text: I've always wondered what all the hype was about too. I always see these new "Chuck Norris Facts" popping up and after a while it just gets old.\n\nMy uncle was a student of his many years ago when Chuck had opened a school in Torrance, CA (my hometown), and I've had some martial arts training myself and would like to pick it up again...but Chuck Norris' face isn't one that comes to my mind when I think of great martial artists or good martial arts movies. Not that he's horrible or anything, I just think he's overrated.
