The Ethical Warrior:
Values, morals, and ethics for
life, work and service by Jack Hoban
Jack Hoban was shaped
by service in the U.S. Marine Corps, a life-changing
epiphany at a Cold War bar, and mentorship
under two masters: The 34th generation grandmaster
of the shadowy art of the Ninja and a sage
of the Natural Law who may just have deciphered
the meaning of life. He now delivers a revolutionary
view of moral values for our time epitomized
by the Ethical Warrior – protector of self
and others as equal human beings. Hoban’s
methodology reaches from the Greek ancients
to the counterinsurgency efforts of today’s
Marines to provide ethical clarity and confidence
in our moral actions. The Ethical Warrior
is of great value to those interested in
living a balanced, happy and ethical life.
It addresses important questions such as:
Is there a “true north” on the moral compass?
Is there an objective value that can be
used to qualify our relative values as moral
or immoral? How do we reject our tendency
to dehumanize others not of our “in-group”–
including our enemies – and respect true
human equality? How do we do “the right
thing” under the stresses of everyday life?
The Ethical Protector:
Police Ethics, Tactics and Techniques
by Jack E. Hoban and Bruce J. Gourlie
Edited by James V. Morganelli
The Ethical Warrior
concept was developed and is practiced by
the United States Marine Corps. It is transmitted
to the Marines through the Marine Corps
Martial Arts Program (MCMAP). The concept
has been adapted for Law Enforcement and
is referred to as the Ethical Protector
concept. This book is adapted from a series
of articles written originally for LEOs
on PoliceOne.com, but be assured, the lessons
herein are timeless and immutable. They
can, have, and will grant us clarity. Clarity
for the protector in all of us.
The adaptation of the United States Marine
Corps Martial Arts Program (MCMAP) model
for use in police work has the potential
to make a wonderful profession even more
remarkable. If you're a cop - or aspire
to be one - this book can be an invaluable
resource." - Doug Wyllie PoliceOne

The Ethical Protector: Combative Skills
Volume I: Tactical Maneuver &
Protector Ethics
by Jack Hoban
The unique tactical
maneuver skills presented in this video
were developed and field-tested to keep
you safe in physical conflict situations,
whether you are a law enforcement officer,
military operative, or citizen protector.
Effective conflict resolution also calls
for ethical behavior. Jack Hoban and James
Morganelli present training scenarios that
illustrate the deep connection between tactical
movement and ethical conduct. The RGI ethical-tactical
approach stems from "The Dual Life Value,"
a theory of human nature that protects and
respects the value of self and others, even
the opponent's. In addition to the in-depth
physical demonstrations, the video contains
several inspiring Ethical Protector values
stories.

General Charles
C. Krulak, 31st Commandant of
the United States Marine Corps:
“Whether on the Battlefield
or in the Boardroom, a strong
value system is the most precious
weapon of all. Nobody understood
this more than Bob Humphrey.
I cherish the time I spent with
this remarkable man and count
myself as blessed to have been
under his tutelage.”
William
S. Sessions, former Director
of the Federal Bureau of Investigation:
“Professor Humphrey's fresh
look at human nature gives us
insights and methods to break
down walls between groups in
conflict which can impact and
help reduce cross-cultural violence.”
Colman
Genn, Center for Educational
Innovation and former Superintendent,
New York City School System:
“Bob Humphrey’s
Life Values theory represents
the clearest and most satisfying
explanation of human nature
in the last three thousand years
of philosophy.”
Captain
Jack E. Hoban, USMCR:
As Bob Humphrey talked, I felt
that prickly sensation on the
back of my neck. It was powerful,
and really quite physical. The
things that he said, the stories
he told, touched me in a way
that has changed me forever.
I was stunned to hear him explain,
clearly and matter-of-factly,
the meaning of life.

Tie-Ins For Life Stories That Teach
Great Values and Inspire Moral
Action
How do you teach
values? How do you keep yourself
and others motivated and positive
under the stresses of everyday
life, not to mention the rigors
of combat as a U.S. Marine?
"Not with lectures, that is
for sure," says Joseph "Joe
Marine" Shusko. Joe Shusko has
mentored hundreds of Marines,
police officers, and regular
folk with great success for
over thirty years. His secret?
He tells them stories that inspire
moral behavior and an enthusiastic
perspective on life. He calls
these stories "tie-ins" because
they do more than make you feel
good, they inspire moral action.
"Ethics," says Joe, "are moral
values in action. I typically
give a 'tie-in' to my students
after we have done some physical
exercise together, especially
martial arts training. This
allows me to 'tie' a moral lesson
to the physical action in order
to make Ethical Warriors."
Jack Hoban is profiled in this
book.
The United States Marine Corps
is the smallest unit of the
four branches that make up the
U.S. Armed Forces. In spite
of the relatively small number
of people passing through its
ranks, the Marine Corps produce
a disproportionate share of
this country's leaders. It is
because Marines are different
from the rest of the population.
They have a different mindset
and have been taught to handle
problems in a different manner.
They are taught to find a way
to solve the problem, regardless
of extenuating circumstances.
They do not make excuses or
try to determine why it can't
be done. Marine Corps training
instills the self-control, discipline,
self-assurance, and leadership
skills that lead to high achievement
later in life. Above & Beyond,
Former Marines Conquer the Civilian
World profiles 88 former Marines
who took that winning attitude
and applied it to the civilian
sector. This book introduces
a mix of former Marines who
are very successful in the civilian
fields they have chosen; some
of these former Marines you
already know, and many you don't
know. You will meet reservists, "one-termers"
and "lifers", as well
as a former Marine Commandant
who is very successful in the
private sector. You will find
out a little bit about each
person profiled, but as you
read the stories collectively,
you will see a camaraderie of
many races, ages, and personalities
that make up the U.S. Marine
Corps. Above & Beyond is
a must for former, current and
future Marines and their families.
