∙ 14y agoNorris actually took tang soo do. He trained over seas in Korea when he was an air policeman. that was around 1958. Karate comes from Japan not Korea of course but many people use the term Karate as advertisement such as Chuck Norris. As a matter of fact a lot of Tae Kwon Do schools will have Karate signs.
