Chuck Norris turned 84 on March 10th, and to celebrate, he posted a video of him boxing on Instagram. His followers could not get over the energy he exuded in the clip despite his age. “Feeling good and staying active!” he captioned the post. “Thank you all for the wonderful birthday wishes. God Bless.”
In the snap, he joked about feeling 48, which is not far-fetched as he effortlessly displayed as much youthfulness as his prime.

Some followers got humorous with exaggeration to express Chuck’s greatness in the martial arts industry. “Chuck Norris threw a grenade into a bunch of enemies, he killed 86 guys with it. Then it exploded,” someone joked. “He wasn’t punching the punching bag, the punching bag was diving head first in his fist cause it knew better!” another quipped, continuing the fun.
Chuck began his martial arts career after serving in the United States Air Force and while waiting to be a police officer in Torrance, California. After a few decades of dedication and hard work, Chuck earned multiple black belts in Tang Soo Do, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, and judo and found his passion in Chun Kuk Do.
The famous fighter is known for his role as the late Bruce Lee’s nemesis in the famous 1972 film Way of the Dragon. He also appeared in other productions like the Missing In Action series and ‘90s hits like Delta Force 2, The Hitman, Sidekicks, Hellbound, Top Dog, and Forest Warrior. Despite his age, Chuck is still working as he teaches his craft and recently teased an upcoming movie titled Agent Recon via social media.
