There's been a bit of a flurry recently in published information on the 'Ethical Warrior.' Thought it would make for some good reading over the long weekend.

Jack Hoban just published this article in the "Marine Corps Gazette," called Developing the Ethical Marine Warrior. It's a great read, and comprehensive, providing terrific overview of the concept.

This next one was written by Manuel de Joya, an Aikidoka and local Chicago writer, who participated in Jack's recent Chicago seminar. Manuel writes on martial arts for the online "Chicago Examiner." I trained with Manuel during the seminar - he's a great guy, a talented martial artist, and a good writer to boot. He also took some great photos, a slideshow of which can be viewed at the end of the article. Check it out.

Have a safe, enjoyable Memorial Day weekend. And take a moment to remember our fallen soldiers, as well as those still serving.
