Product Description

This fast-paced, compelling and chilling account, is the deeply moving story of a three-time Kung Fu World Champion.

With fascinating insight into the traditions of China's martial arts, it documents the abusive upbringing that turned a four-old child into a hardened, professional killer. From China to Europe and across the Mediterranean, we follow Tony as he becomes an elite bodyguard, protecting some of the world's most powerful people. Following personal tragedy, Tony's extreme discipline and the philosophy of his art is quickly turned. He begins to use his skills for illegal means and highly destructive, bloodthirsty pleasure. Eventually incarcerated in Cyprus, Tony hits rock bottom.

Through the visits of a stranger, he is introduced to the reality and life-changing power of Jesus Christ. Though the prison walls may fold him, he finds himself a free man. This is just the beginning of a complex and fascinating testimony.

©2004 Tony Anthony; (P)2008 christianaudio.com

Lies, Lies, Lies 23 Feb 2012
By Fiction
Format:Paperback
I am writing this because I was recently told that Tony Anthony's Book "Taming The Tiger" must be true because of all the good Amazon Reviews. So I would like to set the record straight. I understand that the Good Reviews are written by people with the best intentions, but have they actually any proof of Anthony's claims or have they investigated his claims in any depth? Well I have, I have many Documented Proofs that Taming The Tiger is largely a collection of lies and unfortunately Anthony, as an Evangelist, actually preaches these lies to people around the world.

If any one would like to see these proofs, which are exhaustive, then if they reply to this Review with their email address I will contact them. Anthony's Wiki page, that was deleted several years ago through lack of proof, has been put up again, but again through lack of citations to prove any of his claims is reduced to just basic information and even that is awaiting verification.
I am saddened to write this but I believe, along with other concerned Christians friends and associates, that Tony Anthony attempts to spread the Gospel using deceit but the real Good News cannot be spread with lies.

The only reason this book is disturbing is because of the lies in it. In a video on YouTube, he was interviewed in Canada and this is what he said about the white tiger he stroked behind the ears - "It wasn't a snow tiger, it was actually an orange tiger that was albino". The I.K.F.F he claims to have been associated with did not exist at that time and has only ever been known as the I.K.F. In Kung Fu there are no secret tunnel life or death graduation ceremonies in order to obtain the rank of master. His version of the hit and run incident which killed a woman on a motorbike is vastly different from that given in court. What can be proved is that he did spend time in two prisons for crimes related to dishonesty but he refuses to give any proof for his other outrageous claims (three time Kung Fu world champion, elite bodyguard, saved many lives but also took many lives, his Grandfather was a Shaolin Monk Kung Fu master ....). The film version of this book is due out in 2013 and he is now asking for all good folk who have read the book to donate money towards this cause.

Walter Mitty 20 Dec 2010
Format:Paperback
This book was given to me by a friend of mine as he is aware I enjoy combat sports.

I don't really know where to start... claims of stroking white tigers/fighting gangs of armed grown men before his 11th birthday/being involved in secret Kung Fu death matches and becoming one of the best body guards in the world.

Quick Fact list might help

The IFK which he claims sponsored his training did not exist in the 1970's.

During the early 1970's China was going through the cultural revelation and the concept a small child could travel to and from London to be trained by his grandfather (Martial arts were banned at this time) is a joke.

White tigers have not been seen in the Wild since 1958 and then only ever within the Indian sub continent never within 300 miles of the Chinese border.

The only facts this man can show to be true is that he was Jailed for Fraud in Cyprus he meet a Christian missionary and he lied and was Jailed for a hit and run accident in the UK.

Most of his autobiography appears to be stolen from 1970's Kung Fu movies including the scene where he fights the basketball player and holds the molten cauldron with his bare arms in the secret cave of the masters his grandfather showed him.

For me this man is the worst kind of liar using the faith of good people to live out his own sick delusions of Grandeur.
