Southend-on-Sea, England: Kung Fu master Tony Anthony and Avanti Ministries

[PDA]

Well i have found a little treachery of the possibly illegal kind! Documents filed at companies house 2003 = TA DOB - 30-07-1971 , Documents filed 2005 = TA DOB - 30-07-1969. both hand written and signed by TA.
Error or Deception?
There are also some other irregularities i have found but they will require additional resources to check them out which are available only during work time :) should have some info on them tommorrow
Oh and in 2003 he states his occupation as "Insurance Broker" couldnt bring my self to watch more than 10 mins of his video as i was cringing to the point of turning to stone ,so not sure if he mentions it or not.

It's getting to the point where we have so much information proving he a fraud, we just need to find the knockout hit, Ian Davidson, Jail Term etc.

[stephenprunetti]

So, from international kung fu champ, elite body-guard at 15 or 17, to insurance broker!? Ha! Ha! That's quite a career change! Excellent research Terraform.
Filehelp. Nothing so far on the Ian Davison front. I've even phoned all the Davisons that are in that area and listed in the phone directory, looking for any relations who might know where he is. No luck so far. Yvonne's not got back to me yet. But she is originally from South Shields herself, so i'm very hopeful that she'll have an idea where he is. He may very well be somewhere in the middle east, though. But we have to pursue all leads until they're exhausted.

Have any of you read his book? He states in tne book that he got a job as guard at some securitycompany, I'll check if he wrote a name, but I doubt it.
In an interview in a christian magazine Tony is described as 40 year old, but we can't know for sure, if that's correct.
Nice research guys.

Here is a link to a Tony Anthonys testimony with copyright belonging to Anthony, I found that detail to be rather important, as he mentions his year of birth to be 1969. The copyright should give an indication(not a sure thing, as nothing is) that it is infact a statement by Anthony.
And while he has copyright, I can only link to the page

[stubbe78]

Btw, does anyone of you know for sure, when he stated to have been worldchampion?
I have seen various pages saying 1987, 1988, 1989. If that is true, things are getting even stranger, as he started as bodyguard in around 1985 based on his kung fu background. It would be very unlikely, if he was a bodyguard and at the same time participated in the world championships.

[PDA]

Its even stranger that he was born in either 1969 or 1971 so was a bodyguard at either 14 or 16 , YARR RIGHT!!! and my name is rumplestiltskinbitchmagnetpimpdaddy 2nd.
One of the directors of his company in 2003 resigned in 2004. His name was Luke Dobson and he was based in essex also. Im going to try and find him to see if there was a particular reason why he left the organization (smelt bullshit perhaps).

[stephenprunetti]

Hi all.

Stubbe78, yes, i read his book two years ago, which is how i discovered 'Bullshido', as people had already started to ask all the obvious questions. I was captivated by 'Taming the Tiger', for all the wrong reasons. The thing that still completely blows my mind is that seemingly educated, intelligent people (Malcolm Down and Angela Little, for two) have been taken in by this ridiculous yarn. You need no kung fu knowledge to see it for what it is.

Filehelp is working out a time-line, which is a great idea, this alone will present very clear evidence that Tony's story is deeply flawed at best, and at worst, an outright fraud (which, i for one believe it is). So, for the people who are, let's be blunt, gullible enough to believe his BS about tigers, carrying cauldrons of molten metal, etc etc, there will be definite proof to make them think.

Filehelp, any word yet from Mr Anthony?

[stubbe78]

Sounds good Stephen. Let's hope we'll have some good hard evidence one day. Still, it's already quite clear to me, bodyguard as 16 years old? Couldn't feel the handles burning the flesh? Sounds great with the timeline, that's one of our most important leads

Great work guys

I also think it's a good thing that concerned Christians are doing a lot of the work here.

I'm not a Christian myself, but I think that the people most at risk of being conned (if this is a con) are Christians and I think it's very helpful that Christians are investigating Tony.

Interestingly the Daily Motion 5 part Taming the Tiger videos I embedded earlier in the thread now appear not to be working.

Just a reminder that I made copies of them as they were pretty detailed and I can upload them to viddler to share should any of you investigating need to access them.

Sorry I've not been so active on this of late, I'm insanely busy with work

edited to add

lots of his youtube videos are also no longer working

[PDA]

Allot of the Youtube stuff i tried is still working.
Its going to be interesting to see if he responds over the next few days, it appears the net is closing and he risks confession by silence without his rebuttal and varification.

[stephenprunetti]

All of the youtube Tony Anthony videos i tried are still working. I check them every day. The email links on the avanti ministries site are down though, and have been for days. I'm very suspicious about this, so i asked a computer expert today why that might be. He said there could be a few reasons for this. He cited maybe trouble with the 'server side mail client' or 'band width issues' (this is all a foreign language to a technophobe like me). But the fact that it's been down for days, he said, strongly suggests that the web-master or administrator of the site has intentionally removed the links.

While we're waiting, I've tried to find any reference for a Li Chang Po in Xi'an without success. I did several modified searches on Google and came up empty handed. That doesn't mean that he doesn't exist it just means that there are not any references to him in English. I would definitely need characters to do a proper search.

[Chili Pepper]

Got a reply from Tony. Just making sure I have his permission to post it.

Well, until then, howabout you give us your general impression of his answers? Are they plausible/credible?
