In today's often violent world, accepting the warrior path as a way of life is not the prerogative of the modern soldier. We now have warriors in every walk of life, civilian warriors, law enforcement warriors, executive protection warriors, and of course, military warriors. This first volume gives insight into how being a modern warrior impacts our everyday life, how we live through physical and mental conditioning, awareness of personal, mobile, and home security for example. The chapters not only supply the reader with information but require the reader to continually question themselves as they journey along the warrior path.

This second volume carries on where the first book finished. Here again you are taken through a small percentage of what you as a modern day warrior must know, not only for personal safety but also for the safety of your family or the ones whom you protect. You will find not only physical applications but also mental development chapters, and also challenges some of the myths which in the protection industry run rife. Your journey on the warrior path is full of questions, tall tales, challenges, trial and error. This book is here to help keep you, the warrior on your chosen path.
