When I saw the movie “ A Force of One “ with Chuck Norris I was so blown away by Superfoot’s kicks that I determined to become a taekwondo black belt. My instructor was a world champion in ITF taekwondo in 1989 and 1992. He got to spar with Mr. Wallace somewhere around that time with a large group of other guys and said he was the only one that did not get kicked in the face. I have Bill Wallace to thank for the fact that I was in the best shape of my life in my 40s because I was so inspired by what he was able to do. He made a pretty good bad guy in the movies too! Mr. Wallace sir I shall always be in awe.
@@kbanghart it doesn't happen overnight. It took a full year and half for me. However, after learning it I am still able to do it just by watching others after taking decades off and multiple injuries since.
I am so happy for you. Being proud of your accomplishments is your duty to yourself and those that inspired you. I suppose we are all thankful for someone or something in our lives but unlike you may never stop to thank or acknowledge the specific issue that made the spark turn to fire. God Bless You my friend!
I first saw Bill commentate on the very 1st UFC and shamefully didn't know who he was until now. What a fighter! That left foot and his awesome boxing skills was way ahead of everyone
The commentary was awful in the first couple of UFC events. I felt bad watching him mess up because I knew what a stud he was as a fighter and have a lot of respect for him.
His left leg is so legendary that people forget that his left hand is what he uses to knock people out. They think they're safe once they're in punching range, but he actually wants them in punch range. He can still kick them there, if he doesn't find an opening for that left hook.
All of the people in these videos were astonishing fighters in their own right. Understand that these were the first years of full contact karate and most karate guys were still learning the full contact game. Wallace, however, was extremely tough along with being extremely skilled. On the other hand, Ray McCallum was the most phenomenal fighter I've ever seen. He's the young bearded guy in red. Yeah, Wallace beat him, but just barely. Here's a little thing for you ... Wallace started off in judo and hurt his right leg; thus, only kicking with his left. These are the guys who actually brought karate to America and the American psyche along with many not-so-famous instructors. Some have already passed. All are getting old. Remember all of them with gratitude. If you're a martial artist, they passed the gift to you. Honor it.
Back when I used to take Karate, I was taught by one of his students. I even got a couple lessons with him! It's just really cool and I wish I kept taking lessons...
The key to Wallace wasn't just how fast he could kick, but that he was surgical and could deliver that kick pinpoint at multiple last second angle changes to get around a guard. He was able to combo so effectively.
Bill Superfoot Wallace was never BS , he was the real thing! Wallace fought with his left leg only being his right leg was badly injured! His hands were very fast . He proved himself being he won 3 world titles! He is of the top ever and showed greatness in FuLL contact karate! He had good humor when joking. Wallace Superfoot a real AMERICAN! Good video about him! Enjoyed!
Those were the days my friends we thought they would never end....Miss my childhood in the early 70's when Bruce Lee even after his death was still living among the existing legends then followed by the era of Joe Lewes, Super foot Wallace in kick boxing. The irony of it Muay Thai was way ahead of American kick boxing but we never heard about it until the early 80's.
I had the privlege of attending two Bill Wallace seminars in the UK many years ago. He was so funny and atheletic. I even had a brief spar with him when I dared to ask a question. His basic philosophy of "controlling" your opponent proved so effective when he rattled my ears with his foot!!
That must of been incredible glad you had the one chance once in a lifetime Bill is still just as deadly today at 73 as he ever has i remember Don the dragon Wilson even saying he had only took a kick to the face like twice out of his whole career not when he got in the ring with Bill he said he hit with that left leg came up so fast hit him 3 to 4 times in one match.
He will always be remembered! I trained Yoshukai Karate when I was a teenager, fought in tournaments (my dojo fights/sparring were the worst) and wished I had a Sensei like Bill "Superfoot" Wallace. I actually used his moves, and other karate fighters, to win tournaments.
I actually had no idea who Bill Wallace was before watching A FORCE OF ONE starring Chuck Norris. I just remember saying," Damn that's a big ass man!. He's skilled and fast?! Whoa!" Then I started hearing more about him after he had long retired. His name of Superfoot is well deserved. An amazing Man.
I met Mr. Wallace back in 90's in Indianapolis, Indiana he is a very funny and amazing person. I will never forget him saying "to kick like this you need grease and that's why I eat ice cream ".
I was privileged to meet Bill Wallace at Karate College in Virginia back in the '90's. He was so much fun and still incredibly limber and flexible. He could literally comb your hair with his foot! We all got to spar with him, though he certainly just toyed with us. Great honor!
Always liked Bill Met him as teenager back in the day, and was privileged to attend a relatively private seminar in the 80's after my black belt. Nice guy, outstanding instructor, great sense of humor.
Met him at a karate tournament years ago. We were sitting and yacking. In the middle of it he said we have not met yet. I told him my name and that I knew his. He asked why I did not say anything. I told him I was enjoying myself and did not want to possibly embarrass him. We chatted for a good 90 minutes. Great guy.
I had the honor of meeting Mr Wallace when he gave a stretching workshop at my dojo. A really nice guy. Extremely flexible. What is all the more remarkable, to me, is that he is so very proficient in kicking despite having severely injured his right knee years ago in judo. As he explained it, his right leg is basically useless except for supporting his weight.
Great video. I remember all these guys from when I was fighting, though I freely admit they were several steps beyond me. Great commentary from this group too. Knowledgeable karate men...
jean eves terroir was also a very bad man skinny guy not built like a fighter but a major ass kicker one punch one kick some of the best to ever fight got to train with some of these greats early 80s south Florida.
You are wrong about Chuck Norris man he never fought full contact ever quit putting him in the same group with these men he's not Chuck Norris fought point karate that's it
@@gregalcorn-pu5ye He's still a legend in the sport of Karate as it developed in the West. Chuck and Joe had a legendary rivalry in points karate, it was the biggest early story in the martial arts press in the US. It was early points karate competition in the US which then enabled full contact to become a thing. In points karate Chuck was right up there with these other guys and without any doubt would have been competitive in full contact - do you really think Bill and Lewis and these other guys who were great in points fighting and then transferred to full contact once it became a thing, are so unlike Chuck who was their level in points but decided to focus on his schools and hollywood? Points karate isn't some fantasy fight, if you're a world champ in points karate (like Norris) you would at least be competitive in full contact at high levels at a minimum. You don't know much about the early history of how Karate grew in popularity in the west and American tournaments specifically if you think the only reason Chuck is in these films is because he was an actor later.
@@poocrayon4588Chuck Norris is a coward he's afraid to get hit he admitted himself that he has never been in a real fight and then his entire life he's afraid he's a coward he has never put his skills to use in a practical way not one time in his life all he can do is acting movies people talk about Bruce Lee being an actor he was a hell of a lot more than an actor he was a street fighter long before he ever became a martial artist or an actor Chuck Norris has been in more movies and television shows that Bruce Lee so who is the actor
I was lucky enough to have seen him fight for the first World Full Contact Karate Championship at the Los Angeles Sports Arena in the early 70’s. I was about ten years old and was thrilled to be there in person. Funny, I still feel thrilled about that evening, fifty-plus years later. Where do the years go?
At 1:37, I remember watching that great fight on television. it was a close fight up to that moment when Wallace connected with that right hand. Bill Wallace was the greatest; thanks for sharing.
When I was a kid Glen Keeney opened Komakai Academy in my home town of Anderson IN. Bill Wallace, Glen Keeney, Jerry Davenport and Jerry Brown all worked out and were regulars there. They would let us kids in to watch the practices and spar matches. Occasionally we could go on the mat and pretend to spar. It was a great time and I'll always remember it.
Little known fact: during his prime competition years he had a second nickname: The Junk Food Man. His close friends called him that because he loved to gush down junk food from almost every restaurant franchise that existed back in the day.
Ive heard he ate burgers all the time, but only ate one half the bread bun. (Plus ice cream and coke). He ate burgers right back in his point fighting days - maybe cos he drove so much hitting *alot* of tournaments he got used to calling in at diners along the way? Then became a tradition with him.
Wallace's kicks are fascinating, he throws a kick that appears to be a hook kick, nearly going over the opponent's defenses and morphs into a straight side kick striking the head...or maybe i'm hallucinating and seeing it wrong, lol
Legends are simplified truths, Mr. Bill Wallace was not only an excellent kicker mostly with his left foot, but an arduous boxer if necessary. Paul, 68, retired instructor of Karate.
No doubt from this video Bill SuperFoot Wallace proved he was a great champion! Notice he had Limitations, he would kick with his LEFT leg only because he injured his right leg in judo... Wallace still had power in his hands to execute KOS... Very good video on Wallace! Enjoyed!!! 🔋✅✅🔋
Not only is Bill the most amazing incredible kicker in the world, he is an inspiration, a mentor. Humble, kind, sharing, and someone to look up to! 100% a 1st Class Act! God broke the mold after him!
Remarkable natural kicker, however, what many do not comprehend is that the key to Wallace's success was his punching and ability to combine with excellent kicks. Sounds simplistic to say, but in reality its not, because relatively few do both well enough. Wallis was physically tough and determined, and had all-round good technique and it showed. The best way to be a knockout kicker is to be an excellent puncher and defensive mover of your head. My first ITF Taekwondo instructor told me that many years ago. If you can combine quality punching with good kicks, you can get the high knockouts. Having been in Taekwondo, Mauy Thai and K1 circles, I have seen a lot from all styles and backgrounds and MMA is the format I support today. But for traditional stand up, one on one, Wallace was great to watch in his relatively short career. Lots of others I can think of over the years, but Wallace was one of the trail blazers and early stars. Anybody remember those hard Jhoon Rhee gloves? they really hurt lol
I also had the privilege of training with Bill many years ago at a seminar. Great guy to train with. As much as he is known for his kicks, he can punch just as well!
I remember reading about his kicking style that stuck with me - he made sure when he cocked his leg it looked the same for his roundhouse, side kick and hook - so you never knew which one was coming
Only a handful of legends retire undefeated and I watched superfoot fight on CBS wide world of sports. Later My 2 boys fought in the U.S. OPEN International championship in Orlando Florida and my 2 boys got private lessons from super foot Wallace and Chuck Norris 2 of the classiest guys Ive ever met. My boys were too young to know Superfoot but knew chuck of course thanks to his movies and I was the one who was awestruck not my boys. LOL
I've been rewatching old martial arts movies, and Bill Wallace played awesome villains. He brings the bad for his bay guy characters, yet he's the coolest, most charismatic dude when you see him giving an interview or appearing at a demonstration.
Bill attended as a guest instructor at my school twice. They were really tough lessons, focused on leg flexibility and strength, as you'd expect. He made us hold a roundhouse kick out for three minutes on each side. Try it and see whether your foot ends up six inches off the floor. Bill maintained it at head level. Ross Scott have an instruction as well, but he couldn't keep himself from saying fuck all the time. "You can't do anything off-balance. You can't fuck off-balance. Uh, sorry for the swearing."
I made a lot of videos, but I have no desire to upload it to TH-cam, because I very often see my videos on Facebook with millions of views, but none of them indicate where they got this video
In the beginning they showed Brad Hefton. He was the heavy weight champion in kickboxing back in the 80’s and my instructor. Great talent and so much heart for a sport that paid so little and yet paved the way for MMA.
He was and still is a nice guy. But long, long ago I participated in open karate tournaments along side Wallace and the only thing we knew for sure was that he would always win first place without question. He would though take time and show you techniques and philosophies that made the trip worthwhile.
When I saw the movie “ A Force of One “ with Chuck Norris I was so blown away by Superfoot’s kicks that I determined to become a taekwondo black belt. My instructor was a world champion in ITF taekwondo in 1989 and 1992.

Still alive due to his flexibility and fitness knowledge
With a total hip replacement . The man is a legend.
Met him a while back
NO HES A CREEP

true bro
It's early 70's.
More like 70's

Yeah he’s got good hands

0:18 it was poetry...
you fucking right.
One of his friends was a boxer who trained him. When he first started boxing, it was painful, but after a while, he got calloused to the pain.
The super Foot brings home the bacon, but that left Hand delivers the goods!
I met him twice in person when I was a teenager and each time he was totally fantastic. He’s a wonderful human being
Did he ever fight Bruce Lee

How many guys got distracted by the legend and reality of that famous left leg and discovered too late that Bill Wallace punched hard and in combos?
What a special era. We’ve lost something, man.
The man himself! That left foot was clocked at over 60 miles an hour back in the day. Mad respect. 🥋🙏🏾😎🤙🏾
Took a pic with him at a Memphis tournament in the mid 80s. Still have pic, he's pulling the hair on my chest. Always light hearted

A Legend like no other. 👊🏽🔥
What's a unbelievable era for full contact karate 4 of the best of all time standing together with Chuck Norris.
One of my favorite fighters of all time! 😃👍
The world may never see a kicker so stunning as Bill The Superfoot Wallace.
He was good for his time, but I don't know if he was as good as some of the later guys like Andy Hug and Cro cop
Thanks brother this really brings good feelings back. Love the 80s

Amazing how he turns a hook kick into a powerful side kick to the face.
His punches were top tier too. He used them to set up his kicks soooooooo well
I met Mr. Wallace back in 90's in Indianapolis, Indiana he is a very funny and amazing person. I will never forget him saying "to kick like this you need grease and that's why I eat ice cream ".
WOULD HAVE LOVED TO SEE BILL COMPETE TODAY. THESE GUYS WERE TRULY SKILLED MARTIAL ARTISTS!🥋🥋🥋🥊🥊🥊

Lyoto Machida would be best comparison.

Me too lol
Hell yea. Michael Jai White brought me to Benny "The Jet" Urquidez last year, lol.
Me too
Bill Wallace, Joe Lewis and Chuck Norris were the best. The old PKA was really fun to watch when I first got cable TV in early 80's..
Chuck Norris never fought PKA he was never a full contact fighter you guys need to get your facts straight
I've been rewatching old martial arts movies, and Bill Wallace played awesome villains. He brings the bad for his bay guy characters, yet he's the coolest, most charismatic dude when you see him giving an interview or appearing at a demonstration.
I had No idea that Mr Wallace was SO Powerful
Bill attended as a guest instructor at my school twice. They were really tough lessons, focused on leg flexibility and strength, as you'd expect. He made us hold a roundhouse kick out for three minutes on each side. Try it and see whether your foot ends up six inches off the floor. Bill maintained it at head level.
Ross Scott have an instruction as well, but he couldn't keep himself from saying fuck all the time. "You can't do anything off-balance. You can't fuck off-balance. Uh, sorry for the swearing."
Great! A new video for week please
I made a lot of videos, but I have no desire to upload it to TH-cam, because I very often see my videos on Facebook with millions of views, but none of them indicate where they got this video
@@oldschoolfighter such a pity... these highlights are dope
this reminds me of my teenage days training full contact in 2005 2006
The legend of karate full contact! Oss
In the beginning they showed Brad Hefton. He was the heavy weight champion in kickboxing back in the 80’s and my instructor. Great talent and so much heart for a sport that paid so little and yet paved the way for MMA.
“Bad” Brad Hefton. I believe he was in one of Don Wilson’s movies.
He was and still is a nice guy. But long, long ago I participated in open karate tournaments along side Wallace and the only thing we knew for sure was that he would always win first place without question. He would though take time and show you techniques and philosophies that made the trip worthwhile.
This man is iconic, like myself..... Tune in
