Chun Kuk Do / UFAF

[Icebrc]

Well I'm new here so hello everybody.

 

I've searched for Chun Kuk Do and UFAF but didn't find anything.

 

First, does anybody know of Chun Kuk Do / UFAF ?

 

Most people I run into have never heard of it and look at me kind of funny. Chun Kuk Do is the MA that Chuck Norris started (UFAF being the organization CKD belongs to I guess, not really sure to be honest). I live in Missouri, USA and there were 4 (now only 2) schools in the entire state (all in the southeast region). It was the only option besides TKD when I was younger so I jumped on it. Most people think of TSD when I mention Norris and appear skeptical that I'm serious. So incase the form is unknown here the site is http://www.ufaf.org but unfortunately there isn't much information to be found there.

 

I acheived 2nd red (as my sig shows) back in 1996. I was 2 belts from black (1st red then 1st black). Unfortunatley I've fallen way out of practice and have no way of picking back up.

 

Okay, enough biography.

 

Does anybody here know of CKD? Opinions of the art? Effectiveness/usefulness relative to other similar arts (TKD, Karate, etc)?

I studied Chuck Norris' system under the UFAF in the late 70's. I don't think it was CKD then, just TSD-but I could be wrong. This is were I got my passion for the MA's from. I was just a teen-made it to green belt before I moved away.
