Happy Birthday Chuck Norris

[KarateKen]

Norris turns 85 today, March 10.  Are you going to watch Chuck Norris movies tonight or waste a perfectly good March 10th? 

Norris is my favorite martial arts actor and while I have never had a personal encounter with him a few people I knew over the years had met him and all said he was a great guy.  

Should I be embarrassed that I have years of MA training and hold rank in multiple styles but am 100% convicted that and 85-year-old man can still knock me out?   Rhetorical question. 

Keep kicking!

That’s awesome. Like so many martial arts fans, it’s inspiring to see an icon such as Chuck Norris still alive and well at an advanced age, even more so if the man in question is still training and maintains a high level of skill.

Many martial artists can only hope and dream to reach that age and still be strong.

Absolutely.  I hope I can just be alive at 85.  Norris is in Hawaii right now boating and relaxing on the beach.  To be 85 and be that active would be a dream.

I did not know this!  Happy Birthday Chuck!  Chuck Norris movies were a mainstay in my home growing up; my dad was a big fan, and one of my earliest memories is watching Lone Wolf McQuade with my dad as a kid.  I loved it when he used the nitrous boost to drive his buried patrol vehicle out of a hole!  When I got older, I remember watching Walker, Texas Ranger on the regular.

And of course, there are all the Chuck Norris Facts out there....

Chuck Norris used to be the face of Century MartyArts catalogue in the late 80´s and the 90´s. That catalogue was quite popular in many schools and they would hand it out to the students.

As a 90´s student/fan, his movie career already passed, and was only discovered much later; after the television series he was known for later.
