The Wisdom Warrior

My new book, Fireside Meditations, has now been released and like the Warrior Wisdom Series, is receiving great reviews! This is a totally different kind of book than the Warrior Wisdom books, but still has the ability to make you think about your life, your beliefs, and your intentions. Be sure to check Fireside Meditations out and let me know what you think about it.

More great news… I have replaced my web tech and finally got things working as they should. Now ALL of my books, including Fireside Meditations, can be purchased directly from The Wisdom Warrior website, and at a DISCOUNT PRICE! This enables my readers to save a little money when purchasing my books. My website has been updated and will continue to be worked on until I get all the bugs out.

Live With Honor!

Warrior Wisdom II: The Heart & Soul of Bushido

Warrior Wisdom II is following in the footsteps of the original Warrior Wisdom…It has received some tremendous endorsements included the following from Loren Christensen. Those of you who have any interest at all in martial arts or in the warrior lifestyle will recognize this name, as Loren is one of the biggest authors of martial arts/warrior literature. I have been reading Lorens books for years, and actually have several of his books in my office that I refer back to regularly. I am greatly honored that he has considered Warrior Wisdom II worthy enough to endorse. Here is Loren’s endorsement:

In Warrior Wisdom quote number 54, Benjamin Franklin is quoted as saying, “Reading makes a full man –Meditation makes a profound man.” Doctor Bohdi Sanders’ insight on this saying is that, “You have to engage your mind and focus while you read…Meditate on the information… Don’t just skim it, but…understand the principles behind what you are reading and be able to apply those principles to your life.” Later he says that this applies to everything that you do, including learning the martial arts. “Do not let your mind wonder off to some other subject. Be in the moment. Focus on the Now. Don’t just go through motions…”

As a practitioner of Zen, I believe that Dr. Sanders nails this quote so simply, yet so profoundly, that I think it should have been placed as Warrior Wisdom quote number 1, to function as a guide as to how to proceed through this most valuable book.

The wisdom sayings and the discussions herein are simplistic yet they are as meaty as a two-inch-thick porterhouse. I like simplicity in the martial arts. If you have read my books on the fighting arts, you know that I nag the reader as to the importance of keeping things uncomplicated. Real fighting is too fast, too furious, too heart rate accelerating, and too adrenaline pumping to employ complex techniques and concepts. I believe the same is true of one’s personal philosophy. It has got to be simple and it has got to be pragmatic. Clearly, Doctor Bohdi Sanders believes this, too.

So don’t race through this book as if you were reading a popular novel. “Meditate on the information,” “be in the moment,” and “…apply [the] principles to your life.” Think about them and discuss them with your partner, your classmates, and with your students. Discuss them with friends outside of the martial arts, too, as they apply to all facets of your life.

Read this book, and then read it again and again and again.
Loren W. Christensen

WOW…Thanks Loren! I think that I will have to frame that endorsement and put it on the wall of my office, just above the stack of Loren’s books that I refer back to again and again!

For those who are interested, Warrior Wisdom II has gone to the printer and will be available in the next couple of weeks. Both Warrior Wisdom books will also be available on cd’s in the upcoming weeks.

Martial Artists Give
Warrior Wisdom
2 Thumbs Up!!

Bohdi Sanders’ book "Warrior Wisdom" bridges the gap between ageless wisdom and modern application for today’s warriors. Sanders writes that being a warrior is not something you do; it is something you are. In this book, he provides the guidance to live and be a warrior physically, mentally, and spiritually. In fact, his lessons on honor, responsibility, wisdom, courage, and most importantly character , are what will make this book an excellent contribution to any library…

The value in this unique book lies in the commentary on warriorship by Sanders which is inspired by classic quotes on the warrior way. These lessons not only form a roadmap toward martial success, but to success in all your daily activities. A lifestyle committed to the ideals of warriorship is powerful…

"Warrior Wisdom" is filled with stimulating quotes, valuable insights, and inspiring examples of how a warrior should train, act, and live. Use the text to help develop and shape your own warrior code of honor, your moral compass pointing toward what is right and just…

This book will be an invaluable resource for anyone…A must read for those who consider themselves warriors and live by the values of honor, courage, and commitment.

Dr. Kevin Keough

"It is relatively uncommon to stumble upon a book that most everyone will find interesting and inspiring. Readers are introduced to an exceptional blend of cross-cultural and timeless wisdom. Each page contains truly classic proverbs and gems of wisdom combined with insightful commentary that leads readers to a recognition of the practical and immediate relevance of ancient wisdom in our 21^st century lives.

Dr. Sanders demonstrates a remarkable understanding of young people and seekers of all ages in the careful selection and down to earth discussion of ideas that will enrich their lives. This book is a gift that keeps on giving as each page heightens awareness of the best within us and a Solidarity that forever unites.

While reading "Warrior Wisdom" an old native American saying remained with me: "When the wisdom-keepers speak, all should listen" -Seneca

Marc "Animal" MacYoung

Here is a real short hand answer to ‘what does it mean to be a warrior?" Being a warrior is about protecting others, not picking and choosing where and when you will fight…Being a warrior doesn’t mean just fighting, it requires you to think and observe. It requires a higher level of awareness and understanding. And once you are sure, then it requires action.

If you choose to walk the warrior’s path, then you must always be on guard against forgetting how easy it is to lose sight of the purpose of a warrior…Never, forget, the purpose of a warrior is to serve the whole of society, not just a small section. To serve the greater good and not yourself.

Marc Animal MacYoung ~ author of several martial arts books including Secrets of Effective Offense and Becoming a Complete Martial Artist, martial arts instructor for both the police, the military, and his own personal students

Lawrence Kane

After reading Sanders’ manuscript…His book is not only memorable, but thought-provoking and insightful as well. I’m honored to be among the first few people to have read it.

Warrior Wisdom is a pithy tome…the author’s succinct commentaries…helps you digest the information, understand the essence of warriorhood, and explore your own character as it relates to the topic…Sanders’ book is an excellent resource…It’s a thinking person’s guide to development as a martial artist, warrior, and human being. And, it’s something worth reading more than once.

Lawrence Kane ~ Author of Surviving Armed Assaults and Martial Arts Instruction; co-author of The Way of Kata, The Way to Black Belt, and The Little Black Book of Violence .

Shawn Kovacich

A truly outstanding book that helps provide some much needed insight into an abundance of familiar, and some not quite so familiar, quotes from throughout the ages regarding warriors and the warrior traditions.

Shawn Kovacich ~ Author of the Achieving Kicking Excellence Series

Peyton Quinn

Bohdi Sanders’ book is about mental "technique" that is the warrior mindset. He dissects scores of classical martial sayings and brings them into the clarity of our modern life. I think for many people when they read this work, they will realize a new and functional insight they did not previously enjoy…

You must endeavor to truly understand this reality in order to follow your truest and best path. Warrior Wisdom is a fine tool to help you find that understanding in all its depth too.

Warrior Wisdom Update:

Well, it is finally in print! It has been a long time coming, but WARRIOR WISDOM is finally printed and ready to go. I want to thank all of my readers for the constant support, compliments and encouragement during this process. You guys are great!

I will be going to Reno next week to sign books, so if you have already ordered or will be ordering between now and next weekend, your book will ship out as soon as I sign your numbered, limited edition. If you haven’t ordered your book yet, you can still get the special surprise gift that the publisher is offering if you order within the next week. I talked him into extending the deal for a week because of our bet…

I bet him that we would get over 200 orders from my readers…a steak dinner with all the trimmings while I am in Reno. The final numbers aren’t in yet, so I got him to extend the offer for you guys (actually, I just didn’t want to have to pay for his steak! LOL). Also, this special offer is only available through the publisher’s website (and only for one more week), not Amazon or Barnes & Noble. Make sure to order your copy right away in order to get the deal…I don’t think he is going to give me any more concessions, I have pushed my luck as far as it will go with this guy. LOL

Seriously, I know that most people don’t order pre-sale books, so I just wanted to let you know that WARRIOR WISDOM is now available without delay. Many of you have written me inquiring when it would be available and asking how to get a copy. Well, it is available NOW and to order your copy just click on any of the book covers on this blog or go to my website at: TheWisdomWarrior.com

To give you an idea of what the book is like, my last blog on Thought Control came directly from the book. Basically, the book is formatted much like my blog posts for the most part. If you like my blogs, you will like WARRIOR WISDOM , even if you aren’t into martial arts. If you are into martial arts, you will really get a lot from WARRIOR WISDOM .

For you martial artists, police officers, and military men and women, WARRIOR WISDOM is sure to please. It is forwarded by Marc "Animal" MacYoung and endorsed by Alain Burrese, Lawrence Kane, Peyton Quinn, Shawn Kovacich, and Dr. Kevin Keough. If this group of martial artist liked it, so will you! As always, your feedback is welcomed and honored.

Again, THANK YOU SO MUCH for your many emails of support and encouragement!! You guys have been very kind to me with your blog comments and emails, and I sincerely hope you enjoy my book as much as you have enjoyed my blog! Please give me feedback on the book after you have read it…I want to know what you guys think. After corresponding with you for so long, I have come to think of you guys as my friends.

Thank you my friends!
