Grand Master Norris
wants to spend an hour with you.
As an attendee of the 2017 ITC,
you can be part of an hour called
"Time With Grandmaster Chuck Norris - Martial Arts Philosophies According to Chuck Norris."
When most people think of Chuck Norris, they think of the hero from the action movies or the series, “Walker, Texas Ranger”. But for the members of UFAF, he is more than Chuck Norris the actor. To the students of the Chuck Norris System, UFAF BJJ and UFAF KMF, he is Mr. Norris, our founder, instructor and inspiration to be great martial artists.
Here is a short bio on Grand Master Norris:
Mr. Norris was a six-time undefeated World Professional Middleweight Karate Champion. Mr. Norris was also a renowned teacher in the martial arts. Some of his many students included Steve McQueen, Bob Barker, Priscilla Presley and Donnie & Marie Osmond.
Mr. Norris was the first person ever voted into the Black Belt Hall of Fame.
From 1965 through 1980, he won many state, national, and international championships. Mr. Norris received the Competitor of the Year award in 1968 and was the first man ever to win the World Professional Karate Championship. In 1975, Mr. Norris received the Instructor of the Year award, and in 1977, the Competitor of the Year.
In 1997, Mr. Norris reached another milestone in his life: he was the first man ever in the western hemisphere to be awarded an 8th degree Black Belt Grand Master recognition in the Tae Kwon Do martial arts system. This was a first in 4,500 years of tradition.
He is also founder of the United Fighting Arts Federation with more than 3,300 Chuck Norris System Black Belts all over the world.
