dear john Posted October 22, 2004 Posted October 22, 2004 well is it? i have never meet anyone in it. what does it focus on? the funny thing is that i know im wrong and i know your right, yet you keep argueing like it will change my mind. you should really know, you dont have to be right to win:)
cathal Posted October 22, 2004 Posted October 22, 2004 Found this online: Sensei Norris has indicated in his own biography that he has black belts in Tang Soo Do, Tae Kwon Do, and is founder of Chun Kuk Do ("Universal Way"). Mr. Norris has also practiced Judo, Shito-Ryu Karate, and Brazilian Jujutsu. He is also creator of The United Fighting Arts Federation (UFAF) From http://www.fact-index.com/c/ch/chuck_norris.html I know from his site he has an 8th Dan in TKD, but I'm not sure of Chun Kuk Do .The best victory is when the opponent surrendersof its own accord before there are any actualhostilities...It is best to win without fighting.- Sun-tzu
Master Jules Posted October 22, 2004 Posted October 22, 2004 Wanna fight Chuck and see for yourself ????? LOL An art......ANY art.......is only "information".....The question "Is it good ?" shouldnt apply to the art, but the practicioner . First, it is up to the practicioner to be able to UNDERSTAND what the art teaches you to do. Second, it is then also up to the practicioner to be able or not to actually DO what the art teaches you to do. Third, it is still also up to the practicioner as to whether or not he/she TRAINS to the point where they can use the art EFFECTIVELY in combat. A "style" is just that.....a "style"......ultimately.....regardless of whatever the "style" is....it comes down to a personal choice as to whether or not the student is dedicated and has an ability to "do" ~Master Jules......aka "The Sandman""I may be a trained killer......but Im really a nice guy"
tommarker Posted October 22, 2004 Posted October 22, 2004 An interesting trivia bit: Chuck Norris failed his first Dan test in Tang Soo Do. I don't say this to disparage Mr. Norris at all, just pointing out that he was among the early group of Americans to test in front of Hwang Kee and he definetely had to earn it! I'm no longer posting here. Adios.

Student: "Why did you hit that guy with a chair? Why didn't you use your karate?"Master: "Hitting him with a chair was the only karate I could think of at the time."Lesson: Practice until you don't have to think.
Master Jules Posted October 22, 2004 Posted October 22, 2004 Thank you (bows) ~Master Jules......aka "The Sandman""I may be a trained killer......but Im really a nice guy"

I don't say this to disparage Mr. Norris at all, just pointing out that he was among the early group of Americans to test in front of Hwang Kee and he definetely had to earn it! I had heard that it only took him a year learn what he needed to test for cho dan. Do you know if this is true? I had read that all he did was train for that year. ouch.

tommarker Posted October 22, 2004 Posted October 22, 2004 I don't know about that, but I suppose it is possible. From what I've heard, a lot of guys went 6 nights a week. Basics, Forms and Sparring. It was a pretty spartan curriculum and they were some tough guys. I'm no longer posting here. Adios.
