The Roundhouse Files

Chuck Norris Martial Arts Facts

Before the internet turned him into a myth, Chuck Norris was a real fighter. He learned Tang Soo Do while stationed in South Korea with the U.S. Air Force, won the Professional Middleweight Karate Championship in 1968 and held it for six years before retiring undefeated, and later founded his own system, Chun Kuk Do. That is why the roundhouse kick jokes hit differently: the man could actually do it.

This collection is the home of every roundhouse kick fact, every black belt joke, and every fact about what happens to a punching bag after Chuck is done with it. They are ranked by the community, so the classics rise to the top.
