A Gentleman and a Warrior

This revised edition of The Warrior’s Guide to Gentleman’s Etiquette: A Comprehensive Compendium on Conduct Befitting a Warrior Gentleman in the 21st Century is wonderfully crafted by self-defence instructor, philosopher, warrior, and gentleman’s etiquette advocate Mr Cooper Ali-Shabazz. It’s a must-read book for all men, providing an insight for those who are curious about and aspire to the lifestyle, value systems, and self-mastery that goes towards creating the rare but ever-so-dynamic man thought of today as a warrior and gentleman. This is the first of two books in the The Warrior Series. The second, upcoming, Warrior Mysticism: The Acquisition of Power looks deeper into the soul and examines how to develop the mind to acquire uncommon abilities.

Cooper Ali-Shabazz has worked as a life coach, self-defence instructor, philosopher, and gentleman’s etiquette advocate since the 1990s. Born in Brooklyn, USA, he started training in warrior arts from an early age as a way to combat the violence of growing up on the streets of New York. Through four decades, he has travelled extensively as a personal bodyguard, security consultant, public speaker, actor, teacher, and student. Shabazz has trained in several different martial arts and studied with many great fighting men, including veterans from the First and Second World Wars, and the Korean and Vietnam Wars.

With its initial release, The Warrior’s Guide to Gentleman’s Etiquette had a successful launch and release into the mainstream, where it received positive reviews and praise by its readers. Now nine years on, the book has been revisited and revamped. Cooper Ali-Shabazz is no stranger to the media and actively promoted his book upon its initial release, including participating in media interviews. Cooper Ali-Shabazz aspires to continue building his speaking portfolio with the intent to advocate gentleman’s etiquette for youths as well as adults.
