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.

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.

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.

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 watching him when I was a kid. Something like on Wide World of Sports.

My introduction to Karate was Superfoot's book called Karate: Basic Concepts and Skills.

I met Bill Wallace a couple of times when i was a kid training at Benny's gym. I couldn't have met a nicer guy.
