He is the third Westerner in the documented history of Tae Kwon Do to be given the rank of 8th Degree Black Belt Grand Master, though he is often erroneously credited as the first. Also erroneously, Taekwondo is typically cited as his martial art. Chuck first studied Tang Soo Do, making it very popular in the west. He studied several other martial arts, including Taekwondo, Judo, Hapkido, multiple forms of Karate including Shotokan, Kenpo and Kyokushin and Brazilian JiuJitsu, later on.

He studied several other martial arts, including Taekwondo, Judo, Hapkido, multiple forms of Karate including Shotokan, Kenpo and Kyokushin and Brazilian JiuJitsu, later on.

He experienced a recent burst of popularity which can be linked to two pop-cultural phenomena: First, after the debut of the Chuck Norris lever on ''Late Night With Creator/ConanOBrien'' (which produced a humorous out-of-context clip of ''Walker, Texas Ranger''). Second, after the formulation of the "[[Website/ChuckNorrisFacts Chuck Norris Fact Generator]]" (a spin-off of a similar generator for Creator/VinDiesel), a MemeticMutation wherein facts were given that depicted Norris as [[MemeticBadass an unstoppable force of badassery]], that quickly gained wide popularity. The concept reached AscendedMeme status in a campaign ad for Republican Mike Huckabee. He also [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKaIlT_lK1s appears in a commercial]] for ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'' as part of a series of celebrity endorsements of the game. To a montage of him delivering a CurbStompBattle to enemies, a narrator proudly proclaims "there are ten million people in the world of Warcraft because Chuck Norris allows them to live!"
