At the age of 86, Chuck Norris passed away on Friday. During his stay in South Korea, Chuck was attracted to martial arts, in particular, a Korean style of karate called Tang Soo Do. His martial arts training gave him speed and agility, which added credibility to the characters that he played on-screen. The factoids, known as Chuck Norris facts and in some places as Chuck Norris jokes further established the myth of Chuck Norris, though each more absurd than the other. In The Expendables 2, when Sylvester Stallone and Chuck come face to face, Sly says, I heard you were bitten by a cobra.
