen hundreds of thousands of people
covering the place, madly cheering pop starts? Who
cannot list sports event where 50-80,000 fanatic foot-
ball fans give voice to disagreement with the referees
decision? In some places, the crowds are controlled by
professional work; in others, things may turn into a
tragedy. Our magazine asked the professional man-
ager of Hungarys largest event security company
In-Kal Security to summarise the basic concepts,
principals and rules along which they work.
When organising and ensuring security for
events, some basic concepts and professional
and legal regulations have to be made clear to be
able to work smoothly and successfully.
We talk about an event when some sports,
cultural, political or social event or gathering is
held organised by some structured community,
association, public or civil organisation or pri-
vate individual, where different people meet for
some purpose just for once, periodically or on a
constant basis.
Event security means the total of measures
and activities taken to ensure smooth realisation
of the event and to protects the life and proper-
ty of the participants.
In retrospect it can be seen that private
bodyguards and security services have emerged
directly before the political regime change
among Hungarian security businesses and have
undergone a stage of quick development concur-
rently with privatisation after the political
regime change.
The role of politics in the development
of these security services
The situation after the democratic transfor-
mation played and important role in the quick
development of event security as a branch of
services, when the political change started to
take place in Hungary together with the so-
called street politics that accompanied it. This
made it absolutely necessary to provide modern
and efficient event security, which was not
based on violence. At the same time, in further
development of the experience gained the devel-
opment of event security as a branch of security
services started, and has emerged as one of the
leading branches of the trade by today.
Ever since events have been held, there has
always been a need for supervisors, organisers or
a staff or organisers whose traditional, classi-
cal organisational tasks have not changed.
Today, the events that accommodate hundreds
of thousands of people regardless of their char-
acter or purpose cannot make do without the
well-trained professionals who are prepared to
ensure that the event runs smoothly and the
participants are not disturbed.
The role of private security services (organis-
ers) will never be the same as the polices law
enforcement role, partly due to their powers and
partly due to the lack of authorisation granted
in legislation.
Security services may perform their tasks on
the basis of and in compliance with the provi-
sions of Act IV of 1998; they are not low
enforcers but only civilian organisers perform-
ing traditional organiser tasks.
Based on the current regulations, there must
be at least 1 organiser employed per 100 partici-
pants at the event.
Private security services may not take over the
polices role at events as the powers of security
guards are limited and do not include statutory
powers; and the other hand, in the course of per-
forming a task jointly with a police officer, they
enjoy increase legal protection as a person sup-
porting am official person, and control powers
are also increased.
Co-operation between private security
services and the police is indispensable when
ensuring the security of events. The tasks of pri-
vate security services cannot be rigidly distin-
guished from police tasks at the entrances to the
event venue. Where hundreds or thousands of
participants are present, the behaviour of the
crowd needs to be controlled within the

framework defined by law and compliance with
the conditions for participation must be ensured.
It is necessary to have a police officer taking
part in the work, who may take the measures
and follow the procedures of a required extent,
exercising his powers, such as:
security services may not take away prohibit-
ed equipment or items particularly dangerous
for public security from participant; instead,
they may refer the person together with the
item to the police officer in order to be able to
take further measures,
security guards may not check the identity of,
or proceed against, people who commit wilful
vandalism but may retain such persons until
the police officer arrives, after which they
pass the person over for the purpose of the
procedure.
The basic pillar for successful event security is
fair and good co-operation with the police and
organisers in the framework of which tasks are
clearly distinguished and the extent and scope of
responsibilities is clarified.
The purpose of event security is to ensure
smooth realisation of events, to screen and keep
away unauthorised persons, to warrant the safety
of persons and property of the participants, to
safeguard the event location, to prevent vandal-
ism, too protect public area, the environment and
nature, as well as to prevent any attempts at dis-
order, harnessing the persons creating disorder and
to detach and remove such persons from the event
with the help of official persons.
As regards the types of events, they may be
diverse: cultural, sport, political, economic, military
Exhibits in the
Hooligan Museum
events or events related to family events, demon-
strations, marches, religious ceremonies, religious
processions.
By venue of the event, we can talk about
events to be held outdoors, indoors, in closed facil-
ities, in private areas, public areas or private areas
open for public traffic.
What is a civilian security service
empowered for?
Before the service tasks begin, the field staff
has to be briefed when the specific post, task and
the method of keeping contact are defined in
accordance with the security plan, the required
equipment and tools are handed out, outfits and
looks are checked, conduct to be shown concern-
ing the audience at the event is defined, informa-
tion about the event is provided and stand by peri-
ods are defined.
Security check of the location: investigating
the condition of the stage, the pulpit or playing field
or sports filed, seats, escape roots to emergency exits
are checked, and are furnished with appropriate
markings, fire protection check, checking for explo-
sives, verification of the operability of light and
sound equipment, testing of technical equipment
for keeping contact, checking of parking lots.
Security guards are authorised to conduct
checks, check clothing and luggage of people enter-
ing the event.
If the event is private, people may enter only
based on a list of names or invitation cards provid-
ed by the Client, after conducting any other
checks defined by the Client.
In case events that may be visited with entry
tickets, the purchase of the entry ticket constitutes
a valid contract between the even organiser and
the buyer based on which the organiser defines the
compliance with to these rules must be ensured at
the event venue. If the ticket owner fails to meet
the rules, entry may be refused. In such events, the
entrance procedure starts by validating the ticket
and control (checking authorisation to enter).
Ticket control is followed by the first stage of
security check. This includes the checking of cloth-
ing and luggage as an activity (security guards may
not search persons).
The checking of clothing may include no more
than clothing, items, fixed on the body and lug-
gage or bags carried by people. The check shall be
conducted by security personnel of the same gen-
der as the person being checked.
If any person is spotted possessing any item
dangerous for public security on entry, the person
must be handed over to the police so that it can
take the appropriate measures. If there is no police
officer at the event, entry must be refused.
We have been providing security for events
attracting several hundreds of thousands of visi-
tors such as Sziget Festival, Budapest Parade,
T-Mobile Concerts or the sports events held at
Pusks Ferenc stadium, which accommodate a sev-
eral tens of thousands of viewers, with the help of
the theoretical and professional concepts and legal
regulations described above, with the help of

Bodily search
Bomb security and exploitation tasks repre-
sent one of the least regulated areas of the
Hungarian civil security profession, because
even at present the bomb disposal activities on
motorways and in institutions, bomb security
tasks related to events are performed in the civil
sector by ex-service and retired bomb disposal
experts and security experts trained in the civil
sector with a silent approval of authorities. The
state, as the legislator, has been struggling to
come up with legislation for this area for more
than ten years now, although the social needs
create more demand than may be covered with
the bomb disposal staff of the Ministry of
Interior and the Army, especially based on the
increased number of bomb scares in the recent
period. The impact of bomb threats spectacular-
ly demonstrates weaknesses of the society, cre-
ating chaos and panic among authorities and
the population. On the other hand, the success-
ful explosions highlight the success of perpetra-
tors because they make the headlines in mass
communications. The advantages of explosions
for terrorists may be offset with active involve-
ment and deliberate information of security
services, civil organisations and the population.
The brief historical review of bomb disposal
and bomb detection activities in Hungary
reveals the expectations of the society in this
area. Following the Second World War, the First
Independent Bomb Disposal and Mine
Detection Battalion of the army had a national
and exclusive competence for the disposal of
military explosives. In addition to these tasks,
they were also responsible for securing
Hungarian and foreign individuals during their
stay in Hungary in terms of bombs. The activi-
ties had to be separated because of an increasing
number of tasks and terrorist threats: the army
is still responsible for the disposal of military
explosives in public and private areas arising
from military activities and negligent handling,
while the police have been assigned with the
task of managing improvised bombs and stan-
dard military instruments relating to crimes. In
addition, the police are also responsible for the
bomb investigation at celebrations, events and
in threatened buildings, disposal of detected
bombs, expert analysis followed by destruction.
Following an increase in the number of activ-
ities, at the end of the 1980s trained bomb
researchers emerged within the framework of
the police forces and following the systemic
change in 1989 the number of departments
engaged in bomb disposal, bomb detection and
similar activities appeared in more and more
police units. Act IV of 1998 on bodyguards and
security guards in companies as well as private
detectives could not regulate bomb detection
activities in the civil sector either, thus the
Professional Chamber of Bodyguards, Security
Guards and Private Detectives classified bomb
disposal on motorways and in institutions as
another activity.
Several bomb disposal and bomb detection
experts died or obtained permanent injuries
from bomb disposal activities on motorways
and institutions due to lack of legal regulations
in recent years. The bomb detection tasks of
bodyguards and security guards were rejected by
the society due to lack of basic knowledge,
because the irregularity of inadequate imple-
mentation violated the intimacy of private indi-
viduals. Only bomb detection activities performed

Bomb safety in the civil sector
Fatal accidents due to lack of regulations
Mr. Csaba Kertsz
within the framework of the police imposes a
hazard on the safety of society, because the
increased terrorist threats, erroneous bomb
scares lead to a panic among the population and
authorities. The authorities are unable to per-
form the increased bomb detection tasks with
its existing staff and therefore they follows the
good example of some European Union Member
States (e.g., Austria, etc.), and assigns civil secu-
rity services to perform such bomb detection
tasks in co-operation with authorities. The EU
Member States have recognised the destructive
effect of terrorism on the society and will sup-
port research creating a basis for the fight
against terrorism and protection of citizens
with EUR 250 million from 2007. The European
Union considers that terrorist attacks per-
formed with explosives, chemical, biological,
radiological or nuclear substances in public
transport or in certain parts of cities represent
realistic threats. The European Commission
therefore has decided to support all research
plans as a result of which the terrorist combat-
ing system will become more efficient and effec-
tive, security experts can recognise real terrorist
threats and protect their citizens and democracy
in Europe more effectively.
Naturally, the responsibility of civil security
services in their bomb detection activities is an
issue among the increasing number of tasks as
certain hazardous materials may be taken out of
the control of authorities. Experiences of the EU
Member States indicate that with adequate
laws governing bomb detection activities and
close co-operation between the civil security
service and authorities can lead to good results
in detection and research of bomb scares, reliev-
ing authorities from a huge burden in this field.

In November 2005, Gza Halaska and Mikls
Varga took part in the 46th INEOA Congress
(International Narcotic Enforcement Officers
Association) where they officially announced
the establishment of Hungarian Narcotic
Enforcement Officers Association (HNEOA).
The main subject of this congress and the
training following it included the role of bio
and narco terrorism in the world and effective
methods of action.
Top technology in explosives research
IBSSA experts attended a demonstration
show of an equipment detecting explosives
and hidden arms, an absolute novelty in the
world, in Lisbon, in February.
The demonstration was given by Sniffex
company, operating in the United States
and its Portuguese partner,
Chelworth Investments
Ltd.
Dr. Abel Lacerda, IBSSA
member, owner of the
brand representation,
explained that the tiny
Sniffex explosives and
arms detector, fitting even
in a human palm, is capable of detecting
various explosives and fire arms even at a
distance of 15-30 metres, even if they are
behind a metal plate or a wall. The device
detects ions released from explosives and
firearms.
Several tests were demon-
strated to the leading offi-
cials of our association.
Members of the brand repre-
sentation added that newer,
even more sensitive versions
of the tiny, therefore unno-
ticeable explosive detector
will soon be available too.

Further Training in Sopron
The joint further training course of IBSSA and Folda
International Bodyguard Training Centre was organised in
Sopron, on the Hungarian side of the Austrian-Hungarian
border, during the last weekend in June. Participants arrived
from IBSSA countries to take place in special shooting situa-
tion and combat training. In the programme, bodyguards
completed an extreme physical, 11 km forest course, during
which they were exposed to regular attacks, forcing them to
escape. The other special event of the programme was organ-
ised by Lake Fert, where students had to rescue protected
people who had fallen into the water and took part in a
water rescue training. Senior trainers:

For whom only perfect is acceptable
Renshi Istvn KELEMEN (7 dan), one of the founding
members of IBSSA, has large international reputation. When
we sat down to talk after a dan exam, I asked him about
fighting with a stick and knife. I wanted to know how he beat
the world and how he could disable a steel-muscled meat
colossus in just moments. My questions focused on fight, and
I soon had to realise that we were talking about beliefs and
ancient philosophy. What was really interesting is that even
then we remained in our basic subject, martial arts.
Istvn Kelemen founded the first private dojo club in
Budapest from a military fighting club at the beginning
of the 1980s. It became popular very fast. Young peo-
ple queued to get into the club and become members.
Many young people learnt about the
basis of martial arts and later became
known in this kind of sports or in
other sports. Even wrestling Olympic
champions visited the club.
Istvn Kelemen learnt and taught.
He visited the most reputable jitsu
workshops of the world and learnt
his actions from the best. In the
meantime, as a civilian, he also
taught the elite group of the police
force for hand-to-hand fighting. He
was a stuntman, became a high-qual-
ity security expert and founded
Testr Kft. in the summer of 1989.
The company has been securing facil-
ities and performed special personal protection tasks
ever since. While building his own business, naturally
he did not neglect jiu jitsu either, because it was also
part of business. He was the president of the
Hungarian federation for a long time, then he resigned
and since then he has only been engaged in the profes-
sional issues and techniques. It is mainly due to his
huge contribution that Hungarian jiu jitsu fighters are
mentioned together with the Finns. It is also the result
of his impact that in Hungary approximately 600
adults train regularly in 30 clubs, and 300-400 children
compete in a childrens competition. He is the chair-
man of the Hungarian Dan College (this position is
always held by the Hungarian citizen with the highest
degree achieved).
I teach and exercise martial arts and not ballet
JJ styles compete with each other all over the
world. Mr. Kelemen supports the full contact branch,
with completely individual solutions. He believes if
we know the physical side of the fight, for victory we
must know the best technique of all styles and we
have to find the right method for beating attacks, i.e.,
defence. He thinks force is most important, and
believes in 100 % technique. In his opinion if a blow
is not accurate, it is bad. However, those believing in
a different style and approach still accept and consid-
er good a 99 per cent blow, remaining with the
expression of percentages. Kelemen sees himself
proven with the practice of the professional world
where his philosophy is applied.
The terror combating organisations
also operate with the same
approach. This is what he taught to
the members of the Russian state
security organisation as well as in
Israel.
Many people are engaged, and
perform well, in this branch of
martial arts. Kelemen thinks
that among the good ones the
winner will not think in panels
and apart from physical training
will also conduct intellectual
trainings. He believes that mar-
tial is medication in motion.
He can list examples indicating that knowledge
of archaic and sacral literature helps a lot in the
perfection of movements. Intellectual and phys-
ical forces make a system work. And then he
asks me a moral question too: if we manage to
achieve perfect movement and man is unbeat-
able, what guarantees that this knowledge will
only serve good? He finds his answer in belief
when he says that spiritual peace can be
achieved through the purity of the soul. If this is
the motivating factor, the movement will be
implemented well too, guaranteeing that forces
are not used for bad purposes. This is how we
have got from suffocating and kicking to believ-
ing. Would you ever have thought it?
Folda International Bodyguard Training Centre opened two new offices and training centres
on top of its existing eight facilities last year. International bodyguard training now takes place
in New Zealand - Mount Manganui, and in Sweden, Malm, too. The future plans of Folda
International Ltd. include opening of further training centres in the Ukraine, Serbia and
Belgium. The long-term plans also contain centres on the South American continent.

New training centres in Europe and New Zealand
A traditional international training camp
was organised on Lake Balaton, the
Hungarian sea, with the participation of 30
foreign and approximately 100 Hungarian
jitsukas. The Hungarian Ju Jitsu Federation has
invited the traditionally strong trainers staff for
the one-week training camp. As the Martial Arts
Magazine, a special periodical published in the
Hungarian language also stated, during the train-
ing camp, sensei Istvn Kelemen (7 dan), chair-
man of the dan section of the Hungarian Ju Jitsu
Federation, tested a sportsman in an exam in
front of the leading trainers of the Hungarian dan
section and world association. Sndor Fvesi,
instructor of Hdmezvsrhely, passed the
exam successfully (3 dan).
During the camp, the following masters and
guests passed on their knowledge to participants:
Vlado Schmidt (Germany), ju jitsu (10 dan),
Giacomo Spartaco Bertoletti (Italy),
WJJKO president, ju jitsu (8 dan WJJKO, 9 dan JJIF),
Dr. Rony Kluger (Israel, 8 dan), goju kai tradi-
tional Okinawa karate master,
Auvo Niiniketo (7 dan), president of the Finnish Ju
Jitsu Federation and founder of hokutoryu ju jitsu,
Gnter Painter (Austria), ju jitsu (5 dan), tanto
jutsu and kobudo master,
Eyal Cohen (Israel) WJJKO (4 dan).
At the end of the camp, the leadership of the
world association and the Hungarian dan section
awarded Istvn Kelemen master, founder of the
Hungarian Ju Jitsu Federation and chairman of
the dan section the 7th dan Renshi degree, and
Attila Kovcs, president of the Hungarian Ju Jitsu
Federation, the 5th dan Shihan degree.

Excellent year of activities within the fruitful cooperation of
IBSSA and the International Budo Academy.
Some years ago IBSSA and the International Budo
Academy signed an official agreement on cooperation.
This cooperation turned into some major flourishing
active cooperation during the last year.
We started two new faculties: the first is the
Faculty of Security Sciences and the latest one
is the Faculty of Alternative Medicine. We also
run some very successful clinics and training pro-
grams in USA, Holland, Israel and of course in
Hungary. IBA signed an agreement with the
European Crime Prevention Institute under
the leadership of Prof. Ferenc TTH .
Within the framework of this agreement we run a
series of very successful seminars in Budapest,with
highly professional and famous lecturers from Israel
in the field of Physical Security Systems, International
Terror and the latest one is in Psychology. The
Academic courses proved to be a great success.
In Holland we put a firm ground under our activi-
ties with close cooperation of two of our excellent
leaders Dr. Eric Van De Wall, Dean of the
Faculty of Alternative Medicine of IBA and Dr.
Frank Philipoom the Head of the IBA Chamber
in Holland.
During 2005 we held three major events of Official
Academic award ceremonies: one in Holland and one
in Budapest and a very special one in the USA.
During the 2005 AAU National Karate
Championships IBA awarded Joe B. MIRZA AAU leg-
endary president and IBSSA International Sport
Federation Executive President the Degree of Doctor
of Philosophy - Budo Education and Leadership.
We are looking ahead to very active years of devel-
opment to come.
In the framework of the IBSSA - International
Sport Federation activities the President,
Prof. Rony KLUGER has been invited to teach a
very successful seminar in Cape Town. High ranked
Martial Art Teachers joined the activities which
included training and a series of lectures.
During the visit Prof. KLUGER met with local
leaders of the Security Industry and visited local
Police HQ. The visit had an excellent media cover.

Establishment of the National Mounted Services
Association
The National Mounted Services Association,
under the short name of National Mounted Guard
was established in Budapest on 5 November 2005.
The purpose of the new, non-political NGO is to
provide social support to crime prevention, public
order, environmental and home defence in the
form of non-armed activities.
The association was established around the main
concept that if hobby riders always ride cross-coun-
try, why cant they do it in a target oriented fash-
ion. Horse riding has become a fashion, almost a
mass sport in todays Hungary. Riding mills keep
growing around cities, offering sufficient riding
tuition as well as organised cross-country activities
for their riders. Riders regularly visit land and sub-
urban areas where order or environmental protec-
tion agencies do not go at all or only very rarely. By
co-ordinating cross-country rides of riding mills
and setting targets, the riding sport can provide
direct assistance in managing the above problems.
Riding mills came up with a suggestion primari-
ly in Budapest agglomeration whereby the cross-
country rides of their riders should be connected
with environmental protection or land protection
tasks on a particular settlement, connecting pleas-
ure with use. The National Mounted Guard oper-
ates based on the objective of co-ordinating these
ideas and intentions.
On the basis of the environmental problems, the
opportunity is obvious: local police forces and pre-
vention patrols can monitor mainly urban proper-
ties, but the countryside cannot be monitored by
patrolling with a vehicle. Suburban areas are
exposed to various types of risks, the most consid-
erable of which include theft and robbery in week-
end houses, farms and estates on remote locations,
theft of produce and fruit on production land and
orchards, illegal mass waste dumping around larger
settlements and the spread of ragweed.
Consequently, the most important task of the
Association is to support the activities of defence
police and security agencies, national guarding
services and municipalities operating in the territo-
ry of the Republic of Hungary, in co-operation
with all public organisations and NGOs, as well as
security companies interested in crime prevention,
as well as citizens striving for creation, mainte-
nance and protection of security.
A further objective of the Mounted Guard is to
provide a technical training and knowledge base for
various mounted guard and patrol services in the
territory of the country with the help of which
committed riders can serve the public security and
internal order of the country more consistently and
efficiently irrespective of the specific organisation
they belong to. For this purpose, we are developing
a central education and training base, which will
prepare riders and courses for the above objectives
in accordance with a training and qualification sys-
tem which is currently being developed.
The Association develops co-operation with var-
ious ministries, primarily the Ministry of Interior,
Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development,
Ministry of Environmental Protection, County and
National Agencies involved in crime prevention, the
National Association of Hungarian National
Guards and the Hungarian Hussar and Military
Tradition Preserving Association for the purpose of
crime prevention, public order, public security and
environmental protection, as well as prevention of
drug distribution and consumption. Co-operation
should also be developed with disaster protection
directorates and fire-fighting associations.
For the purpose of fostering Hungarian riding
traditions, developing the Hungarian riding culture
and flourish riding tourism, the Association things
that active participation is necessary in the imple-
mentation of the National Riding Programme.
IBSSA official publication 2006

Another very important objective of the
Association is to develop close co-operation with
the Ministry of Defence and its regional agencies in
terms of non-armed defence activities, primarily
training and education, attitude development of
young people, teaching them how to be patriotic
and prepare them for contractual or official service.
International mounted guard officer train-
ing in Hungary with Portuguese assis-
tance
In view of the fact that the same or similar servic-
es already operate in other countries, including
the Canadian Mounted Guard, the French
National Guards and Spanish horsemen, all the
way to famous Kazakhs with long historic tradi-
tions, the Association takes a lot of steps to build
and foster international relations. In this spirit,
Professor Jos Cosmelli The Regent of the
Sovereign Order of Saint John of Jerusalem,
Knight of Malta, FAP., Portugese diplomat,
Chairman of IBSSA Horse Riding Department,
participated in the inauguration ceremony of
Komrom Riding Mill, during which an agree-
ment was reached on future cooperation. This
mutual activity will also include the granting of
international certification, the so-called mounted
guard officer, by the Portuguese training centre
apart from the Hungarian certification to all can-
didates who must satisfy very strict requirements
in this concept. This cooperation is personally
guaranteed by Dr. Ferenc Kertsz, who is the man-
aging president of the National Mounted Guard,
and also secretary of IBSSA mounted section.
As it was indicated above, the Association has
set an objective of creating a collective organisa-
tion based on wide social cooperation but strict
technical knowledge and qualifications, which is
open to all citizens without a criminal record if
they have the required recommendations.
The Association has a key target of developing
qualifications and knowledge of its members and
their certification based on strict criteria in order to
guarantee professional and reliable cooperation
with national and local agencies and organisations.
Mr. kos Kenedi
National Mounted Services Association
President
He is an American Hungarian citizen, 60 years old,
with long red-brownish hair, typically in a pony tail,
and a red, thick beard. He is very short, and careless
people do not even count him in for a fight. However, he
was trained close-range fighting both in the USA and
the Middle East. He is an arms expert, an international
security expert, international security consultant and
arms master. He is very proud of his diploma from Pro
Deo university, centred in New York; he is a doctor of
security and protection sciences. Dr. Oliver L.
Rozsa has been a member of IBSSA since 1997 and is
the chairmans advisor for
shooting.
We met him in his
home. While he carried
on with a few things, he
gave me some technical
papers to look at. Of
course, they were all
about arms. I still remem-
ber the title of two, one
was called Military Small Arms, and the other
Soldier of Fortune.
I have loved arms since my childhood, he
remembered the beginning. Im lucky because
my trade is my hobby and my hobby is my trade.
I dare say that I have always had a weapon on me
since I left Hungary in 1968. Nowadays that I
spend the majority of the year at home I still
carry arms. I think we have grown together as I
feel almost naked without them.
Are you afraid?
No, Im not afraid, but I think one has to be
prepared for a potential attack because, unfortu-
nately, we live in a dangerous world. My profes-
sion orders me to the alert all the time.
Do you take your weapons abroad too,
or do you keep a few wherever you usual-
ly go?
I always have weapons on me in each country
wherever the law allows it. E.g., I have a gun licence
in the USA too, effective in 27 of the 50 states. So I

keep weapons and ammunition there, too. I also
have a European gun passport to move guns
around whenever go to competitions or to hunt.
It is well known about you in the pro-
fession that you received diversified
training but your strength is shooting.
My speciality is Middle East, where I spent
years. I learnt and taught there. I worked as a
bodyguard, expert and advisor. I also learnt in
the USA, but I mainly worked there, carrying
out several tasks. Of course, my work took me
to other countries too but these two places
dominated in my life.
As far as I know, you also had a
Russian employer.
I have got good references.
It is definitely to your benefit that
even these days you finish senior com-
petitions in the top positions.
I take part in some competition each week.
Recently, a new competition was launched in
Hungary under the auspices of IDPA
International Defensive Pistol Association
which is very close to the situational competi-
tion of bodyguards. Naturally, you can only
shoot with a standard gun like in IBSSA com-
petitions. The guns which may be used in IPSC
open category have been equipped with an elec-
tro-point laser target device, which significant-
ly assists the accuracy of the shot. Otherwise I
constantly train myself and lead courses all over
the world. I love situational shooting in inter-
national competitions in the 3-guns category
including shotguns, guns and pistols. I have got
good results. I am the Hungarian senior cham-
pion of IPSC category, situational category. I
have a team gold medal from an IPA competi-
tion (International Police Association), I was
second in the shotgun competition organised
by IDPA in Kentucky, USA. Competitions are
organised with machine guns regularly there,
attended by former members of armed forces as
well as representatives of the civil sector. These
shooting competitions clearly assist the situa-
tion recognition skills, speed, alertness, abilities
and determination of bodyguards.
I have seen some of your weapons. They are
very rare and special.
If I am right, my collection consists of
approximately 50 weapons which unfortunate-
ly cannot be kept at one place. I have hunting
weapons, corporate weapons, these legal
weapons, I have a shooting club, involving
sports weapons, and I have got my own
weapons which represent my own property.
I have also got historical weapons, e.g., a
World War One long-barrel machine gun, Luger,
from Erfurt in 1914, including also a compati-
ble sling, a leather case and wooden stock. I
have a weapon which was used during the
landing in Normandy in 1944, including a 45-
calibre Thompson. Of course, these weapons
are only suitable for individual shots. I have a
P39 from Wermacht, the Second World War,
which also includes a sling and a case. I also
own modern weapons, various revolvers, a 45
colt, a BT96, which is the civilian version of
MP. My name is also engraved in it, as it was
specifically made for me in Switzerland. It is a
special weapon because it carries my date of
birth, in its serial number. My self-defence
weapon is a Sig Sauer 228, 9mm one. This is
what I carry on me each day. I also have a
Walter, which was used in Luftwaffe, as a spe-
cial weapon. New weapons are usually
designed on the basis of old ones, they are mod-
ified versions, therefore I of course regularly
read the technical literature. I have very good
understanding of not only old but also new
weapons. I can say that I am up-to-date in
weapons.
What is your responsibility in IBSSA?
I supervise and coordinate the activities of
the Shooting Committee, and organise further
training of IBSSA shooter members. In addi-
tion, I am the shooting advisor of IBSSA presi-
dent. Although we did not talk about it, but
there is one more subject, which is very close to
my heart, the fight against drugs. I think that
two things threaten the world which is not in
war these days, terrorism and drugs or I may
even say narco-terrorism. This latter one is at
least as dangerous as the spectacular bombings
and massacres. This is why I represent IBSSA

Honorary member Sndor Oszter
IBSSA regularly invites famous people whose hon-
orary membership increases the prestige of the organi-
sation. Now we present a new member who is far from
criminal investigation or defence responsibilities but
could even be a minister of interior or bodyguard com-
mander. For Sndor OSZTER is an actor.
There was a stuntman school in Budakeszi
where each morning began with us running up
a hill with a sandbag on our neck twenty times
and when even our liver hurt from the strain we
started wall jumping. There was a gallery wall
in the gym where we trained on which we had
to jump hanging on to the wall with our finger-
tips. Those who fell had to do another 50 press-
ups. (I was always among the first five to fall.)
This was followed by riding practice. We had to
jump on a running horse, for which you had to
take the pace of the horse, get hold of the horses
mane and then pull yourself up with the
dynamics of the horse. I was 28 years old when
I started it. It was a splendid school.
What do you still use from what you
learnt in the stuntman school?
Almost everything. There is a saying that a
young twig bends but an old one breaks. Those
who do not build their own base at a young age
will collapse from the burden later. I used to train
two hours a day then, and I can still rely on this
basis. If someone is born to a buffer, he only has
to learn to fall because everybody will kick him.
But if someone is born to play huge, traditional
heroic roles, he must understand the historical
fighting methods, which required the base indi-
cated above. Just think of Romeo and Juliet, con-
taining huge fending scenes, Hamlet, and I could
still give you a long list. In addition, the current
action films could not be performed without
training either. Thats why I learnt karate, judo;
we trained with a sword and dagger and also
learnt their medieval versions. On top of every-
thing, we also had to practice riding tricks. How
would I have performed the famous Hungarian
outlaw, Sndor Rzsa, without all these?
What about shooting?
I am still good at it.
Recently there was a com-
petition organised by our-
selves, hunters. We had to
aim at 150 m, had three
shots and I came first from
approximately 50 hunters.
This clearly indicates that you are
strongly attracted to fighting sports and
the use of weapons. Is this where IBSSA
enters the picture?
I am an honorary member of the organisa-
tion. It has been true ever since the world of
tribes that the more someone is equipped in self-
defence, defence and attack, the better chance
he has to survive dangerous situations.
IBSSA has a rather good relationship
with the Knight of Malta and recently
you have also joined the order. What does
being a knight mean to you?
I have always been interested in the history of
the various knight orders, including the Sovereign
Order of Saint John of Jerusalem, Knights of
Malta, but I thought that it was only privilege of
the few selected by birth to join them. A knight
always meant a warrior, fighting for a good rea-
son. As long as this ideology existed, especially
during the wars on the Holy Land, kings were
eager to attract all knight orders so that they
could fight in their colours. This kind of activity
completely stopped by the Eighteenth century.
These days, during the period of advanced infor-
mation technology and super weapons a trans-
formed knight order has entered the stage. Instead
of taking a sword and joining a war, a charity, eth-
ical association has developed. In my opinion the
Knight Order is an organisation which is impor-
tant diplomatically too, and is capable of many
things. If various civil organisations also cooperate
with each other (e.g., the Knight Order and
IBSSA), our power will be multiplied. We might
not necessarily perform our tasks in public all the
time but the final result is what matters. This is
the objective of my activities and I follow my
knight predecessors in serving for good.
