The Octagon - Chuck Norris 1980
On TV right now. I was a yellow belt when it came out and I thought it was the best movie in the world
Jiu-Jitsu - like chess, except you get to choke people.

Dang..wish I knew, I would have taped it. The Octagon is impossible to find on tape or DVD.

You know it just doesn't seem to have the same appeal it did 24 years ago. I think we can safely blame the ninja craze of the 80's on Chuck.

I too remember when the Octagon came out.
It was a great motivator.
In regards to Chuck Norris, I agree with you on him being a standup guy.
I have always heard that he is a good person and that has been the consistent message over all these years.
From reading his book, he is a humble guy who has not forgotten where he came from and a Christian.
Does he have faults, sure who does not?
Got to give credit where it’s due.
Chuck Norris, Urban, Lewis and Wallace where the pioneers that made American MA possible. For that we should also give respect.
