I used to watch Bill Wallace fights on Saturday afternoons when I was 12, 13, etc. Later, my first job was in a theatre, and we showed "A Force of One" with Norris and Wallace. You have to remember that Americans had never seen anything like them and folks were mesmerized. Truly the good old days.
I knew Bill and spared with him once when he used to work out with his friend Glenn Keeny, my Sensei, at Glenn's Komokai Academy of Judo and Karate in Anderson Indians. He rode with us once to a tournament in Aurora Illinois and refereed one of my matches. What a great guy!
@@jerryanderson3852 Superfoot went to school with my pastor and across town from my cousin who is a year younger. He wasn't even the best athlete at his high school. Denny Brady was an All American in basketball at Lafayette Jefferson. Wallace was on the wrestling team.
They sent me on a life long journey that yielded an Okinawan Karate Black Belt, a brief semi-pro Full-Contact Karate/Kick-Boxing career, a Brazilian JiuJitsu Black Belt, one MMA smoker, three Muay Thai smokers four broken noses, fractured ribs, broken jaw, broken metatarsal, and fifteen stitches. Thanks boys! I enjoyed every minute of it!
@@nelsonmcatee3721 not at his high maybe but he was the best in the pro kickboxing organization, hell with high school,the all American must have peek in high school where Bill went on a perfect pro career, guess he win that one
Met Wallace last year at a seminar. He is such a cool person. Very down to earth and great sense of humor. A true gem of martial arts knowledge for sure!
@@RansomeDavis Why you laugh ? Bill Wallace can be seen in full contact fighting. Is it because it takes some attention away from your idol who cannot be seen in any full contact fights ?
@@stevo62ful The only competing chuck did was point stop karate. think of his movie sidekicks, he never competed in kickboxing. as you know Bill wallace certainly did, aswell with Joe lewis, those guys were kickboxers but chuck wasnt, this clip is only from a movie of chucks.
There are some golden legends in body building like Arnold Schwarzenegger, franco columbu and in martial arts Chuck Norris, benny's the jet, don Wilson, superfoot billwallace , Bruce lee , jet lee, jacky chan, cynthia rothock, jalal mrrhi, bolo yeung these are the golden era of body building and martial arts of 80s and 90s. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ love you and respect you from India Anirban Nandy.
I say this every time but I had the great pleasure and honour of training with Bill Wallace once, and got the times mixed up and arrived an hour early to see him in the tea area. We had a great conversation though I can't remember a word of it. He was great with the kids and his adults seminar was excellent and concise. I still use some of the exercises to this day.
@@Truth1000. Except Fuck is a grand fucking liar. Do a search for his half assed apology, concerning a Bruce Lee phone call and an apology letter that he thought would never see the light of day, written by the phony point Karate guy (Norris) himself.
I took Tae Kwon Do and Karate back in the 70's. Always wanted to be able to do the amazing stretches like Superfoot Bill Wallace, but my anatomy didn't seem to want to let me do that. Great watching these two warriors.
@@snapyourfingerssnapyournec6503 Norris peleó contra Wallace en una pelea privada, nunca dijeron quien ganó,no subestimes a Norris,el le ganó a los mejores de su época,otros si eran buenos actores y no competían porque su enfoque era pelea mortal bla bla!
Bill was a top sports fighter in both full contact and points, by the time full contact karate came along Norris had retired, I'm sure he would have great. Bill and Chuck had a private closed doors sparring match, neither of them will reveal what the outcome was, both true gentlemen.
Absolutely 💯 fastest kick ever recorded. Saw him win the World Karate Championship, at the Los Angeles Sports Arena in 1972. In what was fight of the night. Kicked his opponent over the top rope, and into the third row of the audience, with what looked like a combination side thrust, back kick. It was so fast, came up between opponents guard and clipped him on the chin. AWESOME

Even worse trying to get back in shape in your late 40's after not doing anything for over a decade. At least you've put in the time. But in less than 2 years--still fat--but my overall health has improved and T levels have risen some.
When I was 15 and 16 I had a sidekick like Bill Wallace...not anymore. I grew up watching these guys. I loved Chuck Norris, but Superfoot Wallace had the best kick!
@@ezrasaya He didnot? God! who dared ot post a youtube video affirming that He passed away not long ago? it was insane, if Chuck is still around I am happy but on the other hand I think whoever plays that sick joke is a very bad person! and thank you very much for your reply ok? have a great day
CHUCK NORRIS TURNED 83 ON MARCH 10 OF THIS YEAR AND IS STILL WORKING OUT, THOUGH AT A MUCH SLOWER PACE, OF COURSE. HE ACTUALLY HAS BEEN DEAD FOR 25 YEARS, BUT THE PROBLEM IS THAT DEATH IS TOO AFRAID TO TELL HIM...wouldn't you ?
1977 I began with Schotokan Karate.1982 Brownbelt.My first fight was in Sennestadt DM LK.this time was a hard way.Karate-Do is a hard way allways you go this way in live.Rudi 66 Germany 2m.Now I work in Psychatrie gütersloh and help weak people with psychisch problems,Alkoholik and drugs who become weak and most have fear in live

Bill SuperFoot Wallace and chuck Norris are real champions ! There is nothing fake about them! Wallace used his left leg because his other leg was a bumber from a bad injury!!
Ванн Дамм Чака отправил в накаут на спаринге, я слышал такое. Но они оба красавчики,кумиры детства! Крутой Уокер, правосудие по Техасски! Смотрел сериал с ним ,ещё Одинокий волк Маквейд, око за око.
I imagine if van damme (the super right foot) fight against bill wallace (the super left foot) on the movie or inside the ring I think it would be a great fight.
Love and respect em both. They could have learned a bit on proper hand positions while kicking from my instructor, Mr Michael L Branam, though. Leave themselves open to counters. That lead hand should be down, in a fist, protecting the groin from a counter kick. The rear hand should be up with the top of the fist as high as where the skull starts to curve in towards the top with the forearm and elbow tucked in covering the sternum and solar plexus.
Both of them had double hip replacement surgeries. Physical Therapists will tell you all the extreme hip stretching, high kicking and over rotation of hip joints is very bad for the hip joint, leading to alot of excess wear & tear resulting in hip replacement surgeries. Boxing is also very destructive to the rotator cuffs in the shoulders.
@@VazgenHakobyan stepping back leg is one way however, it doesn't actually mean a kick, it could be a punch as well. Also, 3 different kicks so good looking figuring which one. Trying to jam him you walk into a side kick, or a jab.
@@ezrasaya Dear friend, i also did karate. What i mean is that his movements and kicks are very one-sided. I never saw him doing mae-geri or knee-kicks. For example look how kyokushin guys are kicking almost from every stance and without that stepping back leg. Imagine him fighting in a full-contact karate match with one of Mas Oyama's strong students.
@@VazgenHakobyan he has sparring matches with kyokushin guys. See, he has his system so fine tuned for him he made ot work for me. Now, you may not can, i may not can... he did. Also, we are on outside and we can see better then someone right in front of you. You assume he will kick, he is probably baiting you... you start to counter or defend his movement and open up sonewhere else and either a punch or his leg is there. In all his fight, everyone knew he had only 3 kicks... he still came out on top. The reason... you never knew which kick was coming or when. He didnt use the mae geri as he used his side kick for that directional kick. His roundhouse was a jab.
@@ezrasaya I got your point of view Ezra. Anyway, it was a pleasure talking with martial arts enthusiast like me. We all grew up on Bruce Lee's, Chuck Norris, Van Damme, Jackie Chan & Seagal movies and because of their influence we went to train karate in 1990s in Armenia. But i have to say my friend that their era started to end when UFC came. As Bruce said mix martial arts is evolution of martial arts.
Bill Wallace was a full contact kickboxing champion, while Chuck only competed in non contact. However, Chuck may have won a real fight...but only due to his BJJ training.

@@tlouishail4141 whats your point?
One of the best things about the fighters back then is they were never afraid to fight each other and become the best of friends.🥊🥋🥊
Best comment I’ve ever seen in my life. I remember fighting and becoming best friends for life afterwards.
lololololololol
I got to lightly spar Bill 40 years ago. He was so fast. And such a nice man.
Met Wallace last year at a seminar. He is such a cool person. Very down to earth and great sense of humor. A true gem of martial arts knowledge for sure!
I met Wallace many years ago very standoffish. Not very cool, I detected no sense of humor. Age has apparently made him better
I attended 2 Bill Wallace seminars at Radford University in Radford Virginia back in 1992-93 He’s a very knowledgeable Martial Artist.
I thoroughly enjoyed watching this clip of 2 of the greatest martial arts legends training
Have you seen the latest tribute video i made for Bill
Respect. Thanks to both of these guys for their contributions
Totaly agree.
