Chuck Norris, born Carlos Ray Norris on March 10, 1940, in Ryan, Oklahoma, is a legendary American martial artist, actor, film producer, and former Air Force serviceman. Renowned for his martial arts expertise, he became a cultural icon through his action-packed films and the hit TV series Walker, Texas Ranger, as well as through the internet phenomenon known as “Chuck Norris Facts.” Over decades, Norris has built a career and persona centered around strength, resilience, and an unwavering commitment to personal and physical excellence.
Raised in a humble environment, Norris faced challenges early on, including his parents’ divorce and a lack of self-confidence. He joined the U.S. Air Force in 1958 and was stationed in South Korea, where he began studying martial arts—first Tang Soo Do and later Taekwondo. This experience ignited his passion for martial arts and discipline, which became cornerstones of his life. After returning to the United States, Norris immersed himself in martial arts training, eventually achieving black belts in multiple disciplines, including Tang Soo Do and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
Norris opened a chain of karate schools and taught celebrities such as Priscilla Presley and Steve McQueen. His talent and dedication were evident, and he became the first Westerner to achieve an 8th-degree black belt in Taekwondo. Norris also entered martial arts competitions, winning numerous titles, including the Professional Middleweight Karate Champion title, which he held for six years consecutively until 1974. His accomplishments in martial arts garnered respect and recognition, ultimately paving the way for his transition to Hollywood.
