Chun Kuk Do is a hybrid martial art founded and first taught by Chuck Norris. The phrase "Chun Kuk Do" means "Universal Way." This art evolved from Chuck Norris' original training in Tang Soo Do, a Korean hard style striking martial art. This development has included the evolution and integration of Tang Soo Do with elements of Taekwondo, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Wrestling, Muay Thai, Shotokan and many other martial arts.^{[citation needed]} Image File history File links Size of this preview: 444 × 599 pixelsFull resolution (625 × 843 pixel, file size: 86 KB, MIME type: image/jpeg) File history Legend: (cur) = this is the current file, (del) = delete this old version, (rev) = revert to this old version. ...

Code of Ethics

Chun Kuk Do includes a code of ethics 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
