Inside Kung Fu Hall of Fame (1992 Female of the Year)

The below article were written by Blackbelt Communications, Inc.
Few people can make Bill Wallace admit that he's stuck his "Superfoot" in his supermouth. Kickboxing champion Kathy Long is one of them.
Wallace slammed women's kickboxing as "not real fights," and chided five-time champion Long for "not having knockout power." But after the blonde bombshell pummeled Kyoko Kamikaze in 1992 at the World Martial Arts Challenge in Las Vegas, breaking the Japanese fighter's ribs and bruising her kidneys, Wallace became a believer in Long's skills. "She went out there and looked really good," the gallant Wallace wrote in his monthly BlackBelt column before later apologizing to Long in person. "It is a slap in my own face . . . but that was a good fight."
Long, the renowned "Princess of Pain," has no grudge against her fellow fighter, to be sure, but it's illustrative of Long's power that she could change the mind of even hardcore nay-sayers, who believed that women should step through the ropes only as ring girls.

Kathy was one of my trainers when I was much younger. You might not know it from her ferocity in the ring, but she was always very sweet and compassionate, and she knew how to motivate us and make us reach beyond what we thought we could endure.

[@ryanmccauley3926]

My gf trained under her long term and i did some seminars with her she was absolutely fantastic to train under, super humble, super scary, but she felt like a safe person

[@andresvesalio7848]

One of the best women kickboxer of her time!

[@allenniumfalcon]

That hug to Benny is so lovely 😄

[@MacStoker]

talented and good looking.. im surprised we dont know more about her...

[@vojdanzaprov4643]

I like how she fights with her hair untied and no freaking tattoo's. She looks like a beauty and the beast in one🙂

[@dennissanchez321]

I watched her fight men in Bakersfield California in the 80s

[@houseofmouseboxer490]

Very good reel. Perfectly captures what set Long apart from her North American competition. She was among the fastest and most aggressive in her division, and her technique and ability to put hands and feet together were second to none on the continent.

[@toddjohnson5176]

Kathy is one of the best martial artists in planet earth! Most people forget she was Michelle fifer's stunt double and did the fight scenes as Catwoman in the Batman 2 movie. 🥰🥋🥊

БРАВО Kathy Long Highlight! 🥊

[@christinebates7493]

I had the incredible honor of training with Kathy for 2 yrs in Bakersfield CA. She's the strongest fastest female fighter I've ever seen. She's incredibly talented and hard working and will always have my utmost respect.

[@nealstanifer7775]

Did you train at Eric Nolan's kwoon? Me too. I loved Kathy, and I was a big fan of Tony Hannon, as well. He was great with the kids.

[@blooerror4046]

Today I did a training seminar with her with my mixed martial art/self defence school and it was such a well paced and easy to grasp class. she is so sweet and fun to work with!

[@allenniumfalcon]

Beautiful and powerful. Winning combo.

[@christopherrobinson4373]

Awesome highlight brother so glad you’re posting agin! Can’t wait to see more!!

[@robwilcox561]

Great kicker and fighter, just not sure about the unsighted spinning back fist - never looks good landing a technique when you're not facing the opponent. Doesn't really detract from all the other fantastic techniques she used though.👍

[@omegasquad868]

i wonder why she never fought Lucia Rijker???

[@SyzranetsVolodya]

Lucia was afraid of her

[@omegasquad868]

@@SyzranetsVolodya LMAO Kathy Long lost to british kickboxer and her record as a kickboxer was 18-1 with 6 KOs and a 4x world champion and she had a boxing record of 2-1 NO KOs and Lucia Rijker had a Kickboxing record of 37-1 26 KOs and was a 7x world kickboxing champion and 5x world Muay Thai champion as well as a 3x world champion in Boxing with a record of 17-0 14KOs so aaaaaa yea your opinion is completely incorrect Rijker is known as the Worlds most feared and dangerous fighter in history she is the GWOAT of Kickboxing, Muay Thai and Boxing bar none!!!!!!

[@SyzranetsVolodya]

@@omegasquad868 Kathy lost to british in GB. with GB judges. Lucia lost mediocre male kickboxer, lost by knockout a few seconds after the start

[@davethomas5161]

The real answer is Kathy fought at 125 while Lucia fought 135. Neither fighter wanted to switch weight classes to fight the other.

[@The_Garrett_White_Show]

cool

[@nmr20067]

She would have done well in women’s MMA. Yes, she could and would have learn grappling and BJJ. Remember she commentated the first ever live UFC event (UFC 1) in 1993 with Bill Wallace and Jim Brown(RIP)….

[@freaker126]

she got good techniques.

[@marrakechsportracer4170]

Cynthia was more the Martial Artist/Stunt women, Long was a career long fighter,.. Mrs Kathy woudl've eaten her up within 3 rounds.But respect to them both.

[@cornpop7805]

No disrespect, was she on steroids? It's really rare to see a woman ripped up like that without steroids. I've met one in my life.

[@marrakechsportracer4170]

i don't think steriods ,.Mrs. Kathy was a fitness/Diet exercise fanatic in a time where not many Women career fighters were.She clearly has that extra genetic gear that most women didn't have back then tho..

[@AGC828]

I just remembered her name. Forgot about her. Sad t hat any great fighter...female or male...only as a limited run. Maybe 5 to 10 years...where they seem untouchable. Even Tyson. Then they start loosing....forwhat ever the reason. Do they get soft? From al the money they made (boxers/WBC e.g. tyson)? Or is this just "God's will"? :) Was sit worth it? For them...the damge they take and the injuries...as "entertained" as we were watching them...
