Mr. Wallace is so charismatic and engaging. He would be an excellent teacher in any subject.

[@Jenn-lq9yu]

My Tae Kwon Do instructor based a lot of his teaching on Bill's fighting style, though one thing he added was that we also blocked a lot with the shin of our lead leg. So if someone was coming in, we also had three options for blocking, as we'd block low with our shins, mid and high with our hands. Bill's contributions to the practice of Martial Arts are definitely massive and not to be understated.

[@vermili0n]

Yeah I can tell this fighting style is very useful and lethal, I need to start training for self defense and I really like this style. Jab and kick keeps the attacker at bay or injured, your head is hard to reach because your sideways and can easily dip out... all useful techniques

I remember him being a great teacher with a fun sense of humour, and a child-like energy. Really happy to see him still so active and excited about sharing his knowledge. Such a great guy.

[@Semiotichazey]

Bill's movement is still so clean and fast. His advice about recovery from injury is golden and the reason he's still so slick.

[@shammaboy]

There is a lot to be learned from Bill's style. Much like Oscar De La Hoya, he used one side of his body for offense, and the other for defense (primarily). If you don't throw strikes from across your body, you really can't over commit to a strike, or become off balance as easily. Bill then added to that by generating power from his striking side (his left hand and foot). Bill could throw strikes with speed, or with power from his lead hand/lead foot. He also was a master of disguising his strikes by having them all look like the same strike until halfway through throwing it, when he chose a target. All his punches started out looking like a jab, all his kicks looked like a snap kick, until he committed. I've always felt this is not only a style meant for point karate, but possibly MMA too. Not enough people know Bill's story, or how legit he is. This guy was the UFC before UFC, hell he even was an announcer for the UFC in the early days. Badass.

I love how Bill breaks down and simplify his unique sideways fighting system. He got the most out of using only five weapons to dominate point fighting in 1960-70s to full contact karate in 1980s and beyond. He was ahead of his time for sure. Thank you Jesse. You asked all the right questions.

Many thanks for this Jesse. Just before his retirement fight I trained with Bill for best part of a day. He complimented me saying I had good round kick, good side kick, but I was dropping my knee on the hook kick. 39 years later, having worked on it, I dont drop the knee. Thats one of the key points fighting sideways, every kick comes from the same high knee position, every punch can be delivered from that guard style he uses, esp his left hook surprised alot of good fighters.

[@vtrvr511]

B. Lee's rear leg was 3 centimeters shorter than his front leg. He explained that he used his longest leg to reach the Target, and the shorter (and stiffer) one for balance.

[@Msosbog]

Agreed. Though a little clarification: Bruce Lee's JKD concepts actually predate Bruce Lee. They are older martial art concepts that Bruce brought together in a hybrid-like system (not a style). Most of these were regarded by kung fu masters as closely guarded secrets and in combination with teaching westerners, Bruce was not very welcomed by the old school practitioners. For example the intercepting fist is actually reading, or "intercepting" the intent of the opponent; This is a very old method in kung fu usually described as reacting second but striking first. Bruce's innovation was combining these methods, or "hacks", and presenting them in a way that can be adopted and integrated into literally any style. For example Chuck Norris was a student of Bruce Lee, but Chuck's style was Tang Soo Do. I would say it's very similar to what Jesse is doing with his, if I may, hybrid style of Karate. I hope no one is offended as I mean no offense. Respect and love to all present and past as we continue to grow and learn from eachother. 🙏👍

[@AZTigerMMA]

I love mr Wallace and have been blessed to train with mr Wallace on more than a few occasions . I’m also an MMA / bjj coach - Back in his time , yes that style and stance worked and he was a beast with it for my sport. Bladed stance , in my opinion should be done but limited , due to the ability to easily have your back taken in my sport MMA [ self defense because even thugs know “take the back “ and choke). Lead leg kicks can more easily jammed and or open to being rendered soft and opportunities for “takedowns” are handed over on a platter. Mr Wallace is a phenomenal athlete and was an absolute beast that could pull this off. I’m not saying it wouldn’t work , it’s just a tool, many people that are handy can’t use a “wood lathe” but it’s still a good tool. I don’t think it replaces a hammer, and saw. The thing I took from him that is 100 is , be on the attack , speed works , and fakes and set ups are necessary. Mr Wallace is a national treasure and I would never say a cross word about this man.

Told me where he was going to throw a kick and when. Still couldn't block them. I have always been more of a defensive style fighter. Let you come to me type. Instant Humble. I use a very similar fighting stance to his and he helped me refine it. I use it because I am better with my legs than my hands, and it is easier to stifle incoming kicks from that stance.

Bill SuperFoot Wallace : Kickboxing Legend 🙏💯

[@PingwinB]

I love this guy very kind and humble.I was watching his VHS training movies and by them I'm a lot better in kicking,I love to training kicks I think Bill Wallace and Jean Claude Van Damme are the best kickers in the world and inspiring me like hell.That would be great if You someday talk about Van Damme as martial artist and fighter.OSU!

It's amazing how fast he is even now. Being able to adapt and modify his abilities to show his strengths is why he was a legend in his day.

Oustanding video Jesse!! Bill ''Superfoot'' Wallace is one of the best kickers of all times. Specially with his magnificcent side kicks. Even Kris Van Damme told in an interview that his dad, Jean-Claude Van Damme learnt a lot and improved his kicks in his youth by watching and practicing with Bill ''Superfoot'' Wallace's vhs. Bill Wallace is a living legend🥋🥊💪👍👍
