Chuck Norris had an impressive 183-10-2 fighting record and became a six-time world champion in full-contact bare-knuckle karate.
In addition, he defeated heavyweight kickboxing champion Joe Lewis three times consecutively and took part in a brutal hour-and-a-half sparring session with the undefeated legend Bill ‘Superfoot’ Wallace. According to Wallace, they fought to a near stalemate and absolutely destroyed each other.
Chuck received training in kickboxing and boxing from Benny ‘The Jet’ Urquidez, while also dedicating 20 years to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu under the Gracies and Machados. He even succeeded in submitting Carlos Machado several times.
Weighing just 180 pounds, he could bench press 315 pounds and had an incredibly powerful grip that almost no one could escape. Even Jean-Claude Van Damme once said he would never step into the ring against Chuck Norris, despite being a kickboxing world champion himself.
Chuck earned a 10th degree black belt in Chun Kuk Do, a 9th degree in Tang Soo Do, an 8th degree in Taekwondo, a 5th degree in Karate, a 3rd degree in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and a black belt in Judo.
Rip legend…
