Very sad news today. GM Chuck Norris has passed away at the age of 86. Carlos Ray ‘Chuck’ Norris was born here in Oklahoma in 1940 and he began his martial arts training in 1958 while stationed in South Korea, earning his black belt in Tang Soo Do.
GM Norris was a pioneer tournament fighter, one of the early guys to showcase effective kicking skills, earning many national and world championships. He was a 6-time undefeated world professional middleweight karate champion with 183 wins, 10 losses, and 2 draws. He was a highly respected grandmaster, martial artist, author, and actor and he was one of the truly good guys out there.
RIP sir. God bless his family. 👊🏼
