The style was formally founded in 1990 as Chun Kuk Do by Norris, and was originally based on Norris's Tang Soo Do training in Korea while he was in the military.

During his competitive fighting career, Norris began to evolve the style to make it more effective and well-rounded by studying other systems such as [[Shōtōkan]], [[Gōjū-ryū]], [[Shitō-ryū]], [[Enshin kaikan]], [[Kyokushin]], [[Judo]], [[Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu]], [[Arnis]], [[Taekwondo]], [[Tang Soo Do]], [[Hapkido]] and [[American Kenpo]]. Chun Kuk Do now emphasizes self defense, competition, weapons, grappling, and fitness, among other things.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.ufaf.org/about_chunkukdo.htm |title=About the Chuck Norris System |publisher=[[United Fighting Arts Federation]] |access-date=March 11, 2018 |archive-date=June 17, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180617115658/https://www.ufaf.org/about_chunkukdo.htm |url-status=live }}</ref> Each summer the [[United Fighting Arts Federation]] (UFAF) holds a training conference and the Chun Kuk Do world championship tournament in Las Vegas, Nevada.<ref>Jeffrey, Douglas.
