Chun Kuk Do
Chuck Norris
|
Chun Kuk Do is a hybrid martial art founded
and first taught by
Chuck Norris.
The word "Chun Kuk Do" means "Universal Way". This art consists of a
combination of Tang Soo Do,
Tae Kwon Do,
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu,
Professional Wrestling, Muay Thai,
Shodokan and many other martial arts.
Every summer Chun Kuk Do and its organization UFAF (United Fighting Arts
Federation) hold a convention/tournament in Las Vegas.
Chun Kuk Do includes a code of honor and
rules to live by, much like other forms of martial arts. These rules are
from Chuck Norris' personal code
1. I will develop myself to the
maximum of my potential in all ways.
2. I will forget the mistakes of the past and press on to greater
achievements.
3. I will always be in a positive frame of mind and convey this
feeling to every person that I meet.
4. I will continually work at developing love, happiness and loyalty
in my family and acknowledge that no other success can compensate
for failure in the home.
5. I will look for the good in all people and make them feel
worthwhile.
6. If I have nothing good to say about a person, I will say nothing.
7. I will give so much time to the improvement of myself that I will
have no time to criticize others.
8. I will always be as enthusiastic about the success of others as I
am about my own.
9. I will maintain an attitude of open-mindedness toward another
person's viewpoint while still holding fast to that which I know to
be true and honest.
10. I will maintain respect for those in authority and demonstrate
this respect at all times.
11. I will always remain loyal to God, my country, family and my
friends.
12. I will remain highly goal-oriented throughout my life because
that positive attitude helps my family, my country, and myself.
The Chun Kuk Do creed consists of four
basic principles:
- Discipline
- Integrity
- Loyalty
- Respect
