"Taming the Tiger" by Tony Anthony - 11/09/06 08:21 PM
A little while ago, a friend of mine lent me this book; it's meant to be the autobiography of this guy who's a Kung Fu master and World Champion who beats up a lot of people, goes to prison and then becomes a born-again Christian and then procedes to pooh-pooh the martial arts as promoting 'false spirituality'.
Has anyone else read this "true" *cough cough yep and I'm a tomato cough cough* story? What were your thoughts? Do you think he's genuine?
Don't get me wrong, I didn't object to his Christian message. I found the book to be quite inspirational. I objected to his unlikely claims and his sweeping, unclarified statement that martial arts = spawn of Satan.
