Best Answer

Generally, we assume warriors to be kind of strong and wise military commandos.

In case of Peaceful Warriors, we got warriors who do meditation and aren't worried about things. However, they are still warriors, as the book Way of The Peaceful Warrior and movie say, whether it is Socrates Ninja-ing criminals, Dan performing gymnastics feats, or simply being happy and truly aware of life.

Therefore, this is a different approach to what a warrior is besides what we already know.
