Superfoot Wallace, the Teacher of all teachers, I've learnt quite a bit about strategies that's not in my curriculum simply by watching his RUclips clips
He's a funny guy. "Talk funny for the rest of my life." That moment reminded so much of a Fire Marshall Bill episode. lol. Definitely has a lot of charisma.
En el video Wallace asume que el adversario siempre defiende con la mano adelantada y desde la misma distancia. Muchos de los métodos para evitar un golpe es por medio de la movilidad y el juego de pies. Una de la respuestas ante un golpe es contra golpear. Como un drill para provocar una reacción esta muy bien . Saludos
I have the deepest respect for this man who was a God in the 70' and inspired me and my coaches, although this side stance strategy is harder to apply nowadays in a low kick or muay thai game
Hey Bill. What is the origin of and where did you learn than Kata ,form in your book, Karate basic concepts ,from back in the mid 1970s?????The kata /form in the back,end of book......
I remember seeing Wallace destroy a black street fighter named Herbie in Miami back in 1975 or so....It was a regular match, not actually in the street, but that’s how I’d describe the other fighter’s style. Didn’t last a minute.
I see a way to defend both, however speed is and advantage, I've admired his Technic for years, now that I've seen him teaching it, he seem to make it fun to learn. Hits below the waist can be block with a knee, above the knee all can be blocked with just one hand if your quick enough, that leaves the other hand open to attack with. However, most people are right hand and right footed. that means they are used to defending with their left hand, open hand Technic, using their wrist to block. In other words, a hit from the left would be unexpected to most people.
You are in range of both of his hands. How did you get there? And there is an assumption that he will not be countering immediately and moving forward.
Not specifically in response to what Testa said, but I think the REAL point of the video was training your opponent to do what you want them to do. That's a proactive philosophy not a reactive one. It renders your opponent's possible counter moves academic because you've re-trained him to do what you want him to do. I know it seems simple to say that "I'd do this" or "I'd do that" but the point is that the predator dictates what the prey will do. Speeding the action up to actual speed only increases the effectiveness of the technique. It's like in football when a receiver runs a route; he knows where he's going but the defender can only react to his route. The only real answer is to study the receiver's film so you can anticipate his next move, but in a fight with a stranger that wouldn't be a likely option. You're watching a genius at work.
It’s not a perfect system. And wouldn’t work for most people due to the fact that chamber must be really high and tight. I teach this to my students from a longer distance. Just outside jab range. However , practicing close is valuable. I have caught people from shoulder bump range with this kick and hurt them. Mr. Wallace’s concepts certainly served him well during his era.
Who was first, Bruce Lee or Bill Wallace? It seems clear that Bill originated this technique, due to the necessity of having an injured right leg. Did Bruce Lee invent this stance independently (except swapping to strong leg front) or did he see Wallace beat Karateka and emulated Bill? No. This is from 1967 where Bruce is using his side stance. ruclips.net/video/_5KBnA-2NBg/видео.html So *if anything* I guess Bill may conceivably have emulated Bruce but it could easily have been independent.
Pity we NO longer see Bill Wallace showing off his legendary 3 kicks. Has Mr Wallace got stiff with old age ? All we now see is his low side kick its sad to watch greatness getting old. Go on Wallace start those high kicks of yours again , no one cares about low side kicks.
Do you want to know why he can still move? Because he quit kickboxing early when he realized the body takes a great deal of punishment from real physical contact. He said so himself:" the human body is not made to continually recieve punishment." That is also why he made films and turned into Great Master Yoda.He could no longer compete because of his broken knee on his opposite kicking leg. Regards
I expect you are out of breath wiping your ass and this guy is 76 and can still do the full splits and kick a guy in the face. ruclips.net/video/dpJQNk3Wk2Y/видео.html
C'mon Bill. Everyone knows boxers get hit all the time...no one who's ever put on gloves and entered the ring was so great they NEVER got hit. That makes no sense at all. Boxers bob and weave, slipping punches while moving out of reach or to get inside an opponent' reach to go to work. They don't try to block all punches like in karate. Please don't misrepresent boxing using karate techniques.
I met Bill Wallace at one of his exhibitions. He was the a narcissistic bully who intimidated and talked down to most people there. We left after 20 minutes.
Very logical advice from someone who has proved his theory was right during his career. Deep respect
Can anyone not love listening this champ? I respect him
The LAST old dude you ever want to fuck with.. GOD Bless you Superfoot..
Bill you still got it!
Love to watch these old Karate masters.Original old school tough guys. Super foot,Norris!Lewis,etc.
Love and Respect to them all.

"And what do you think is there? My Foot." BILL IS THE MAN!!!!
Greatest sidekick ever
This guy still moves amazing!!! Wow....cannot believe how long a career this man has had. Great instruction.
The fight scene between him and Jackie Chan in The Protector was BOSS!
I'm weak asf that you have Tom as you're profile pic. LMAO
Remember seeing him in fight to win (1985), legend.
He's a funny guy. "Talk funny for the rest of my life." That moment reminded so much of a Fire Marshall Bill episode. lol. Definitely has a lot of charisma.
70 years old and has more flexibility than I did when I was 16. Damn.
the only man in this history of Martial arts to be called "Superfoot" you want to know how to kick? listen to this man.
Wallace still moves as well as any young athlete . the guy is still "super" !
Phenomenal Mr. Wallace!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Still amazingly quick reflexes and position shifts. Fun to watch.
Thank you Bill. Love to see you in person
70 yrs and still able to kick like that. he may not be able to hit the head but he don't have to.
Bill won my respects
What an amazing teacher!😍👍
He is truly inspirational in the martial arts, looking great Bill Wallace quick and sneaky
Loved this guy.

Wirklich ein ganz großer Lehrer. Osu. Enoch. Germany.
Wallace ist gut für Sport aber den Krieg nicht...zu alt.
Got to love bill!
I wish I could meet, & learn from Bill "Super foot" Wallace.
i've been a martial arts student for 40 +years and i have always said the best technique is not being at the end of a strike or grab.
благодарим за видео....
I have the deepest respect for this man who was a God in the 70' and inspired me and my coaches, although this side stance strategy is harder to apply nowadays in a low kick or muay thai game
O my god Isabel old. My Idol Bill Wallace,
The side stance is great as long as there are no leg kicks, ask Stephen Thompson after the Till fight. Although, it’s great kick boxing strategy.
I’m gonna start making fart noises when I land strikes on my students from now on 🤣😂🤣
In his 70's Superfoot can kick better, stronger, faster and with far more dexterity than 99% of the guys active in the MMA circuit right now.
yeah. true he was great
The guy is a legend, but pretty sure he'd be the first to say that's nonsense. He is in great shape though, and an inspiration to any martial artist.
great it explain my championship style to a tie.
nice tips
brillant

This is a death stance in Muay Thai K1, Glory or anything but that outdagted full contact rule set.
HELLO TO MR BILL LOVE FROM IRAN
Bravo and blessings ._.._.Groooovy
70 years young lol
Just because we get older in years Don’t mean we slow Down some off use get better with time life Gos on
Novice question: Couldn't the opponent just counter hit you with a roundhouse kick to the body while he's blocking your jab to his head?
We all age, but his wisdom is something every fighter need..
His wisdom in your body would be amazing 😂
But you may never get a fit as he was!!

Nice ending.
The older a man gets,the harder his knuckles become
Yup!
That's not even close to being a constant. There are several factors that are involved in terms of the health of our hands over time.
Simples. Mas funciona. Kickboxing. Sanshou. Muai Thay.
Genius

Never do the same block more than 2x consecutively.
0:01
BOOP! PFHTHRR!
A great teacher not bad for a 73 year old man
Still agile, dang
Darius Rucker and Fire Marshal Bill coming to a dojo near u!
I respect this guy for what he did in the past but martial arts evolve like everything else.
It's so sad to see him so old...
Seriously? That guy is in better shape at 76 than you were at 21.
Still punting this old shtick.
Top top bull .........
Bull dung. I agree.
Superfoot=JCVD
When he let his guard down at the last 2 seconds of the video, superfoot should have hit him with one more boop.
s u p e r
Great for sport. Not so great for street.
The main issue would be against a grappler
Pity we NO longer see Bill Wallace showing off his legendary 3 kicks. Has Mr Wallace got stiff with old age ? All we now see is his low side kick its sad to watch greatness getting old. Go on Wallace start those high kicks of yours again , no one cares about low side kicks.

Damn he's really aged.
Hes 70
Don't we all. Time flies.
great skill-bill, but.....odd
odd !!
Unrealistic,in a street-fighting,warring world.
I met Bill Wallace at one of his exhibitions. He was the a narcissistic bully who intimidated and talked down to most people there. We left after 20 minutes.
He's creepy
Fucking boring all over the same shit do something different
