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.

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

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!

Thank you for posting, and thank you to Bill for his generosity in allowing it. Really incredible.

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.

You will not find a more perfect kick than from this man; controlled, powerful and good for your body

@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...

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!

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.

Super detailed kick explanation for me to practise from Bill ! Thanks him a lot!

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. .

Chuck Norris, Mike stone, bill Wallace are legends

I met Bill Wallace twice he was fantastic. His speed and accuracy is and was amazing and he’s a wonderful person

Bill Wallace & Bruce Lee videos r my favorite. Thank you!!!!

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

My life flashed before my eyes while seen him kicking, and I wasn't even there!

Bill Wallace, I met him twice He was totally awesome 😃😄😊

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 :)

Super. Bill. La. jambe. la. Plus rapide. du. monde grâce. a. toi. je. suis. aujourd''huit. toujours. motivez. Pour. M' entraîner. a. 62. ans merci

I'm training karate too this man is a true karate master fighter kickboxer.

This is just so freaking cool ...thanks for making it available

This is pure gold. Bill's kicks are just outstanding

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.

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

Thanks so much for the video, so much to learn from the old champions :)

A true legend never lost a fight in his career take note people!!!!

Thanks for posting great videos!

Great video Much respect!

Music in the beginning....tangerine dream exit, still one of my most favorite albums.

Can you imagine taking a shot to the head from one of his kicks back in his prime? Unbelievable!

Your style is the best it worked for me over 100 knockouts later

Great teaching.good useful kicks❤

Thanks! A true master / legend.

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.

Only 3 kicks but great technique. Especially liking the 7 combos. Wow.

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 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

awesome technique!

Great stuff 👍

Espectacular gran Maestro

hi, my friend I like you video, thank you . god bless you.

Greatest fighter, greatest inspiration

Great stuff right there❤

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

Really good video to learn the technique

Awesome, bill is a legend!

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

Haven't seen Wallace work in quite some time, his technique is so strong.

I love Bill Wallace. He is one of the coolest guys I ever encountered in my martial arts journeys. People may not realize he was the wrestling, Judo, boxing as well as Karate coach at Memphis State University. Believe me. His abilities are not limited to kicking. He competed in events where, grappling, throws and ground fighting were allowed. The only thing that is changed by mma is the unlimited time for ground fighting. Most tourneys that allowed scoring from the floor limited it from 5 to thirty seconds. So, when I fought Bill in an exhibition at the convention center in Nashville it was so much fun. You can read about the details in My Book Tang Soo Do: Self Defense Secret. But, I will share these tips: Circle to his left (blindside) Never stop moving your feet. The one moment when I stopped flatfooted was when "Superfoot" Hooked me between the eyes. I literally blinked and missed the whole kick. When my eyes opened all I saw was his kick bouncing off as my head was snapping back. But, the smartest thing I did was circle to his left, never stepping in front of his round kick. He can't chase you down with the hook kick moving backwards. But, with the roundhouse kick he can. I hung out with him for a week after the fight and helped out with several seminars before we drove to Memphis in a car Elvis had given him. He told me he had patterned his speed kicking style after another legend Mike Warren who he once defeated with an invisible kick to the head. Noone in the the building saw it except Mike Warren. The judges didn't react or see it until it was replayed on the new technology of the day called video.

here is the one of the legend

His kicks are incredible.

Fenomenal Teaching ability....

He can so precisely place that foot, it's like he could comb the guy's hair and brush his teeth with it.

I think he was seven time world champ. Gee....I wonder why...LOL...just great!

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.

one of the best kicker in the world

Super great kicks

Happy birthday mr Wallace. Buon compleanno 🎂

Superb master

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.

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 ??...

I've only ever done wrestling and kung-fu, and this guy is almost indescribably bad-ass; right on, Mr. Wallace

Amazing

God bless you Bill Wallace. Anyone knows how I can contact him??

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.

he's such a legend

Still watching this in 2018.

LEGEND!!!!!!

Wow what a guy... ps I liked his fight in '76 where he knocked his opponent out 2x. DAMN! It's here on youtube.

That's a snappy gi!

You would not see Bruce Lee Punches or Kicks if he attack you. Like Jackee Chan said Bruce Lee is too fast to fight. Bruce Lee is the rarest of the rare Birds and he was the most physical and mentally fit martial Artist the world have seen. He was second to none in combat. Jim Kell said Bruce Lee is unbelievable when he spared with many martial arts Master and maintain in the early 2000 that no living master of martial arts can stand a chance against Bruce Lee when he was alive. Captain Jesus Incarnated Son of Jesus Christ God of gods END OF LINE

Is there a video specifically on the bladed stance?

great. he is a real master unlike some cocky guys.

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 ;)

A fieldmarshall (or General of the Army) of kicking...sehr gut und richtig!

pretty fast foot there william

Super joe you the best in the world I want to shake your hand before I die

Bill was one of the best kickers of his time I wish I could of train with him when he was living.

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.

For me Bill Wallace and Chuck Norris forever super stars of Martial arts.

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

The hook kick is my holy grail of knock outs

His kicks were still blindingly fast. You'd never see his kicks coming. Imagine what he was like in his prime. :) Probably one of the best kickers in the sport of all time. If not near the best. Bruce Lee might have been better. Difference is Bill was a competitor. Ring proven.

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.

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

When doing a round house or hook kick, what part of the foot are you hitting the target with to be most effective?

My black belt instructor worked with this man!

his gi is awsome.

world greatest martial artist the best in the world he was in Elvis's class. goes to show u how good elvis and bill was/is

he is a world champion, respect. is true that being sideways is bad , however watch videos taekwondo vs muay thai and all of you guys will see that kicks that Wallace use work .

if u watched the biography of Bruce Lee he was always challenged to a real fight in Hong Kong while making movies and his friends and even his wife said Bruce Lee just didn't knock the person down he kicked there ass and if u know bolo young who was in Bruce Lee's movie enter the dragon also challenged Bruce Lee to a fight while enter the dragon was being made so there for Bruce Lee knew his shit and anyone who trained with Bruce would tell ya Bruce Lee was very fast

Impressive

Still how many guys in the UFC that can do that and knock someone out with a hook kick/roundhouse kick combo from the lead leg ?

Hello Bill Wallace I think you know me my name is Daniel king and I go to Kung Fu every Thursday evening. I can do different types of kick's and punches

Ever since the day I tried to "master" the hook kick, my gf's cat has been missing.

I want to support Mr. Wallace where can get these videos?

I wish I had thisinfo in the seventies

hey bill. i got your telegraph from 40 years ago. your going to kick me with that left leg

The guy is from another universe

I definitely prefer Muay Thai kicks to Karate/TKD becuase they are more designed to devastate whatever they hit (due to the use of shin as appose to foot). Though this mans technique is flawless and very impressive. I do use the side kick quite often as it can be very damaging.
