I met Bill super foot Wallace in the 1980s in Lake Placid through Zen Do Kai, the second time in Schenectady NY IUE hall, another seminar of ZDK. He was awesome and friendly both times, I still use what he showed me today as I practicing 2024.
Always respected Bill wallace as a fighter he for full contact and never changed the way he fought from his point days you absolutely positively beyond the shadow of a doubt New that he was going to throw that round house kick off the left leg he even sent you a telegramand a FedEx, letting you know what was coming and he had the skill to still hit you with it. That’s my definition of a master. He throws a technique. You know what it is and you can’t do anything about it.
Congratulations to the champion and without a doubt there is a lot of wisdom in The Superfoot, a fighter who created his own style!!!...and how fantastic it would be to see that all that fabulous technique can work today. I think it requires a lot of training to make it work. That's why fighters today are so limited in that aspect, Muay Thai is very good, but hell, they should work harder to be true stars, that our eyes as spectators will pop out of their sockets, I think that in the fighters of Bill's time there was a unwritten law...THE SPECTATOR HAS TO SCREAM WITH EXCITEMENT AT EVERY BLOW THROWN...greetings champions!!!
Great video! I had no idea Kevin was so dang tall! And I still think Shannon won his Karate Combat debut! But his second appearance and that hook kick was a thing of beauty! Had Bill Wallace written all over it!!!! Love it!!!
Bruce was working out with guys like Chuck Norris; Joe Lewis; Joon Rhee etc…oddly he and Bill supposedly never met or met but never converse. Bruce was more interested in making it in Hollywood.
@@theoneaboveall7708 Bill was winning a lot of stuff around that time around that area. Bruce would have only needed to see how good he is. I am sure that Jeet Kune Do mixed in other things too but the similarity is overwhelming.
@@TimothyTakemoto Lee was older than Wallace and like the other guy posted, was already training with variety of fighters. Also, Lee was already learning boxing as well and as was clearly stated in the video many of his (Bill's) tactics are used by boxes going as far back as Ali.
@@barrettokarate Bruce Lee was five years older than Wallace, but he took inspiration from the best, and the best at the time was Wallace. Ali's style probably inspired him too but Ali was nowhere near as side on as Bill and Bruce. Bruce Lee also used the up-jab, as discussed here and Ali did do that too. Maybe you don't think Bill is original? It seems to me that Bill developed this side on style out of necessity, due to his injured right leg, and found it worked. He did not copy anyone to stand side on. He may well have been influenced by boxers when it comes to the up-jab however.
@@TimothyTakemoto All the styles back in the 1970s were similar. Using the extreme side stances like Joe Lewis etc...in regards to Bruce Lee, I believe he became more focus in making $$$. That venture started with the Green Hornet in 1966. For Bruce to have any interest would have been full contact karate or kickboxing...that didn't happen till 1970. Bill didn't start that till 1974. By that time, Bruce was dead.

I’m 63 years old and can’t even do any of the stuff that I did in my glory karate days this guy is near 80 and he still has the skill and the energy level that he did when he was in his 30s and when I was watching himagain that’s a true master and the guy has two hip replacements. I look at wallace and I say to myself I am not a man.
Is it me or does Bill wallace always sound like he’s a little nuts like he’s got a screw loose lol don’t get me wrong. I like Bill wallace I really do but I just always noticed that about the way he speaks. He sounds kind of crazy like he can talk to you and then he’s gonna stop and say a few words that was invisible friend.
Good to see super foot still at it. I remember my Dad taking me to see” The Force of one”, in the movies. What a Classic! Thank you Master Wallis for inspiring me as a child. I also purchased your training videos I think from panther videos. God Bless you ! 🙏🏾
