As many of you have heard, a few days ago we lost Mr. Chuck Norris - an international martial arts icon and film star who came up during the hard-fighting “Blood and Guts” era of American Karate in the 1960s.

Chuck was a contemporary and close personal friend of our Bushidokan® System founder, Sensei Jim Harrison. Sensei Harrison often spoke of him not only as a formidable and highly skilled martial artist, but as one of the kindest, most loyal, and genuinely caring individuals he had ever known. Chuck was a true gentleman and an outstanding representative of the martial arts community on both the national and international stage.

As he transitioned into his film career in the late 1970s and early 1980s, Kenukan Academy founder, Sensei Bob Boggs, served as his local contact in the Kansas City area, helping to promote his movies.

In 2001, Chuck Norris and Bob Wall co-founded the America in Defense (AID) program in response to the tragic events of 9/11. The program provided self-defense training to American Airlines flight crews across the country. Kenukan Academy’s Chief Instructor, Sensei Travis Boggs, was personally selected by Mr. Norris and Mr. Wall to travel to California and participate in the first graduating class of AID instructors. Notably, AID played a role in preparing the flight crew that successfully stopped Richard Reid, the “Shoe Bomber.”

Kenukan Academy extends its deepest condolences to the Norris family. His wife, Gena, has been a tremendous source of strength over the years, and she will remain in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time 🙏

We are truly blessed to have had Chuck in our lives. Thank you for everything you did for us!
