Superfoot Bill Wallace. So, here is a guy with a career ending injury while in Judo. Seriously. He takes that, and works around it into a unique style and became one of the best full contact kickboxers in the world at the time. Just amazing.
Let's take this one step further, he hppoed into a Karate dojo and said" I can't use this leg, can you still train me?" his new found master said,"yes, lineup. Ok, 1000 kicks left leg...after the 1000 kicks he said 100 kicks right leg. then looks at Bill and says, Not You. You stay on left leg" Imagine that as your first class? If I had been thrown that in high school, I would have been like "Challenge Accepted", but I started Karate in College and would have been like..."If a man can't walk to class, he will drop out of engineering like everyone else, must leave training with you for now...hmm what else can I do...Video game club, that looks safe"
After I received my black belt I went to a tournament in Rockford Illinois where I met Bill Wallace and Joe Lewis and also Chuck Norris these three men inspired me to work harder to just try to be a better kicker oh I also got there autograph bad ass dudes I did come home with a bronze metal in sparring I will always cherish that time in my life
Thank you for bringing this video back 🙂. To this day (in 2020), this is still my favorite instructional video of Bill "Super Foot" Wallace. I hope this video is never removed again. This video is a great way to introduce Mr. Wallace to each new generation. This video would make a nice touch to his legacy.
Met and trained with him and his people at a few seminars over the years. He's an immensely talented and professional person! True Champion and warrior!
same here, thanks for posting this , it's good that you were able to preserve the quality of this video. the influence of Superfoot can be seen on my kicks
Mr Wallace is a true gentleman and a martial arts legend. A fantastic role model for our youth and a great ambassador for Martial Arts! He also happens to be a fantastic practitioner who has adapted his style to fit his body strengths and weaknesses. He has been doing this before Bruce Lee advised martial artists to adapt style to fit your individuality. I am 66yrs old and have been training since my mid-teens, Wing Chun, TKD and Shotokan but my personal secret for longevity, is that I went to India for a few years and studied Yoga. I do a 30min to 1 hr. yoga stretching, relaxation and breathing routine every morning, keeps me flexible and relaxed! From this comes speed and power!
Trained with him at a seminar in Thorne near Doncaster in England, kicked me in the face, brilliant !!!!! He was so bloody fast, his kicks were so fluid. And super powerful, power in kicks (and most strikes actually) comes from speed and if you don't think so 'throw' a bullet at someone see what damage it does. Really nice bloke too. If he came over to do another seminar i'd definitely go. .
Wallace has a degree in body mechanics/ kinetics which means he knows how the body works, muscles involved, etc.the fact that he is in great physical shape is a testament to his amazing ability.i read where he& Chuck Norris tied in 2nd place in a national poll of greatest karate fighters of all time.also, I thought it was so grand he, Howard Jackson, Don Wilson& the late Joe Lewis were on Walker Texas Ranger back in 2000, great tribute show for those guys!
Me and bill wallace is very alike we are both orthodox and we both kick with the left leg and this video will improve my left leg kicking ability even more! i love this man truly amazing
Back when I was a young man it always amused me to see the Bill Superfoot Wallace technique books in the local martial arts shop. Unless your name happens to be Bill Superfoot Wallace it is highly unlikely that you could ever learn to kick like him. Amazing MA icon he is.
I don't know how many people know this, but did you ever notice that Bill Wallace was one of the greatest kickboxers of all time, and only ever used one leg. He had a bad knee in the other, so he just used that for his base. On another note, I wish all of my opponents had a fighting stance like his assistant. Would make my life a hell of alot easier :)
I saw you fight in 1975 I trained hard around the world you are the man vet 100 knockouts later you still the man than la for teaching me I have a bad knee I trained to fight like you
When I played Tkd And I was Very Good at it(About 10 Years Ago)I saw A VHS in the old market which nobody even goes To it.I bought that Video and It was THe same Video Which I looking to it Now.THey Were great and When ever I see it I really enjoy From Bill.Because His Kicks are something For than full contact.it seems that He had played ttd for several years(actually I dont Know).But you can test Imagine him without the gloves and then look at the Kicks. Thank you For these vidoes.thank you
En el año 1998 conoci al sr Wallace en el Torneo The Batle of the Atlanta . Un maestro hasta el dia de hoy con casi 49 años usos sus tecnica que nos dio a Varios Practicantes
I had the great honour to spend some training lessons with him. At this time he must have been around 55 years old, but his talent is outstanding. Even our best kumite trainer could not block his attacks even though Bill told him where he would punch him :-) amazing
My friend's kicks are somewhat similar, although he has a unique technique for the roundhouse kick, where he sort of throws his leg up at a painfully slow speed, honestly slower than a slow motion video, and then he sort of wildly grasps for anything to hold on to, in order to steady himself, like a door handle, the refrigerator, another person, his dog, etc., then he almost always falls over.
How do you train to get that speed in your kicks ? im 35 and just got back into martial arts and my techniques are coming together good but i cant seem to speed my kicks up , any help would be greatly appreciated
15:47 Nice protection for a punch.....perfect view of the balls.... great target for a low punch dropping down or a round kick...good by balls...hello knock down...please to meet you pain..."Which way did my balls fly ?" ..."Hi emerge doctor I'm Bill Balless and I have crushed balls"...did you know where my left ball went ??...
He still is alive.dont know how much his lessons are, probably have to go through a mess of red tape, security measures,& get documentation from the Pentagon to train with him.oh,& it helps to maybe to have an income in the tens of thousands, as I'm sure his lessons aren't cheap.
Tend to almost agree (J Farrow). But only with the caveat that those blokes..I was around then- competing- that they would train as necessary to meet present MMA components of skill. I have no doubt all those you mentioned would be very successful in MMA as they were champions then and very determined fighters. Id also add that of those mentioned, Id pick 2 off the bat that given their skills then , say by 1975, would give any top fighter at present a big handful of worry now, and probably beat most of them also...because both Joe Lewis and Wallace were also very good grapplers, Lewis being *very strong* in addition. Urquidez also would have beat many MMA fighters today just with striking skills, in my opinion, and Id be tempted to add a few more from the 'golden age' that had tremendous striking skills and timing along with Urquidez in that respect, like Jeff Smith, Havanas, Howard Jackson, McCallum. In summary, champions then would probably be champions now, and likewise very good fighters now would probably also do well if they time travelled to the past..just my considered opinion of course.
his hip replacement were from the fact that he tried to take his flexiblity past just the splits on the floor...or an oversplit, he once said to me that he wised he had never tried so hard to get that overspilt so quickly...i`ve trained and fought for almost 20yrs and i`ve never felt anything that comes close to the amount of power this man has put into those 3 kicks. Plus he has a Master`s Degree in Human Body Movement or Kinesiology. Plus think of all those Fights he fought over 22 matches ;)
Dont compare people. This is better or that is better, relax, the individual is more important than any style, take what you like and learn from everybody. Dont be close minded to anything especially martial arts, I believe almost everyone has something to offer.
I hope there are UFC/MMA fans that will see this. Pay attention little boys, this is what a true Martial Artist looks like. A man who can execute a kick (ANY KICK) with proper form, technique, and balance. Not to mention ultimate flexibility. Unlike all the average, un-talented/un-skilled bums who are known as "Great fighters" and/or "Great Martial Artists" in the UFC and other MMA competitions. lol smh Please.
Well, just because someone is not into Martial Arts does not mean that they are not great fighters. If you think about it, the Martial Arts came from real fighting. Over the many years, allot f it has been watered down and made to be more of a show that a real "Martial Art". I do not look down upon anyone who has the guts to step into the octagon or ring. I was a bar room brawler before I was a martial artist and I can tell you that allot of "martial arts" would never work in a real fight. Thanks.
carlos Vargas Carlos Vergas ... Shut your mouth. the key word is fighters. Most flexible martial arts are what they are... Martial artists.. Doesn't mean they are fighters. not everyone has the heart to step inside the cage and fight during stressed conditions... Include yourself in that category.
Jason Rutibager Also some of us more traditional style practitioners simply want nothing to do with cage/mma anything. We like to keep it old school, and belts give a sense of achievement, which is good for misguided teens/adults. MMA more just teaches you how to want to tear someones head off, we're not into that. In Taekwondo we train for peace and justice, among other things, not bloodsport.
bro.. you're years late i be been on bill wallace. i love this though. this one is new to me but ive been watching him for a while... and don't think a fan need to watch this....
If you are executing mawashi geri (round house kick) the instep or the ball of the foot is used. If you are executing aura-mawashi geri (reverse round house or hook kick) the heel should be used. OSU
Combat man thanks for the heads up I guess that I got fooled again....Although I still think that Bruce Lee is unbeatable....Take a look at Jerry Trimble..quite impressive fighter.
True Story: Wallace allowed me to be in his kicking demonstration seminar in 1991. I held a match in my teeth and Wallace was suppose to strike the match with a roundhouse. He made an audible and decided to ax kick the match, but kicked so high and so fast the friction in the air created gasoline. Unseen to the human eye, his kick forced my mouth open, made me ingest a pint of gasoline, struck the match, flicked it into my mouth, thus setting my insides on fire. Other than that, “Superfoot” is a very nice guy.

You will not find a more perfect kick than from this man; controlled, powerful and good for your body
Bruce lee
@@el29 smh who has Bruce lee fought he’s the most overated actor of all time the only actor that people believe can great mike Tyson
But it's not good for the other guy's body
Super detailed kick explanation for me to practise from Bill ! Thanks him a lot!
@samfisherrules Yep same here and it's still loved today. Bill was nice enough to allow me to post his videos here. He is the best...
I would be honored to contact him. Is there an email or other ways I can contact him??
Zeek Banistor no he never answered
Bill Wallace & Bruce Lee videos r my favorite. Thank you!!!!

He knows his stuff. And he is a wonderful human being. All martial artist should try and be like Bill Wallace in and out of the ring.
Mr Wallace is a true gentleman and a martial arts legend. A fantastic role model for our youth and a great ambassador for Martial Arts!

Chuck Norris, Mike stone, bill Wallace are legends
Yes, but don't forget Joe the Golden Boy Lewis, who initiated full contact in the U.S in 1970& so many other accomplishments.
This is just so freaking cool ...thanks for making it available
Thanks so much for the video, so much to learn from the old champions :)
My life flashed before my eyes while seen him kicking, and I wasn't even there!
Great teaching.good useful kicks❤
Thanks for posting great videos!
This is pure gold. Bill's kicks are just outstanding

Espectacular gran Maestro
Music in the beginning....tangerine dream exit, still one of my most favorite albums.
Bill is one of the best ever
Great stuff 👍
Can you imagine taking a shot to the head from one of his kicks back in his prime? Unbelievable!
I wouldn't want one today.

Fenomenal Teaching ability....
LEGEND!!!!!!
Happy birthday mr Wallace. Buon compleanno 🎂
I'm training karate too this man is a true karate master fighter kickboxer.
That's a snappy gi!
Still watching this in 2018.
He can so precisely place that foot, it's like he could comb the guy's hair and brush his teeth with it.
Amazing
God bless you Bill Wallace. Anyone knows how I can contact him??
he's such a legend
I've only ever done wrestling and kung-fu, and this guy is almost indescribably bad-ass; right on, Mr. Wallace
one of the best kicker in the world
I think he was seven time world champ. Gee....I wonder why...LOL...just great!
Is there a video specifically on the bladed stance?
Wow what a guy... ps I liked his fight in '76 where he knocked his opponent out 2x. DAMN! It's here on youtube.
I had the great honour to spend some training lessons with him. At this time he must have been around 55 years old, but his talent is outstanding. Even our best kumite trainer could not block his attacks even though Bill told him where he would punch him :-) amazing
I was wondering how old he was in this video. You think he's around 55 years old? That makes his kick demonstrations even more amazing. Blazing speed.
No, I meant he was around 55 when I had my training with him. This is about 15 years ago
@@GlennMakl I think his kicks were measured at one point at like 60 mph. I would love to see a comparison of him and Van damme.
A fieldmarshall (or General of the Army) of kicking...sehr gut und richtig!
Impressive
pretty fast foot there william
The hook kick is my holy grail of knock outs
great. he is a real master unlike some cocky guys.
Super joe you the best in the world I want to shake your hand before I die
I want to support Mr. Wallace where can get these videos?
My friend's kicks are somewhat similar, although he has a unique technique for the roundhouse kick, where he sort of throws his leg up at a painfully slow speed, honestly slower than a slow motion video, and then he sort of wildly grasps for anything to hold on to, in order to steady himself, like a door handle, the refrigerator, another person, his dog, etc., then he almost always falls over.

Bill was one of the best kickers of his time I wish I could of train with him when he was living.
He's still living! Jesse Enkamp (Karate Nerd) has spent some time with him this year doing seminars etc.
He still is alive.dont know how much his lessons are, probably have to go through a mess of red tape, security measures,& get documentation from the Pentagon to train with him.oh,& it helps to maybe to have an income in the tens of thousands, as I'm sure his lessons aren't cheap.

When doing a round house or hook kick, what part of the foot are you hitting the target with to be most effective?
If you are executing mawashi geri (round house kick) the instep or the ball of the foot is used. If you are executing aura-mawashi geri (reverse round house or hook kick) the heel should be used. OSU

23:30 bill shows the hook kick faint, to round house kick, it's so fast you can barely even see the faint, nice.
