Why is Chuck Norris perceived as a tough guy?

[Kingofkings1992]

I don't buy it personally. Even when this dude was young, I would maul him and not even be remotely challenged

[MrOracle]

There might be 10 men his age who are in better shape - none who are more skilled at fighting.

You might well take him today, when you are 50 years younger that he is, but if he was your age, he would almost certainly beat you. He was a master of multiple forms of martial arts and fought against the best of each of those disciplines and won. And he has been a serious fitness adherent since his teens.

I don't know what world titles you have won - in front of thousands of eye-witnesses and broadcast live on TV - but Norris didn't need to brag or even talk about his accomplishments - he left that for others to do. Instead, he just did it, with the world watching. And he was very successful.

large hands and knuckles, was quick. he won fighting competition, he was tough...

[DuSith]

Was. Norris recently died.

How many Black Belts do you have? He had at least four, may more. He also founded his own art.

Like the Seagull, Norris became a star due to his action movies. However, Norris was a real fighter and veteran, not a wanna-be who bullied fellow actors. However, like many from previous generations, he was set in his ways and followed Trump.

Unless you're really good at TKD, you might want to hold back on that. Even at 86, he could still kick.

What's funny? I could

I know that Chuck Norris was a black belt in Karate, Judo, TaeKwanDo, and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. He won many martial arts contests. I do not know how he would do in a street fight but I would not mess with him and find out.

[Kingofkings1992]

Not of that means jack shit in a street fight

[exitseven]

yes but we really do not know what else he's got. He was in the Air Force too.

[Kingofkings1992]

I'm ex military as well. I was in the marines from ages 18-21

@Kingofkings1992 Well , he is in his 80s and you are 33 so I guess you have the advantage.

[Kingofkings1992]

I would never fight a man in his 80's lol. That's elder abuse

[exitseven]

@Kingofkings1992 I respect that.

[DryGermanGuy]

I have seen martial arts fights of him. At his prime this guy was one tough sob.

[beefcakebradybatson]

Because he IS tough even eight days from his 86th birthday, and he'd use you as a toothpick, boy-o !!!

[Kingofkings1992]

That's adorable, he's about the size of one of my legs

[beefcakebradybatson]

Bruce Lee was small but deadly. Good things often come in small packages.

[zagor]

Back in the tough old days of the NBA, Calvin Murphy (5'9) ko'd Sidney Wicks (6'8 and not skinny).

[beefcakebradybatson]

@zagor Before or after molesting his daughters? (I remember Murphy's bopping Wicks. He reached up, grabbed Wicks' huge Afro and pounded away.)

[goaded]

Because when he does press-ups, the world goes down.

I recently just saw on the news Chuck Norris has died.

[Xoirwinkan]

Cuz he got beat up by Bruce Lee

[Anonymous]

I wonder the same, Bruce Lee was tougher.

[fish5505_87]

[Jeff51]
