What IS this fascination the folks here in enWorld have with Mr. Norris?

He never was particularly ... err ... intimidating to me on the screen as a character in the movies.... Not like Jean-Claude Van Dame or such.

With the exception of Segal, Norris is possibly the highest belt that went TV.....in modern time.

Segal is rumored to be in a level...... uncivilized in today's world. Rumor only so don't hold me to it.


As far as the sparing.... Jeff is Special Forces and close to his height. During a moral / publicity thing Chuck did they asked for one person to do some demo with him. Jeff knocked him down once then regretted it :D .

Segal is just brutal in his movies. Aikido combined with a nasty bone breaking offense spice? :confused: He's technically a 7th degree black belt in aikido I think....

What Jeff says is the most dangerous thing about his techinique is the power vs moving only one part of his body. Generally to build power one twists / leans into the strike. This can be spotted to defend against. Not so with Segal. Flatfooted he can and will break any bone in your body without you knowing it until you wake up either on the ground or the hospital.


Not saying I like him but I respect his effectiveness much more than most of the other "actors" that use martial arts.
