I think Most in this community understand, but a lot of younger people only knew him as an actor. He was also an undefeated Champion:
He held the World Professional Middleweight Karate Championship title for six consecutive years. He won his first title in 1968 and retired as the undefeated champion in 1974.

If you’re talking about more a kickboxing point type match, back then, it probably wouldn’t be as close as you would think. Now a MMA type match with grappling might would be interesting with Chong Li’s (Bolo Yeung) size and power. But truthfully I always thought Chong Li (Bolo Yeung) was slow, although I really liked his character in Blood Sport. He was a good bad guy.

Actually a really good actor out there that is a legit good martial artist is Scott Adkins. He does some impressive strikes, punches, kicks, knees in the Undisputed movies playing the character Boyka. And Chuck was one of the Martial Artists that inspired him growing up…….
Scott Adkins met martial arts legend Chuck Norris. Adkins shared on his Instagram and Facebook pages in July 2023 that it was a pleasure to finally meet Norris, describing it as a "big moment" and citing him as a major inspiration.
They are all pretty good action movies that give that 80s-90s feel. Definitely a dude’s type of movies.

I’d be quite alright having that exact build being vertically challenged and all. If memory serves me correctly, isn’t he 5’ 6/7”, 5’ 6/7”?

Yeah I think he was like 5’ 6” and like 185 when won all those Mr Hong Kong bodybuilding titles I think like late 60s or early 70s maybe. But he was cut more back then than in Blood Sport. I think he was closer to 200 lbs in blood sport, so yeah thicker.

We have (probably) all felt invincible, at different points of our lives, but life is extremely fragile, and can end in a heartbeat. My life could have ended MANY times that I know of ..... And there were probably a Lot more times that I wasn't aware of....

Yeah .... But then they turn you in to credit reporting agencies (even though they shouldn't). What a hassle.

Reminds me of my brother-in-law that has diabetes and has gained enough weight that he had to go for a mammogram, telling me that I shouldn’t eat carbs, chicken, or red meat. Fish and veg only. And now for some reason, my minds eye is seeing Wilford Brimley in a hospital gown getting his tah-tahs slammed between the glass

last night at the baseball game I bought peanuts from the vendor walking the seats, he hands me the credit card machine, and the tip options are 15%, 20%, 25%. I hit the 15% and somehow felt embarrased because it was the far left option and of course I received a glare for it too lol I mean **** dude, keep your peanuts.

Went to a local restaurant that does 50/50 take out and eat in to pick up some food. The Gen Z worker asked my name, turned 180 to grab order and turned 180 around to hand to me, ABSOLUTELY ZERO MILEAGE IN STEPS. Flips the touch screen around for the “tip screen” after swiping card. No tip applied on my end. If he brought it curbside pickup that is different, He “huffed” at me for the zero tip. Typical broccoli head!!!

COVID really skewed people’s perceptions. Nobody was making any money in many instances, servers couldn’t work, all the restaurants that tried to stay open were carry out - so many people started tipping for pickup as a way to support through the BS shutdowns.
But the concept of getting paid a non-server minimum wage to box up food, then getting tipped from me for the work you were just compensated fairly for, when businesses aren’t shut down and you have other employment options is crazy. Like we all didn’t work minimum wage jobs when we were in highschool and college?? It’s just a right of passage for most.

yeah I think it has the potential to take a positive trend (tipping for good service, tipping in advance to assure good service, tipping because you simply like the person) and turn it into a stingy negative trend where suddenly society stops tipping altogether. When my wife and I travel internationally I find we are often well received because we bring normal U.S. tipping culture with us and I have come to learn that many countries do NOT tip the way we do in the States, so especially in say Mexico, Americans are fondly received because of this (despite what media will tell you). Financial generosity is much appreciated, and is now being abused in the States.

I tip the same services now i did 30 years ago. I also tip well for good service. But I'm not tipping you to pour my coffee or scoop my ice cream. Sorry... not sorry

One thing that has made this so bad is that the credit card and other payment processors charge 3-5 cents for every dollar that goes across their network and they are actually the ones who keep increasing the tip levels on payment options. If they can get you to spend another $20 they stand to make an extra $.60-1.00 off of just getting you to add that tip. Multiply that by millions of transactions a day and you can see how this adds up quickly. Add to that the people working see this tip offered up and think they are now entitled to it, and the rest of us feel like we are somehow lacking or are rude if we don't tip. I did it for a short minute but now, if you are not a server of some sort my only tip for you is get a better job if you want to make more money.
I literally left food at a spot I went to pick up from because the to go order had an 18% gratuity added to it. I asked what it was there for on a to go order and they said it was the new policy. I said I am not paying that, and they said I had to, so I told them they can just keep it and walked out.
The whole tip your cleaning lady, trash man, mail man, mechanic, landscaper any of that is just ridiculous. Charge what you expect to get paid and don't expect anything else from me.

When I was down in Peoria a year or two ago at the M's spring training stadium the girl told me "don't hit the tip button!" I was like really? why? (not that I wanted to for a hotdog stand) "we don't get tips, it all goes to the corporation anyways!"
yeah I agree. the only exception is during the holidays my wife has developed this habbit of putting out a snack basket with sodas and treats for the delivery people and last year when we needed to cull some of our older chickens I gave 3 to a landscaper who had helped us with some big chores and told him he's welcome to throw them in the BBQ or keep them for layers lol. I'm pretty sure they got cooked up that night.

She is nice, those delivery guys are paid decently for the job they do. I also think there is a difference in sometimes tipping someone who you have developed a relationship with.

We have one waiter that I give 25%, he has been our waiter for like 20+ years now. I tip him extra because he takes care of us extra and is now a friend. I even have his phone number. LOL
