Some may know Chuck Norris is the subject of thousands of jokes that basically take the p**s out of his image of super tough, bad a##. Such as, when Chuck Norris crosses the road, the traffic lights switch to red.
Norris got into martial arts while in the armed forces. He met some South Koreans who were doing Tang Soo Do. Norris took it all seriously and got pretty good in his sport. Norris was smart enough to use his skills as a movie star, before Stallone and Schwarzenegger came to the scene. The reverse roundhouse kick is the move that impresses in Norris's films. He used it perfectly in the scenes with Bruce Lee, showing speed, balance and range. I noticed nowadays lots of sportsmen or women can perform this kick probably as good as Norris. Far more people train than in the early 1970s.
Recently Norris has taken some heat for being pro Republican, pro gun and against same sex marriage.
