You gotta love it when a guy like that is for real, and not just a bag of hot air, created by hollyweird for the sweaty masses to adore. That man is rock solid for real!

Norris joined the Air Force after graduating from high school. During a stint in Korea, he began to study the Asian martial art of Tang Soo Do. He has a 10th degree black belt in Tang Soo Do, and also an 8th degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do...that is, the Korean (or traditional) styles of each Chuck Norris's fight career lasted from 1964-1974. Norris started off by losing his first three tournaments but, by 1966, he was almost unbeatable. Among the numerous titles he won were The National Karate Championships (1966), All-Star Championships (1966), World Middleweight Karate Championship (1967), All-American Karate Championship (1967), Internationals (1968), World Professional Middleweight Karate Championship (defeating Louis Delgado on 24 November 1968), All-American Championship (1968), National Tournament of Champions (1968), American Tang Soo Championship, and the North American Karate Championship. Norris compiled a fight record of 65-5 with wins over champions Joe Lewis, Skipper Mullins, Arnold Urquidez, Ronald L. Marchini, Victor Moore, Louis Delgado, and Steve Sanders. Of the five men to beat Norris, three were Allen Steen, Joe Lewis, and Norris's last career defeat to Louis Delgado in 1968. Norris retired as undefeated Professional Full-Contact Middleweight Champion in 1974. Yeah... I agree seabeescotty ...

ALSO, C.N. was in a movie with Bruce Lee.

As of Akido, yes the movies look staged, but it IS about using the strength, weight, and body movements of your opponent against them. His moves were too "arrogant" if you know what I mean.

... of course the movie is staged... that is why it is called a movie.

What I listed is accomplishments, not his movie career. If you want his movie career and more information, go to: Chuck Norris .

One of my high school teachers beat chuck norris in a tournament once, he had pictures of it in his class room and was very proud of it. That is well, as proud as you can be of winning a tournament.

As for Segal, this is what I have read/heard from people. Segal came from a rich family. Rich enough where he could travel the world and do whatever he wanted to. So, he ended up in Japan and was training Karate and akido and other arts of the Japanese persuasion. In Asia for a white man to train with the Asians he must prove himself. This is what is known as a closed door student. Meaning you have to earn your right to be there and you have to be accepted. He received lots of great training and proved himself in Japan. Came back to America and started a film career because of his rich family connections.

I am not going to say that Steven Segal is a fake or a phony, the guy definitely has had real training, i will say he is arrogant and an ass.
