A message from the official UFAF - United Fighting Arts Federation page:

“Today, we are beyond words.

It is with the deepest sorrow that we reflect on the life and legacy of our beloved Founder, Grand Master Chuck Norris.

A man who was larger than life, yet humble in spirit... A warrior, a leader, a teacher... and an inspiration to millions around the world.

Through his vision, he didn't just build an organization-he built a family… A legacy rooted in discipline, integrity, faith, and the relentless pursuit of excellence.

Every student, every instructor, every school carries a piece of his spirit forward.

While our hearts are heavy, we are forever grateful for the impact he made on our lives and on generations to come.

His legacy will live on... on every mat, in every class, and in every life changed through his teachings.

Rest in honor, Grand Master.
You will never be forgotten.”

It is with heavy hearts that our family shares the sudden passing of our beloved Chuck Norris yesterday morning. While we would like to keep the circumstances private, please know that he was surrounded by his family and was at peace.

To the world, he was a martial artist, actor, and a symbol of strength. To us, he was a devoted husband, a loving father and grandfather, an incredible brother, and the heart of our family.

He lived his life with faith, purpose, and an unwavering commitment to the people he loved. Through his work, discipline, and kindness, he inspired millions around the world and left a lasting impact on so many lives.

While our hearts are broken, we are deeply grateful for the life he lived and for the unforgettable moments we were blessed to share with him. The love and support he received from fans around the world meant so much to him, and our family is truly thankful for it. To him, you were not just fans, you were his friends.

We know many of you had heard about his recent hospitalization, and we are truly grateful for the prayers and support you sent his way.

As we grieve this loss, we kindly ask for privacy for our family during this time.

Thank you for loving him with us.

With love,
The Norris Family

Good luck, Krystal and Albert! Leave it all on the mat ‼️
