I can't decide if this is a self-help book, or philosophical. Either way, it had many areas that touched my life and helped me with a clearer vision of truth. Truth versus fact. Concepts that make one think and endeavor to apply them to ones life. I have grown in many areas because this book contained information that changed me. Once I understood certain concepts about life and how these beliefs could be and were applied to my life, my life changed...for the better. No more chips on my shoulder, no more pitty pot. I have a new place for my energy and it feels GREAT! Thumbs Up!!!!

This is a good book to have in your library if you are a martial artist or if you are interested in the warrior lifestyle. It is especially interesting if you are interested in Ninjutsu. This book contains some straight, down to earth admonitions concerning living the warrior lifestyle and conducting yourself in your training and in life. I found it to be an interesting read and there are many useful lines of wisdom found throughout this book. It is a quick and easy read and can easily be read in one sitting, but you should take a little more time with it and give some thought to what is being taught here. I would recommend it for the martial artist.

Bohdi Sanders, author of Warrior Wisdom: Ageless Wisdom for the Modern Warrior

Warriorship - Life Lessons of a Martial Artist is presented in the veiled simplicity of an autobiographical presentation of Carey D. "Bud" Malmstrom. Insightful readers will move beyond this simplicity toward a dynamic, engaging and penetrating understanding of what it means to develop the truly heroic warriorship that our contemporary culture would rather dismiss as both archaic and troublesome. And yet, warriorship is exactly the remedy our age demands to counter the effects of ego, self-centeredness, complacency and destructiveness. Open the pages of Warriorship and be prepared to open your heart, mind and spirit toward introspection, self-examination, realignment and correct action as you continue to navigate your journey in life. Live boldly and assume the mantle of warriorship! Readers may also be interested in visiting Malmstrom's website at www.bujinkanatl.com. Ninpo Ikkan! Shihan, Onegai shimas!

An interesting view of the underlying motivations of a persons achievement of confidence without swagger. This work reveals the perceived and actual motivations of the authors drive to be the best.

Each chapter stands on its own but is also an interesting view of the components of the warrior mentality. They can and should be used by all others pursuing their own path to "the best".

Mr. Malmstrom has had the courage to make statements regarding his beliefs and philosophies, whether or not they would fit into the mainstream of thinking or not. He provides thought provoking beliefs that move one into questioning the "WHY" in what we believe. Not what but WHY DO WE BELIEVE WHAT WE BELIEVE? It is easy reading and full of truths and wisdom that make you think. Changes have been made by me since reading this book that have literally changed my life, how I feel about things and how I handle certain situations. Enjoy!

It's been a while since I've read it, but this book will change your life for the better! I highly recommend reading it at least once. I know I have not provided a lot of information in this review, but it would be wrong of me to try to quote the book, since it's been a few years now. The value of it continues to help me everyday though!
