Chuck Norris holds a 9th Dan black belt in Tang Soo Do, 8th Dan in tae Kwon do . 5th Dan in karate . 3rd Dan in Brazilian jiu-jitsu and a black belt in judo ! When did he sleep ? A lot of respect for Mr Norris
He grew up dirt poor, endured financial crisis, overcame it, and managed to become a super-successful star basking in wealth. The snowflake millennials of today need to look to him to see what being a real man is all about.
Lying about earning a Judo Black Belt and claiming that you are a fighter when your competition record is nothing more than point sparring isn't exactly a sign of "humbleness"
His spirit continues to teach, maybe it's corny but I attributed to, like in Star wars where Obi-Wan says if you strike me down and I will become more powerful than you can imagine. If we pay attention he teaches us about the underworld and the warnings of wicked deeds and the use of drugs to facilitate nefarious activities. This very well could have been one of the reasons why they killed him because of the exposure he was facilitating. An excellent teacher who continues to teach even in spirit.
He will always be the greatest in our. Life Bruce and. All of the greatest. Martial artist. Amen. To them. All appreciate all of them I love to watch. Them all they are awesome to watch and I have everyone of. Bruce Lee and. Chuck Norris movies and jet Lei movie and Scott arkins I have. All of them they are awesome to watch thank you to all of the greatest movies in martial artist to them and there families God bless you all happy new years to all !!
All the fighting games, all the fighting movies and all the anime were all inspired by bruce lee. No one has ever touched bruce lee on his level. People come close but not quite.
Dan is the epitome of a martial arts Master. Humble, eloquent, and funny! He once described how the worst hit he ever took in his life was from his young daughter running to give him a hug with arms outstretched, and one hand caught him in the eye. He said all he could do was lay on the ground and cry for 10 minutes. Hence why his Kali teachings love the eye jabs, he's been on the receiving end.
@@garysnow1475 it depends when he first saw CN on tv/film....younger generations would have only seen him in the 1990s as they werent born or were too young to remember him in the 1980s.... And just to show what I mean, Chuck was 1970s star way before the 1980s...thanks to him being in films like Way of the Dragon with Bruce Lee in 1972 and then in other flicks in mid to late 1970s.
@@friktionrc you are correct my friend. I didn't start watching Chuck Norris movies until the 90's. I was born 82 but didn't really start watching his movies til the early 90's. That's why I said 90's knowing he was the 80's. Hell earlier then that if he played in Way of The Dragon with Master Lee. My favorite Chuck movie is LONE WOLF MCQUADE.

There will never be a or any competitor to what Chuck & Bruce did in the movie industries. It's gone more than 40 years now on and there is no fight scene like what Chuck n Bruce did.
Chuck Norris was Bruce Lee’s second choice. He had that part for Joe Lewis but Lewis did not want to lose to Lee on screen. Look at the difference in ego(Lewis) and humbleness(Norris), in careers. The world knows Norris and Lee. Outside of karate circles Lewis is not very well known to the world. Always like Chuck Norris’ films, he really had a great movie career after that role in Lee’s movie…
@@rexrush5594 Being well known doesn't mean anything, from what I know Mr. Lewis was doing very well in life and always had a lot good things to say about Bruce. But comparing to the others he was also telling what he didn't like about Bruce and JKD. He was impressed with Bruce's abilities, but he never looked at him like on some kind of super human. From what I heard from Mr. Lewis , he always had fair points about Bruce.
@@smesh141 I know all of what you just stated. I’m just saying that it could have been Joe Lewis instead of Chuck Norris’ in that world wide fame/movie space. Didn’t say Lewis wasn’t doing well in his own endeavors.
I've been a Bruce lee fan since I was 11. 48 now, the respect and awe has never diminished. I've been to a Bruce lee convention, spoke to people who knew him. I had a local artist commission a Bruce lee portrait back in 2018, and came very close to buying a worn and used sparring mask that he once owned. Legend
I met Chuck Norris when he was filming Walker Texas Ranger in Frisco. He was so humble and down to earth. Truly a honor to meet him. Bruce Lee was the greatest of all time.
Bruce, was a tremendous talent and anyone who can fight sees it. I've been boxing since a young girl, doing martial arts last year. He had amazing speed and hit like a heavyweight!
I’m sorry but chuck Norris knows very well that Bruce lee was a much more accomplished martial artist than he was and would ever become and 1 on 1 he would not last more than 10 seconds and then he would have to be running with all chuck’s black belt in this and that it is not important Bruce was a master of many more 7 level or Dan in far more style’s than chuck was but his own style was not to have a style and not be confined to any style ( a philosophical statement he used to say would be along the lines of Be water 😮my friend be water ie you should adapt to whatever comes at you and 1 more thing Chuck knows very well that without sifu lee Chuckie just wouldn’t be, with all due respect to all Chuckies hard work and everything else he achieved you cannot compare him in in anyway shape form or on any level
Like you said, " Some of them ". You got to remember, b 4 full contact was even thought about, everyone in competition was pulling their punches (with the exception of Bruce Lee, who did not believe in playing tag, he believed in wearing safety equipment and going 100% ALL OUT, JUST LIKE WESTERN BOXING IN A BOXING RING).BL was way ahead of everyone's time. Pulling your punches and kicks and throwing a person to the matt(you lay the person down gently, no full contact, no throwing a person down hard on the matt).Bruce Lee has a saying," that would be like swimming on dry land, in order to learn how to swim you have to get into the water!
All that sounds exciting, until you see all of your best friends showing signs of pugilistic dementia Bruce was only 33 when he died! There are some who believe that the edema his brain suffered at the time of his death was aggravated by concussion! Parts of his face showed swelling, check the photos! There's no glory in brain damage, especially inflicting it on others! just a pathetic death.... SO PULL YOUR PUNCHES AND KICKS WHILE SPARRING. Remember, it was never meant to be a sport.
@@scottbatey3130 Fair points. And yet Norris, who certainly took plenty of hits, is still alive and relatively healthy. In fact, for a man his age, he's in sterling shape. Even if those competitive sparring partners pulled their punches, I'm sure Norris got his bell rang or his clock cleaned more than once.
Always loved Chuck Norris and Bruce Lee both. And i have mad respect for both of them. That was an iconic scene in movie history and for martial arts lovers all over the world. Especially little kids like us growing up back then ,pretending we could fight just like them, and inspiring some of us to actually go on to study martial arts in some form or fashion. Legends.

We need to hear more from Chuck Norris like this. I just saw a motivational piece by Sylvester Stallone that was one of the best I've ever seen. Chuck has The credibility to do the same.
Love this. So many people who never grew up during bruce lees time or knew him or trained with him think they know him so well and fighting ethic here is actual testimonial proof from someone who did all of the above with him and also was a champion saying what should be the obvious.
I'm greatful to have had the opportunity to be a student in a Norris studio back in the late 70s. He and his immediate staff were very nice. His signature on my belt card is a prized possession.
@@efisgpr I studied Parker's Kenpo and Funakoshi's Shotokan in Northern California. I found a studio run by one of Mr Norris' students in very northwest Montana, of all places but, it was a direct affiliate of the United Fighting Arts Federation (UFAF) which Mr Norris founded along with Pat Johnson and was overseen by Mr Norris and his executive students who made regular visits to give lessons and ensure everything was going as prescribed by the Federation. I've been very fortunate to have very traditional, bona-fide instructors from which to develop my martial arts, so many McDojos today may or more likely may not have the discipline, philosophy and educational aspects to go along with the physical aspect of their arts. Some independent studios are fine as they are off-chutes of the old schools. Some of the "chains" are lacking in depth of origin and especially discipline, demanding performance and a true understanding on the part of the students and as long as you keep paying your money, they keep giving you belts. A good friend (female) of mine was so proud the day she said she got her "black belt..." I just couldn't granulated her and smiled but, I know that her physical capabilities weren't up to snuff and the philosophy that should come with it just wasn't a factor there. There was some, don't get me wrong but it was "first level" stuff. No "passing of the keys." I was brought up that knowing what you don't know is more important than knowing what you do. Anyway, didn't mean to wax philosophic, I'm just fortunate enough to be of "that generation" to be able to have access to those experiences and teachers.
Bruce Lee had the best technique I have ever seen bar none. His quick twitch muscles were made for this. Break down all those fights on film and pay attention to the details as far as balance and weight distribution along with angles and footwork. Beyond elite. Guy was a freak of nature. It is humanly impossible to be any more dedicated to his craft and more disciplined.
@@efisgpr Thank you. You see you get it. There is a reason the dude is on the cover of martial arts magazines 50 years after his passing. I was taught bye someone who taught with a similar philosophy master Richie Barathy of American Combat Karate.
@Dooray MArshall The best tournament fighter on the East coast named Louis Delgado from Nisei Goju in Alphabet City in Manhattan went out to California and fought with Bruce. Bruce wiped the floor with him. This is a fact.
For all the naysayers out there, I grew up in Seattle like Bruce Lee and was totally obsessed with wanting to be like this man. I even learned and master his coin switching trick. Today, I can do the nunchucks at full speed blindfolded and have shown the video to friends and acquaintances to everyone's amazement. I told everyone that had Bruce Lee done it blindfolded, it would have been at an insane speed compared to mine.
👏👏👏👍👍👍He was incredeble fast and if he went the competitive route he would done extremely well. This is said by a 7 times world champion karate. So to the peoples who are thinking he was only an actor : 🙂😊😄🤣. Nice interview my friend, first time i see it 👍🙂
@karateka J 👏👍 yeah my friend this is proof Bruce Lee wasn't just an actor he was a real fighter. all the haters out there how much proof do you need??? 😁👍👍👍
Before he said he would have done extremely well.. he was going to say something out of this world.. like he would have been world champ easily.. Or he would have kicked ass easily dominating.. watch again.. but he pause , maybe not to piss off other fighters or for what ever reason.. still great respect to Bruce from chuck Norris 👍🙏🏽
Nobody knows how it would be, but Bruce was extreme kind of hard worker. When you read about his evolution, his notes, workout plans, as Chuck said, training was his life. You know that this guy didn't want to waste any second of his life, just pure dedication and passion to get better and better every day in every aspect connected to martial arts. Very rare kind of man with incredible mind set.
Guys people dont realize bruce was a fighter before an actor, when he was young he was getting in all sorts of fights that's the reason why his father sent him to America to go to school, so that he.can try and change his ways.
Bruce Lee was very intelligent, he had to get stuck at competitions limited by rules that had rather little to do with fighting. he became a father at an early age and wore contact lenses, who knows if they were made of glass at the time. Be careful what you ask for, he wanted fame and then he had to drink it with all the consequences, who knows if he overpaid the highest price, i.e. with the final death. he stole from commercialized and made money on his art One day he closed all schools because he noticed that people took his teachings badly, they wanted to be like him and not to explore the inner self. Bruce Lee was an incredibly interesting person
If Chuck Norris was President would be in a much better place. God bless America and Chuck Norris. Your autobiography has inspired me more than you could ever know. You're a true patriot and a great man.

Dan Inosanto has taken more shots from Bruce Lee than any other man. If he says Bruce Lee can shell shock any man then he can
Don't pay attention to these jerks on here.

I found a studio run by one of Mr Norris' students in very northwest Montana, of all places but, it was a direct affiliate of the United Fighting Arts Federation (UFAF) which Mr Norris founded along with Pat Johnson and was overseen by Mr Norris and his executive students who made regular visits to give lessons and ensure everything was going as prescribed by the Federation.
I've been very fortunate to have very traditional, bona-fide instructors from which to develop my martial arts, so many McDojos today may or more likely may not have the discipline, philosophy and educational aspects to go along with the physical aspect of their arts. Some independent studios are fine as they are off-chutes of the old schools. Some of the "chains" are lacking in depth of origin and especially discipline, demanding performance and a true understanding on the part of the students and as long as you keep paying your money, they keep giving you belts. A good friend (female) of mine was so proud the day she said she got her "black belt..." I just couldn't granulated her and smiled but, I know that her physical capabilities weren't up to snuff and the philosophy that should come with it just wasn't a factor there. There was some, don't get me wrong but it was "first level" stuff. No "passing of the keys." I was brought up that knowing what you don't know is more important than knowing what you do.
Anyway, didn't mean to wax philosophic, I'm just fortunate enough to be of "that generation" to be able to have access to those experiences and teachers.
I love Chuck and Bruce. God rest his soul.
A living legend honoring the legend of Bruce Lee,, Chuck is the man👊
Chuck comes across as so humble. God bless you sir. UK comment
Huge respect mr.Norris.
Bruce Lee had the best technique I have ever seen bar none. His quick twitch muscles were made for this. Break down all those fights on film and pay attention to the details as far as balance and weight distribution along with angles and footwork. Beyond elite. Guy was a freak of nature. It is humanly impossible to be any more dedicated to his craft and more disciplined.
Well said! 31 years of martial arts for me so far and his technique is perfection: the more I learn, the more I see there. It's beyond amazing.
@@efisgpr Thank you. You see you get it. There is a reason the dude is on the cover of martial arts magazines 50 years after his passing. I was taught bye someone who taught with a similar philosophy master Richie Barathy of American Combat Karate.
@Dooray MArshall The best tournament fighter on the East coast named Louis Delgado from Nisei Goju in Alphabet City in Manhattan went out to California and fought with Bruce. Bruce wiped the floor with him. This is a fact.
@Dooray MArshall did a lot more then point fighting. But you are a genius and 17 so you know.
@Dooray MArshall look for arguments elsewhere.
Chuck is one of the best ever, and I like how he acknowledged his one time friend and colleague Bruce Lee.R.I.P
For all the naysayers out there, I grew up in Seattle like Bruce Lee and was totally obsessed with wanting to be like this man. I even learned and master his coin switching trick. Today, I can do the nunchucks at full speed blindfolded and have shown the video to friends and acquaintances to everyone's amazement. I told everyone that had Bruce Lee done it blindfolded, it would have been at an insane speed compared to mine.
@Dooray MArshall lmao
"Bruce had hand speed was 0.05 of a second, including reaction time."

Bruce was a fake fighter. No actual real fights. Hulk Hogan is as real as Bruce Lee.
@Joseph Shannon you must have SMS (small man syndrome) angry at the world!!! 🤣🤣🤣👎👎👎

@@js09js09 at least he is good enough to beat your ass easily if you were there in the 60’sand 70’s!
No hero worship just pure admiration... thanks Chuck for you and Bruce because together you both changed the world of martial arts forever...!!!
Chuck is a legend too. I think it's cool that they were friends. I am a fan of them both.
You Both are Icons.👏👏👏
Bruce didn,t have to become a fighter, because he already was. THE BEST.
Not.
@@amireplays3571 He "was" You know the difference?
He was an actor
@@061577lynt So you know him better than Chuck Norris or Don inosanto other martial artists ok bro lol
@@061577lynt And not a very good one
Good to hear Chuck's take on how good Lee was. It sounds like Lee was great no matter what road he chose.
Chuck Norris has always been a class act. Very few of them still remain in Hollywood.
👏👏👏👍👍👍He was incredeble fast and if he went the competitive route he would done extremely well. This is said by a 7 times world champion karate. So to the peoples who are thinking he was only an actor : 🙂😊😄🤣. Nice interview my friend, first time i see it 👍🙂
@karateka J 👏👍 yeah my friend this is proof Bruce Lee wasn't just an actor he was a real fighter. all the haters out there how much proof do you need??? 😁👍👍👍
That 7 time WORLD Champion Martial Artists is MR.Chuck Norris.
Before he said he would have done extremely well.. he was going to say something out of this world.. like he would have been world champ easily.. Or he would have kicked ass easily dominating.. watch again.. but he pause , maybe not to piss off other fighters or for what ever reason.. still great respect to Bruce from chuck Norris 👍🙏🏽
Nobody knows how it would be, but Bruce was extreme kind of hard worker. When you read about his evolution, his notes, workout plans, as Chuck said, training was his life. You know that this guy didn't want to waste any second of his life, just pure dedication and passion to get better and better every day in every aspect connected to martial arts. Very rare kind of man with incredible mind set.
Hey
Guys people dont realize bruce was a fighter before an actor, when he was young he was getting in all sorts of fights that's the reason why his father sent him to America to go to school, so that he.can try and change his ways.
Yes, he fought a lot of Chinese men who were even smaller than him.
Very respectful recounting of the immortal Bruce Lee! Thank you!
Always humble, nothing but respect for Chuck.
Bruc Lee was the King and hi stil the king off all tiem
Bruce Lee was very intelligent, he had to get stuck at competitions limited by rules that had rather little to do with fighting. he became a father at an early age and wore contact lenses, who knows if they were made of glass at the time. Be careful what you ask for, he wanted fame and then he had to drink it with all the consequences, who knows if he overpaid the highest price, i.e. with the final death. he stole from commercialized and made money on his art One day he closed all schools because he noticed that people took his teachings badly, they wanted to be like him and not to explore the inner self. Bruce Lee was an incredibly interesting person
Your english wording and sentence structuring is terrible!.., either english isn't your native language or you were an early school dropout!?!?
Respect to Chuck Norris, a living legend. Bruce Lee, greatest martial artist ever.
Thank u, Mr. Norris for your kind and unselfish words towards Mr Lee. I'm 57 yrs old and remember. Thank you.
Carlos Norris still look like he can whoop some ass...salute sir 👍🏽🍺
Legend….right here!!!
Chuck is a warrior and a gentleman. I never expect to see the likes of him again.
2 legends man respect 👍
Lil known fact: Bruce Lee was so fast that they had to slow down the punches in his scenes so that the audience can see the punch land.
Wow, seeing the great Chuck Norris talking with so much respect about Bruce Lee is inspiring, a legend saying good things about other legend
If Chuck Norris was President would be in a much better place. God bless America and Chuck Norris. Your autobiography has inspired me more than you could ever know. You're a true patriot and a great man.
