Bill Superfoot Wallace Seminar May 2017

[@bobsmitty2119]

"I learned to box for two reasons...." lol Superfoot is amazing, and he is definitely telling the truth. Boxing, and karate go together well in my estimation. It gives you a great deal of variety, and allows you to manipulate the range well. A solid karateka is a threat, and a solid karateka with some fundamental boxing is a serious threat.

[@rontate7719]

Was he left handed as well,??? And what was Kang Rhee " s contribution if any to his evolution ,progress as a martial artist.. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnWpZnubpaeLfNE go to about min 17 here to see Kang Rhee ,and stay till after he finishes kicking kzbin.info/www/bejne/h17Cfqunl5ubftE Wallace was a favorite of mine for yrs,so were many uthers... thx for this vid....

[@tomg2946]

@@rontate7719 Yes, he was left handed. I puzzled about this for many years myself, until I saw him signing things with his left hand.

[@TheQuarterbackX]

I love the way this man teachers in all the videos I seen him in. He trys to be a silly best friend type guy. Breaks it all down. And, shows with each move he does which is a threat by it self, he is also setting up his second step, 3rd step 4th , 5th, and so on. Showing it's really is a thinking art. It's not just Physical but also what between the ears.

[@BradYaeger]

It's true, people learn in 3's. First time you surprise them, second time they catch it and start planning a counter , 3rd time you switch it and catch them. It shouldn't work as often as it does, but it does. I picked up that trick from Mr. Wallace waaaay back in the early 80's

[@anoktokbatosai8113]

This guy will forever be one of my idols of all time. Fantastic athlete and superb martial artist.

[@paulfredstone6290]

This guy is an 'old school' legend, hut, if you watch his videos and his fights, he was one of the pioneers of modern MMA. Incredible man who has lived and incredible life. I hope the kids in this seminar were respectful and realised what an honour they had being taught by the Superfoot.

[@jimchilson8433]

Bill is a wonderful guy that loves teaching. Thank you for your generosity. And the people playing the crazy music didn't realize they were drowning out genius?

[@asandmyfil-amhubby9666]

Thank's for Kung fu kingdom for sharing this awsome video of Super foot Bill Wallace should do more of this video of Wallace God bless and keep it comin'

[@tomg2946]

I was in UK at this time May 2017, wish Idve known, love another seminar, (about ready now after my last one with him in 1980- just before his retirement bout). There was no one faster or more effective back then with a kick than Bill.

[@binodmenahihu8104]

Such an amazing teacher... I would be so honored to take a class with him

[@charlesreichow7178]

How do you think all this started Self taught ..try it.!!!!

Please, please, what FOUR of you disliked this? Hmm?

[@carlossalomonsabajaliaga1844]

hello from chile south america lessons for the living legend wonderful 👊👊👊🤗🤗🤗

[@AGC828]

Watching this one video...you see how the Karate guys would have no chance at all against a kickboxer. They'd never see the punches or expect the kicks. Interesting Wallace admitted Karate isn't designed for fighting. Many Karateka don't know this. So they spend their lives studying naively thinking they're now badasses. There's no substitute for ring experience. No matter what anyone says. To truly know you've learnt what was taught. More so if our goal is "self-defence". The man was undefeated in kickboxing. I'd take his advice on fighting over Bruce Lee (Lee never competed). Wallace was "the best"...Proven and undeniable!! And he was well educated. With 2 college degrees. One being a Master's. One of the few educated fighters. Knew when to get out...with an educated reason.

[@kbanghart]

Depends on what kind of karate you're taking. I don't know how many dojo's spar these days, but I'm glad the one I am in does. And even MMA can't really simulate a real self defense experience, because a lot of moves you can't do in mma.

[@Geotubest]

It's like listening to Yoda. Bill Wallace is a bonified living LEGEND.

[@goed1adit]

If he's bonified, how could he move like that? 🤔

[@AGC828]

There aren't many like Bill any more. Lot of the "legends" are gone. Joe Lewis--gone. Still have Benny "the Jet" Urquidez though. Chuck Norris (who does't do interviews seminars). Jim Kelly is dead. Of course Bruce Lee as of 73...though, I never considered Bruce a "legend". He was a film star. As much as he tried to say he wasn't. That's all he was since he never competed. As an amateur...thus, he never turned pro. So Lee was never tested/documented (photos/film). My respect goes to proven champions like Wallace, Urquedez...proven. backgrounds undeniable.

[@Will-xu2xk]

he is a sleaze.

[@savagemaestro]

LOVE this badass!

[@neilbradley1036]

Awesome man

[@josephcollins7393]

I wonder how old super foot was in this video

[@KungFuKingdom]

Master Wallace was 71 years young when this was filmed!

[@kbanghart]

@@KungFuKingdom wow, how old is he now?

[@ericcooper627]

All those years of kicking has obviously given him a hip problems but he still looks great for his age!!

[@rontate7719]

both hips replaced? i think i have red that..

[@tomg2946]

I believe hes had 3 hip replacements. Special designs too to help him keep his hip mobility. Older now, I note he is throwing mainly chest or rib high side kicks in his teaching seminars, though he can still throw the odd round kick or hook kick at head height, at least no so long back I saw in a video. Maybe the days of five kicks at head height with that high knee up are gone, or maybe he reserves it for special occasions, but Bill has *nothing* left to prove regarding his ability. A true magnificent legend, and long may he continue to bless the martial arts world.

[@kbanghart]

@@tomg2946 love his kicks but I was watching another video of him recently where he said that you know, kicks to the head are great but they can miss a lot, he said most of his knockouts came from kicks to the ribs. Which is great news for a lot of us who can't kick that high LOL. Of course kicking that high also leaves you wide open standing on one leg, so against a grappler I would say that's a tough proposition, yes?

[@michaelra3111]

Bill ist einfach klasse!

[@ЮрийМиронов-в2ш]

Чудесный Дядька.

[@AGC828]

It's great BW continues to give seminars. But every time we see one of these videos...we see how he's still on a totally higher level . WORLD'S apart from the students. That the students in tthesse videos will NEVER come close to where he was in his prime. He was legendary. Fastest kick clocked at over 60 MPH. With one bum knee (Judo injury). His demo of basic boxing punches. You can see that a Karate-ka would NEVER see any of the punches coming the way they are delivered. :) Seemingly "simple" fighting style--boxing. But one of the most effective for full-contact.= body body conditioning. Karate is "exercise". and demonstrations. In a point-fighting match Wallace would still win at his age here. :) He'd be untouchable. Still.

[@kbanghart]

Karate is great if taught correctly

[@ronin4555]

Would have been better if he didn't have to speak over the music.

[@JohanJonasson]

Who the fuck is playing basketball while the legend is talking?

[@larryb5986]

I love the details he was giving. What I DIDN'T Like is HOW Rude the group was on the other side playing MUSIC... Someone should have said something... It's just plan rude... people paying to hear from a Great teacher.

[@kbanghart]

Haha relax

[@alexscott730]

Why THE FUCK are they blasting music at a seminar?

[@pustomkumar8165]

He is quick

[@nkel6111]

bill says use more than traditional karate...I agree. But in light contact he has benen beaten...twice I know of . john towns a los angeles 17 year old beat him as did ernie lieb in Detroit in maybe 67,68. But he was a tough, much better more versatile than joe lewis who had limited techniques. could I beat him...nah

[@tomg2946]

True, Bill lost a few times in point matches, like all the top fighters did too. Another who gave him a hard time in points was Howard Jackson- he was about the only fighter fast enough to blitz Bill as Bill started a kick, sometimes catching him on the 'way in'. But on balance, in his prime, Bill was the top fighter at least 2 years running, I think 72 and 73, and in the top ten point fighters until he went full contact.

[@AGC828]

We've all heard stories about how professional fights get visited by "bad people" before the fight wanting them to throw the fight or do something in their favour. Since there's always a lot of money riding on the fight..I never knew there was also the TV people and promotors who would ask the fighters to carry the lesser fighter a few rounds. Just to fill time that night. That it's not always the mob. Though, I have to wonder now...in any big fight...millions of $ involved...surly the mob will talk to the fighters to do what THEY want...and then there's also the promotors/TV people?? I guess they'd do as the mob says.."more"...it's not just about going out there and doing your best. :) No "outside influences"...

[@georgeangulo2136]

I guess he is no longer teaching high kicks combinations

[@kbanghart]

At his age LOL no probably not

[@Seegie16]

I must say. The karate guys in the white gis were so rigid and telegraphing the side kick

[@kbanghart]

Meh, not really an issue if they are learning.

[@Seegie16]

@@kbanghart youre right! Bills opening thier eyes to the world of how things change when its full contact fighting. This must be an amazing moment for them. Bills a legend. It you couild bring back a superfoot in his prime to now in a time machine hed be knocking everyone out in ufc's

[@kbanghart]

@@Seegie16 He would be really good for sure, but how would he do against a really good wrestler / grappler?

[@Seegie16]

@@kbanghart I know he was a hs wrestler and judoka before karate. I'd assume that he'd pick up the grappling game very easily with his aptitude for martial arts. He'd be Like a better Steve Thompson or machida

[@STBRetired1]

The problem with traditional karate is twofold. One, it assumes you're fighting another karate-ka who is relatively stationary. That was true in Japan over a hundred years ago but not in today's modern world. Two, it assumes that all your punches and kicks are deadly. What Mixed Martial Arts has shown us is that karate strikes are NOT deadly and can be shaken off by a trained athlete. MMA has also shown us that a little defensive movement can make a karate fighter MISS and be open to counters. But, WORST OF ALL, a karate fighter is about useless if the fight goes to the ground. A more functional and practical martial art than traditional karate would be Muay Thai. At least they incorporate boxing skills into their movements.

[@kbanghart]

I agree with a lot of what you say, but remember, there's different kinds of karate, I mean if you're talking about actual moves in the street, you can't do those in mma. If you're talking pure self-defense karate in the street, someone who knows what they're doing is going to nail you in the larynx or knee or balls or something horrible if you give them a half a second. Other things like the back of the head, can't do that in mma, like elbow to the spine, etc

[@kbanghart]

Also, some good karate dojos out there are teaching ground work. But I think it's important not to always assume that you're going to fight on the ground, because what if your opponent has a buddy? Oops.

[@stewartheather5654]

Its the singer not the song

[@TrovaPR1]

He had hip replacement that's why he is not kicking like he used to...

[@kbanghart]

Of course, he's older, that would be silly to expect someone his age now to still kick that high. Also he said kicks to the head sometimes miss, and he got most of his knockouts by kicks to the ribs. Plus, kicking that high leaves your standing leg wide open.

[@ericmacnichol3791]

that red head guy standing off on the side line. does he think he's tough or something. hands on his belt. feet spread apart and head cocked back like he's all about it.

[@simontaylor9362]

That music.....ffs

[@kbanghart]

It's just music. People who were there in person could probably hear a lot better, we have to listen to the video.

Bill Wallace is the most obnoxious bully I have met. That is his real personality.
