WIKIPEDIA
Chun Kuk Do is a hybrid martial art founded and first taught by Chuck Norris. Norris started to develop the style in the 1970s and after using a number of names for his developing style the current name was adopted in 1990. The phrase "Chun Kuk Do" is loosely translated as "Universal Way" - more literal translations from the Korean are "the way of 1000 lands" or "the way of many lands." This art evolved from Chuck Norris' original training in Tang Soo Do, a Korean hard style striking martial art. This development has included the evolution and integration of Tang Soo Do with elements of Taekwondo, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Wrestling, Muay Thai, Shotokan and many other martial arts.[citation needed] In some areas, the style was initially marketed as "Chuck Norris-style Tang Soo Do". Each summer Chun Kuk Do and its governing organization the United Fighting Arts Federation (UFAF) hold a convention and Chun Kuk Do world championship tournament in Las Vegas, Nevada. |
