I knew he got started in martial arts when stationed at Osan AB. I didn't know he started his own style, Chun Kuk Do. I find that kind of amusing.
Not really about Chuck but still a good documentary.

Big loss.
A very cool and interesting guy.
Given the level of respect he had for Bruce Lee, and how much Bruce influenced him, I'm not surprised that he created his own hybrid style/discipline.
He said several times that Bruce expanded a great deal on his knowledge of the mental/philosophical/discipline part of martial arts, and that the physical prowess side could never make a person truly a master. Bruce was correct in that there will always be someone who is stronger, quicker, and faster than you are.
Death will likely get us all, some before others, unless we are in that spiritual point in time. But although I didn't follow him closely, I thought Chuck was in better health. I expected him to make it into his nineties or better. Too bad.

Stalone, "I heard you got bit by a Cobra!" Chuck, "I did, after 5 agonizing days crawling through the brush the Cobra died!"
RIP Chuck, you'll be missed.

Great American icon and legend. Amazing role model for American kids growing up. Definitely too bad to hear about this one. :salute

I liked Kung Fu better before Carradine started taking Karate lessons.
He wasn't especially good at Karate as one would expect being a relative novice. More mystery in his moves before that.

I always wondered how many gallons of whiskey the Grim reaper had to drink in order to claim Chuck Norris's soul?

I beleive Chuck Norris was a good man. I never heard a bad thing about him. Never watched his movies from start to finish. never watched Walker Texas Ranger and no plans to. My son retired from Army at Ft Hood Tx. On our annual trip we would leave and drive toward Midland and catch the I-10 toward El paso. About 2 hours into trip a small town with a Restaurant you could park a semi -truck there. The food was good enough that we made it a must stop. Would park my 5th wheel tether my dog and go inside. On my exit I saw Norris's picture with several police officers. One was owners husband others was her son both were policeman. She must have talked for 45 minutes on all the thing he had done for this small community even going up to the Capital with them. My wife finally dragged me away and I was happy to here the stories that never made the paper. He was really a good man, Maybe even a TEXAN!
