See this video of Van Damme compared to Bruce Lee's legacy : ukposts.info/have/v-deo/m2GDeK6opW6bxWw.html

While learning CPR Chuck Norris actually brought the practice dummy to life

Chuck was 44 here, imagine how good he was at his peak in late 60's and early 70's.

I'm just glad I was alive in the 80s. Probably the best decade ever in the entire history of mankind.

JCVD always said on his interviews how thankful he was about Chuck's help in his early years in Hollywood! Very nice!

Wow, I had no idea this ever happened! And Chuck Norris's back kicks are brutal, man.

Bruce Lee respected chuck and said chuck was very good and real. They both respected each other and became great friends.

Chuck Norris is a living legend and Van Damme is also a living legend both legendary martial artists much respect for them both

Yep chuck is an all around classy guy... really served in the service, really studied martial arts, helped his guys make millions and takes care of his family... my hero

When Chuck Norris landed the first kick, I had to reset my router.

Chuck Norris is one of the few actors who could actually legitimately kick ass. People really don’t know how good he was

Two of the realest martial artists ever to grace the big screen!! Legendary

this is such rare footage and I've never seen it before and I had heard that Van Damme was a trainer for Chuck Norris went Van Damme first went over to the United states so it is amazing to see this footage and to think how far Jean Claude went in his career after this. I got to see John Claude at the 2008 Canne Film Festival in France and it was a highlight of my life because I yelled out to him "Jean Claude I love you and give us a kick" while he was being interviewed by press and I was two stories up on the next building and he heard me and he turned around to me and my friends and he said "hey guys" and then he stood on one leg put the other leg in the air and rotated around 360 while doing repetitive kicks and we all went nuts with excitement and I'll never forget it for the rest of my life, he's such a great dude. Love you Jean Claude 😁💗

After Van practiced with Chuck Norris for 30 seconds, he could do epic splits.

Chuck Norris, a legend. One of the rare people alive to day that had a direct contact with the biggest legends of them all: Bruce Lee.

When this report was filmed, JCVD ​​was still completely unknown. He is also introduced in this clip as "Jean-Claude" who is Belgian Champion. That explanation will be completely superfluous a few years later when he's a well-known action hero himself. Also, he is Chuck Norris' assistant at this point.

I've read many times people saying that Norris' kicks were incredibly strong. He's known to be one of the hardest kickers ever. His speed is good, some guys are faster (Bruce Lee was an incredibly fast kicker), but his power was amongst the top. Read an LA Times Sunday article in the late 90's where the writer asked to hold the kicking pad while Chuck did the spin kick. The writer thought he was ready and Norris launched him across the mat onto his ass.

Around this time, back in Belgium, people who knew Van Damme mocked him for being "Chuck Norris' punching bag," because he hadn't yet become a movie star. They stopped mocking him after Bloodsport!

This made me realize we’ll never get that classic van damme vs norris movie what a fight it coulda been cinematic wise

*The changing of the guard. Bruce Lee to Chuck Norris to Jean Claude Vandamme.*

So much respect for these two✊🏾

Chucks side kick cracked my phone screen 🤣😆🤦🏾‍♂

Van Damme is a massive Bruce Lee fan, hence the affinity with Chuck, a friend and ex training partner of Bruce

Chuck had some serious power back in the day! Imagine him in his prime.

I spent years as a kid watching those two. Life was simple back then school, games and vcr videos of ninjas y badasses

jcvd and cn together....wow never seen this....thank u 👊

I was surprised at first, but then I remembered that Van Damme had a small part in the first Missing In Action Movie that Chuck Norris did. Great moment captured right here!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Joder, esa patada giratoria de Norris, madre mía, le movía a van Damme. Vaya dos maestros.

And 4 years later, Van Damme become a star.. ;)

Here's a rough translation of what the narrator says: Visiting Chuck Norris. If you don't know who he is, ask your kids. Karate star par excellence. The number of his fans from all over the world gets bigger and bigger. He is the undisputed champion. He began to train karate in Korea, he was stationed there as a member of the American air force. He came back to America with the black belt and - as Chuck puts it - he became world champion due to hard training and much luck. That was in 1968. Self-defense technique, Jean-Claude is a Belgian champion, currently Chuck's assistant trainer. Hard training, every morning. Ever since the death of Bruce Lee, the legendary star of many karate movies, Chuck Norris is said to be the only successor. Of Course 17 year old Eric admires his father too, but he doesn't want to be his successor. He has to go to school, see you later. He has a very good reputation in Hollywood because all of his movies were big hits at the box office. In private life, the Norrises present themselves as a very happy family. She was 17 and he was 18 when they married. My wife always had a strong influence on me, Chuck Norris says, because nothing came easy and natural to me. The people who nowadays only talk about my success have no clue how hard it was for me. For example, I had no experience at all as an actor, so I had to take acting classes. That was hard training as well and I'm still learning to this day.

Wow!! Never knew they worked out together. That's awesome 👍👍👊👊

I've worked out with him, in that same room. It's in his home, in Palos Verdes Estates, CA. I was there ,the summer of 1983. Super nice guy. That was his wife at the time, Diane. I remember, they had a beautiful spiral staircase, in the living room.

I'm glad I can speak Deautsch. Chuck and Norris! Never knew and glad you uploaded this. Thanks.

Chuck Norris' roundhouse kick is so powerful, it can be seen from outer space by the naked eye.

Alot of ppl don't know this he has 7 different martial arts ( all black belts ) including his own system Chun Kuk , others like tang Soo do, tae Kwon do, karate & even judo ( all degrees between 3rd-10th ) . That is true dedication to martial arts.

Fantastic two legends together , martial arts brilliance displayed

Norris, Van Damme, Adkins. The cycle is complete.

Damn, Norris, is the ultimate Martial Arts badass of that time.

Chuck has a black belt in judo and Bjj under the machados to go along with exceptional stand/up skills. Complete martial artist.

Pure class . I do a lot of martial arts especially JKD . Bloodsport is my favourite JCVD film.

Amazing , two movie legends working out. Chuck really shows his championships skills

Chuck did a really great full split, training with stretches consistently to get that, not easy.

Can't say enough about Chuck. What an exceptional example of a fantastic human being. If the aliens came down, take them to HIM!!

I met chuck at comiccon,west aust,amazingly humble genuine person...even took picture with me&my kids

I never knew that they worked out together that was cool

For those not understanding what the narrator says: Chuck norris was sent to Korea when he was at military service. He was responisble for kicking to much ass over there so while he was in south Korea the north had to close its borders. Thats why until today Kim jung dynasty are scared shitless and are desperate making nukes hoping to stop him if he returns. Chuck also mentioned training with Bruce Lee and that it was a bit of a challange becuse he got frustrated being hit without noticing. After the death of Bruce, Chuck got his confidance back and north Korea is in rush making nukes. Oh and Jean claude was fascinated by Chuck becuse he invented the splits.

I only had the opportunity and pleasure of attending ‘one’ of Chuck Norris’s schools, located in Chula Vista, California for just under a year. After leaving the service, moved to another state and was not able to attend his school again. I learned so much, in a short time, and have applied much of those teachings in other styles of Karate. I do miss those days of ‘68 on 3rd. Street.

2 great fighters together.

Steven Seagal sure could show both of these guys a thing or two, the true master!

Sou fan. Sempre assisti seus filmes. Sensacional, parabens, por nos dar a honra de assistir tanta competencia e talentos juntos.

Man... anyone would've killed for A Chuck Norris and Jean Claude Van Damme duo movie. That would've been great to watch

Chuck and Jean Claude are two great gentlemen. God bless you both and I hope to meet you oneday soon!

I never knew I was missing this. I now have a feeling of completion.

1:21 when his son Eric was in junior high another classmate said to him, "you still kiss your dad?" Eric grabbed him by the shirt and replied, "Yeah, you got a problem with that!"

My seifu was Tuan Nguyen, when I joined, there was a picture of him and Chuck Norris stand side by side on the wall...it was 1987, walking into a training camp everyday and seeing Chuck Norris on the wall with the man who trains you, the inspiration in itself is heart warming.

legend vs legend those where action stars. Van Damme impressed the hell out of me in No retreat not surrender... speed agility and freaken shape... still watch this movie in 2022

Never knew they trained together, awesome.

So much testosterone UKposts started speaking foreign languages.

This was Legendary. Thank you.

Chuck Norris. Legend says he built the hospital he was born in.

Two legends. Two class full legends

Wow! JCVD & Chuck Norris together. RESPECT. Thanks for uploading :-)

Love Mr Chuck Norris. A Decent human being and true Martial Artist

In the movie Bloodsport I had never seen anybody sit between 2 chairs like Jean Claude Vandamme did.I loved the Walker Texas Ranger TV Show too

Right on! Only caught a few seconds of this video. I like it 👍 because Chuck Norris spinning back kicks looked strong 💪; even though he was not teaching, or doing competition. One can only tell he was trying his best to put maximum effort into his techniques through his work outs. Chuck always has done that and always will do that for himself. Even at Chuck's age he still gives martial arts his best effort.

wow that's awesome two legends training together, I never knew that. goes to show you that there's a lot we don't know about these famous guys ....

Видео 84го года. Я родился в 83. Сколько помню, чак всегда делал такую вертушку😁 Выше пояса он не мог ударить ногой с разворота🤣

Huge Chuck Norris Fan, I Have All His Movies, I Wish These 2 Legends Made a Movie Together Back In The 90's What a Face Off That Would Have Been.

You know, after seeing this video, I have more respect for chuck's ability as a fighter. This level of ability isn't really shown in his films except the way of the dragon. His fluid movement, power and flexibility is really impressive.

When Chuck Norris does push-ups, he’s not pushing himself up HES PUSHING THE WORLD DOWN!

Chuck was super nice to help Vandam get his legendary biceps. He was such a skinny guy until he survived those kicks to the pad. Its said his arm's grew 4 sizes that day. P.s.- condolences to the family of that guy that Chuck threw the fake punches at, having every internal organ liquefied is a tough way to go.

sir iam from srilanka , we still love bruce lee , chuck , and jean claude may both live long

I'm lucky that i got to see chuck in his prime. I've seen matches that you won't be able to see on UKposts. Chuck always wore the red pants and he was awesome

I wonder what it would've been like for Chuck Norris & JCVD to do a movie together in the early '90s...hmm.

You know you've made it when you get to train with the legend that is Chuck Norris

Chuck man ! he will go down a legend he was fearless in a fight , confident fighter , respect big homie .😎

Красавчики 👍👍👍💫.Две легенды 🎆🎆🎆

Chuck Norris is so tough, just his beard alone could beat you up

Go watch on UKposts : « *Jean-Claude Van Damme Television Appearance (Martial Arts Karate) 1983* »

Two legends, love it 💪

Legend says, TV Channel spent 100 million for special effects where Chuck Norris kicks Van Damme. Without those effects Van Damme simply turns into dust with those kicks!

This video truly shows what an awesome guy Mr Norris really was and is. Van Damme was just coming up the ranks trying to get a break, if it hadn't been for Norris he never would have gotten that break. Menahem Golam produced many of Chuck's movies and he is the one who gave VanDamme his first protagonist role in 'Blood Sport'. All Chuck had to do was say something against Jean Claude and that would have been it, lucky for VanDamme he didn't and the rest is history. VanDamme should build a statue to Norris in his house, period.

Chuck Norris’ powers are so great, that only a few chosen people can actually be his sparring partner. Example: Jean Claude Van Damme

Two greats in one video. Amazing!

Van Damme was a cameraman for the German TV channel, with no martial arts training, and was asked to stand in for the filming, holding a punching bag. After the 2 minutes interview, he could instantly do epic splits, and won the European Karate title the following Thursday.

The Chuck Norris forecast....cloudy with a 90% chance of pain

5 minutes after this clip was recorded, the universe reseted itself due to overload of legendary.

Beautiful kicking technique by the master.

Cowabunga! Fantastic to see this! 👍

When Chuck landed the first kick my phone flew across the room.

Grande relíquia Van Damme e Chuck Norris juntos

God Damn I love Chucks Form and Footwork 🤤🤤🤤

2 action heroes of my childhood =) thx

When the Boogeyman goes to sleep every night, he checks his closet for Chuck Norris. Another legend is that Chuck Norris sleeps with a night light. Not because Chuck Norris is afraid of the dark, but the dark is afraid of Chuck Norris.

Chuck was impressively flexible & fit here, particularly for a guy in his mid-forties. And what a mean spinning back kick! Jean Claude was always more naturally flexible, sometimes had prettier, more flashy kicks, but Chuck looked like he could really fight (and he trained in a wider variety of styles, more like a modern mixed martial artist).

Two legends

Those punches were great too. Fast and looked like they packed power.

I just saw a shirt the other day about Chuckisms. One comment said Chuck Norris is so tough he can gargle with peanut butter. Now that's tough! My favorite though is about the new Chuck Norris toilet paper. Do you know why they had to pull it off the shelf? Because it wouldn't take shit from anybody!

You can hear the boom when Chuck Norris kicks the bags and pads .

This video made my day!
