F22Videos Great job! Thank you for posting this! It took me back to my childhood. I was competing in point karate at the time and saved my allowance to buy Superfoot’s tapes from Black Belt or Inside Kung Fu magazines! Great memories! “Superfoot”, Benny “The Jet”, Don “The Dragon” were warriors!
I was lucky enough to have a seminar with him once as a young child. I'm just as impressed with him now as I was then. I noticed his stance, posture, hand positioning, and general approach is much like that of point fighter even when he's in the kickboxing ring. For instance, he fights mainly with his front foot and front hand the way point fighters do. And he was a successful point fighter before he became successful kickboxer. His style reminds me of Pedro Xavier an enormously successful point fighter in the 90's.
Experts (like Bill Wallace) understand the details so clearly - and can explain them as a result. Benny Urquidez's videos are similar. So cool how these masters share what they know. Thank you for this presentation, Mr. Bill!
I like the way you explained every technique. we have a saying in our system KISS Keep It Simple Stupid.you made it easy for anyone to understand. Thank You For Your Time Sir..
I have found that when striking uniformly with pulling back your punch when done striking at the exact moment, when you should, there is a natural movement of the forward strike and backward pull back to the original position. They will line up and all what goes into the movement of the strike and pulling back of the strike. The difficulty is to be prepared to allow your striking hand to spring back to the same location where it left from in less then a second after you strike. The strike causes a reaction to pull back right away. If you don't do this you are not properly reset to strike again. A lot of boxers do this and leave their arm hanging out of position and do not reset fast enough to strike again and are not in a defence posistion to protect themselves from a counter strike. .
Bill Wallace is certainly one of the greats, but at 5:00 he is demonstrating a backfist, not a jab. Also, in the beginning he says he'd rather be quick than fast. Quick is the amount of time and effort it takes to reach maximum speed; fast is WHAT that maximum speed IS! Not either one, but BOTH together is part of athletic superiority!
I still think that you have to have the talent or gift inborn in you to have the speed and flexibility to execute these techniques. Repetition drills and forms are just icing on the cake for Bill. Still impressive, good fast and strong for a Five O.
Good tip but there are times when you WOULD move y our shoulder just to get the other guy to react...but you're not throwing your punch or kick till AFTER he's committed. Just don't suddenly drop the shoulder every time. Advice from an ex-world champion kickboxer. Priceless. Bill is one of the few ex- champions of his calibre willing to give his time to teach (even if it is income). Chick Norris doesn't. Actually, I think he's the only one that never did. All the other "legends" did and still do today.
Bill Wallace's bio shows that he studied Shorin-ryu Karate while serving in the U.S. Air Force. If you believe his bio to be false or are accusing him of lying I suggest you make those accusations to his face, although I would not recommend it.
he is te real karate expert Bruce lee was Hollywood edited and cut after cut until they got it Hollywood style enough this man superfoot is the very best at wht he did hell he's still undefeated as a older Man U can't say that about one other person ever not chuck Norris not Bruce flee none of them but bill super foot Wallace and elvis promoted him to his 3rd or 4th degree black watch Elvis's movie with Wallace I it called gladiator it's back when bill was 100-0 the best fighter in the world then an still now I'm my eyes keep up the perfect work buddy tcb
+Cp Da Don why do people like you still exist by saying bruce lee was a fake chuck norris and many other fighters even bill wallace knew bruce was the real deal smh
+foxybrown2 and u know so much if u know or knew so much about him tell me where he wa born and not use google or any other internet service to find out. Bruce was great but not how ppl and Hollywood try to say and show he was a movie star that new some types of karate that's about it or he would have bn like super foot and been know for fighting in matches and etc just open ur eyes and stop believing what the media tells u it's not hard to see the truth unless ur dumb
There is no need to go any further with you because you just don't know. Just for further reference my instructor Buck Sam Kong is Real and He fought Bruce and I asked him how was he and he said very fast very fast. Everyone who studies the martial arts do not have to fight in the ring their are plenty of great fighters who will never fight in the ring. and if you do not know that then go ask some of the masters from some of the dojos. fighting in the ring is only part of it.
Q" Cam a good middleweight KO a heavyweight? Or will the 165-lb man just end up pissing off that 260--lb man? :Could bill in his prime have KO'd Joe Lewis in HIS prime?
James This sounds very interesting. Would you consider arranging with me a way to post the video of what you are talking about please? Bill has allowed me to use his content, so it's up to you. dave
soy chileno pero no entiendo ingles, bill wallace excelente artista marcial pero los videos de este eximio luchador de todos los tiempos no puedo poner el video con subtitulos para poder extraer el conocimiento de este maestro. por eso puse el video con pulgar hacia abajo no por el ; aclaracion...
bueno el video se ve interesante pero no hay digamos una traduccion al español, pero si hablamos de wallace es un monstruo de las artes marciales y lo admiro...
Getting him to compare on the first UFC was inspired. Of course, it's possible that he knew what was going to go down and was faking his suprise but every time he started discussing the superiority of someone's striking ability, they got taken down and submitted.
My dad used to box professionally and from what little I know is that all boxers move while jabbing to create openings and will throw in combinations. Believe me they will find an opening as they study what your style is and I've never saw a boxer as describes as this guy stated... I know he's just trying to make a point but be honest about another sport where movement is key.
I admire his technique, quickness and relaxation but... In the side stance you are very limited with your back hand which is why his right hand was barely ever used. Secondly, an overhand right will get to maybe not your chin but definitely to your temple especially if the right foot of the person throwing moves somewhat in behind his left shoulder at around 45 degrees. Even Floyd got hit that way by Maidana's right hands being on the ropes. This stance in general is not for everyone. Thirdly, his hook kick was coming in parallel to the floor with him leaning back which made it difficult to use the back hand. Hook kick is better be thrown as a semi ax kick coming down at a 45 degree angle with the right hand coming right behind it. Fourthly, his sidekick utilized the side of the foot which is def easier to hurt. Should be the heel. Fifthly, he never faced a serious mid distance to inside puncher as his opponent s got inside his kicking range. From that stand point they were either unskilled at punching or the fights were fixed. In those moments he was def easy to hit with uppercut and so on but by some reason opponents would do work getting in on him and once in barely do anything almost like point fighters. Most typical example would be his retirement fight against Biggs who had a lot of chances to punch the shit out of him. But he was def good for his time. Nowadays, however any decent pressure fighter would smash him even at those full contact rules as the only thing he could offer on the inside was his left hook and occasional uppercut and holding which looks weak. I don't believe his chin was ever really tested which is a big part of full contact fighting. So my overall assessment is OVERHYPED!!!
