Chuck Norris Once Said Something About Bruce Lee That Every Fan Needs to Hear

Chuck Norris spent decades being asked about Bruce Lee, and he never seemed to tire of it because the friendship, by his own account, was one of the most meaningful of his life.

The two met in 1968 at a karate tournament in New York where Norris was competing. Lee approached him afterward and asked if he'd be willing to train with him. What followed was a years-long friendship built on mutual respect between two men who each recognized something extraordinary in the other. Lee was a master of speed and philosophy.
