    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.

    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.

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.

    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!

    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 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

    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."

    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.
