Customer Reviews

I loved it!

A friend of mine passed this book along to me and I am so glad she did!The author did a wonderful job describing her journey; I felt as if I was right there with her through the entire trip!Her determination and courage were so inspiring!Thanks, Pam!

Courageous reporting on both an emotional and physical level

In "Among Warriors - A Martial Artist in Tibet", Pamela Logan frankly relates her travel experiences, documenting the emotional and physical challenges she faced. She courageously reveals the beginning steps of her growing understanding and appreciation for the Buddhist faith as she searches for the elusive warriors of Kham; none of the typical travel writer's pretence at omnipotence here - Logan is open to what the experience brings her and we are fortunate to share vicariously in her journey. In addition, she faithfully and vividly describes a relatively unknown part of the world - very useful on my recent trip there!

A must for karateka!

This is a great book. As a female karateka with an interest in Tibet and international travel I was impressed with the author's frankness, curiosity and determination. There was never a dull page or unnecessary word, much like the movements of the kata. She takes us all on the journey, and how fortunate are we to be along for the ride.

Wonderful book - a must read!

This has lots of interesting reading to offer any martial artist curious in the least about Tibet.

Resonates with truth and meaning

I just finished "Among Warriors" and had to let everyone know how much I enjoyed the book! Among its many other qualities, I found it an inspiration for the would-be traveler (in life): "But then, the lesson of special training is: If you want to learn, you have to take that leap." -pp. 100.This passage resonated with truth and meaning for me. I guess in my own way I've taken a few "leaps" in life--with a wide range of consequences, all of which promoted growth and learning (even the painful ones).
