- Bill explains his unique exercise for developing kicking endurance.
Bill would execute between 2 and 7 kicks per combination (without putting his foot down between kicks) for a full 3-minute round. He would do up to 7 rounds per workout, 6 days a week. Bill is the greatest kicker in the history of karate - why not add some of his ideas to your own routine and see how he can help you!

I'm 43 , I started shotokan karate 7 months ago, I have no other skills , so far I'm yellow belt. Kicks are my favorite. Bill superfoot is amazing and my new idol.
As a 45 yr old blackbelt,most can't appreciate the Amazing shape and limberness of this man! Wow! Amazing! Thanks for sharing!
Not one person in the UFC is that skilled at kicking, but imagine if they were!!
Dude, Anthony Pettis, Stephen Thompson, Michael Page, and Yair Rodriguez are all just as skilled if not more so.
@@fourhorsemenmechanix757 no they are not not even close!
I fought in a tournament ages ago, and Bill put on a demo. The fastest kicks that I have ever seen. Nice guy to boot.
Love seeing superfoot, one of the all time greats. Thanks for posting
Sound of trousers when kicking is absolutely satisfying. 😎
What a bunch of haters. Yes, Wallace is from the old school, but he was an innovator for his time. His bread and butter was his lead leg hook kick to the face. And yes, he did knock people out. He was one of the first professional karate fighters. People are arrogant, as if you have acheived more skill and success than Wallace, or anyone else for that matter. I guess some of you are just a bunch of tough guys, huh? The Martial Spirit is a lost art with a lot of today's practitioners. "Who can kick who's ass...." common sense just isn't common anymore.
Well said.
Well I was thinking this would be a funny thing, the video in the thumb nail, like Napoleon dynamite or something like that, but the guy is pretty good, I don't know if he could fight in a real fight, I just never saw him fight, he could probably kick my ass, but, overall I think he looks like a nice dude and deserves respect like all of us. Don't take the internet that seriously. Chill man.
@@nicanornunez9787 Watch his fighting videos on UA-cam. Full Contact Championchips. Where's the problem?
I met him years ago and this man is legit karateka and on top of that, a first class individual.
I was fighting in a TKD Tournament sometime in the 90’s and was walking into one of the casinos up the entry stairs, and we passed each other, he didn’t look like someone that liked to be bothered so I let the moment go. I picked up on his vibe and movement, he walked like a panther and had that same spirit!!!
My hip got stuck from watching this.
I was lucky to see wallace fight. He mastered the front leg kick. He could score points and knock you out with it. It was amazing to watch him score with it even tho his opponents knew it was coming, they couldn't stop it.
His opponents couldnt react because they couldnt see if it was a roundkick, a sidekick or a hookkick which was coming. His set up for all 3 kicks looked the exact same.
Amazing control, precision, speed and power. Training never betrays you. Just hear that sound...
Black belt George bush before he got famous and became president of the United States
he could comb your hair and mess it up again before dropping his leg down.
I believe it.Bill has the best personality I think of any athlete, Ali notwithstanding.
Even a man in todays time could not do that never mind doing it 50 years ago Superfoot was dangerous! 👌👏👊👍
Bill Wallace is the type a guy that flushes the toilet when he farts
Me 2
Bill is the man
Best kickers I've seen and known.
I love how the old school camera man does close up on the kicks thinking it’s gonna make it look faster 😂😂🤣🤣
He had awesome kicks
I had his poster on my wall in the early 90s from Panther Productions
Back when I thought I was a Ninja... Use to buy the AWMA magazines and see "Superfoot" Jean's advertisement . The Jean's had the stretchy crotch for kicking without ripping your pants. Never bought a pair ended up boxing instead but man I wanted those jeans.
Wow, I remember the same thing. Chuck Norris also advertised the jeans with the gusset crotch. Remember Ninja Magazine another biggie back then.
Damn. He can knock you out with a front kick
He’s actually called Bill ‘soup r foot’ Wallace. It’s because he can make soup with his feet. You should try his carrot and coriander broth. Just incredible!
What a badass🔥🔥
Absolutely brilliant! 👌👏👊👍
I met Mr. Wallace at one of my fights. He shook my hand and told me I did very good. I had beat the Canadian champ. Wallace was a true martial artist!!
Awesome, thanks for sharing!
danvanzandt you’re very welcome. One other professional fighter I met was Ali. He came to the boxing camp I trained at. I trained with Floyd Mayweather Sr years ago.
we just bought these tapes back k in the day to admire Bill's technique few of us could kick ike him..
Was a great athlete.
Hes one of my heros, i tried to patterned my kicks after him
Who kicks better? You? Nope. Bill is the gold standard.
True story: I had the opportunity to spar with Wallace in 1983 after my divorce was finalized. I was feeling a little angry (from losing the house and dog from the divorce) and I punched Wallace in the neck. I just woke up from the coma to write this comment on My Tube. Wait...What?...The nurse calls it UA-cam
*HE IS JUST INCREDIBLE!!!,, I HAVE ALWAYS LIKED HIM!!!*
*HE IS THE FIRST "VAN DAMME" !!!!!!!! HHAHAHAHAHA*
*THEY SHOULD HAVE GOT HIM TO PLAY VAN DAMME'S FATHER!!! , IN SOME MOVIE!!!!!!!!*
*THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN GREAT TO WATCH!*
"BOW TO YOUR SENSEI"
Rex Kwando
Kinda looks like Randy Couture
Lol, yeah he does. Looks like George W. Bush from the right angles, too
How dangerous would this guy have been if he had a pair of Rex-Kwon-Do pants to wear with that top?
I know a piece of Bill Wallace trivia. He wasn’t a drinker, but enjoyed Coca-Cola. Used to train with folks I knew.
I heard he used to drink alcohol, but he kicked the habit. To this day, alcohol isn't even sure what happened.
Bad dude. Always has been since I was a kid and since he crossed over from Judo after accident that nearly paralyzed him. Bill "Super Foot" Wallace. He invented the triple round kick. It took us years to finally catch on.
Legend!
Guess it kept him in prime shape
Yes, Bill is still in phenomenal condition at 73 today
AWESOME 💯🥇.
I sparred with bill superfoot once, I punched his kidney and then karate chopped him in his right thump, it broke his thumb into a 90 degree angle.. he begged me to fix it for him and I said Nossir.. I’ll do no such thing. as punishment for such a request I toe flicked his right nipple blue(only triple black belts know what that means).. he apologized of course.. and I took him for a hot lunch and taught him how to fight like me.. I never heard from him again.
Top bloke👍🏽
Swear down, looking at the thumbnail for this, I was 1000% sure it was gonna be some bullshit martial arts video.. how wrong was I! This guys legit!
Right leg???
Would have loved to see Bill and PuGill Gwon Fight
ty
I have been kicked in the head not that hard and got concussion... his kicks are deadly.
genial Graeat fighter
Everyone talks about Bruce Lee when Bill ( superfoot) Williams proved he was the best in competition and not on rehearsed films were the star always wins ? A big fan of Bruce, but he did not challenge the best where as Bill was unbeaten world kickboxing champ and unbeaten over many years and retired undefeated. Fact !
True story: Bill sparred with Jackie Chan on the set of 'The Protector' and, according to one of Jackie's own stuntmen, made Jackie look like an amateur.
Bruce never fought. It wasn't his thing.
Gentleman 👍
beautiful kicks, must have taken so much time and dedication to get that flexibility and control.
But still, not the most useful for actual fighting.
These kicks are taught within the context of tournament fighting. The majority of techniques from every martial art & combat sport are not useful for actual fighting.
@@flexibilityresearch yeah, in the context of tournament fighting they are as perfect as they could be.
But I find it sad when martial arts lose/evolve into something that has no real world application.
Especially when you can see how much work it has taken.
I met Bill Wallace at one of his exhibitions. He was the a narcissistic bully who intimidated and talked down to most people there. We left after 20 minutes.
I doubt you have ever even met Bill, then. I have known Bill for almost 30 years and not once has he ever behaved in the way you described. He is consistently described by people all over the world as the nicest man one could hope to meet.
@@flexibilityresearch I met him allright. you are obviously just a boot licker for him.
Hes no joke!
Air not hit back
Opponents do. He was undefeated. 23 title fights.

"Superfoot". Enough said!
You know he's a fighting genius to counter guys sweeps& combos with his kicks.by the way, he's a dang good boxer too!
If bill was around now at 30 and got his bjj he would be ufc
The most effective stuff isn't this fancy kicking ...now I'm not saying these kicks aren't dangerous because they are but it's the muay thai simple low leg kick and side head kick which are prodominant in mma because all the other stuff is too risky when opposed with single and double leg takedowns.....only now and again do you see a film style fancy kick ko someone. ......
Smell it smell it smell it now take it
Was there ever anyone who got KOd by these flappy PKA-style kicks?
Yes. Don't mistake the lack of thrust for lack of power. Bill's kicks had plenty of snap; he made his opponents move in to the kick, thereby increasing the chance of a KO. See his fight with Bernd Grothe (hook kick) or Jim Echollas (roundhouse kick) for examples.
@@flexibilityresearch Thank you. I couldnt find the first one, but Echollas seemed to get caught by the follow-up punches and immediately got up. I meant a true fight-ending KO after which they have to wake you up, like the ones Mirko Filipovic or Peter Aerts used to cause every other week by a thai-style roundhouse to the head. But I guess its about as likely as finishing someone by a "judo chop". No disrespect to Wallace.
Yes
Just one foot. Stuck in a rut.
Ever see a boxer use only one hand if he didn't have to?
Bill couldn't use his right leg because of a Judo accident. He learned to kick better with his one good leg than most other people did with two.
Not too good with the left - eh!
What?!
@@daddydojang Not too good with the right - eh!!
Bills a bad mamejamie.
Can't kick like that.. Lack flexibility....
Rex-quando, anyone???
Ironic. No one else can do this. And be as stable on one leg. Most guys can just r throw about 2 kids before starting to loos balance.
And as much as I respect Bill for his talent and what he accomplished in the sport of American kickboxing and teaching...I can't help but wonder why any one would pick a sport where one gets punched and kicked in the head. Likely to suffer some degree of brain damage. Some have died (Thailand/Muay Thai). Takes only one clean blow to the head to forever chance one's life for the worse.
I would never consider the consequences of full-contact fighting. Just watch for the entertainment as pect. IT's when it involves your family or friend that it hits home more. To some of us.
Now we know even minor concussions can cause lasting brain damage.
FYI- I think the definition of a minor concussion is "a concussion that happens to someone else".
I don’t understand. Why is he called Superfoot?
He injured the MCL and medial meniscus of his right knee in a judo training accident. He can only kick with his left leg.
I’m afraid that was a failed attempt at comedy. I know all about Bill and at age 50 I’ve admired his skill for years.
I heard he was at an "event and some vendors were offering "Super Foot Long Hotdogs..So somehow his name evolved off of that.Seems like a great guy.
Because he could knock you out, really fast,with a kick to the head.I saw a compilation of his knockouts,quick, precise and powerful
I did some more research and a gentleman that was promoting one of Bills fights was at another unrelated sporting event and noticed the vendors were selling "Super foot long hotdogs" thus the idea was born.Bill said he really didnt care for it.I now watch Bills videos every time I get a chance not only for the Arts but he also has a hilarious comedian.
Only kicks with one leg, with me you don't know where the kick is coming from.
He said he's only demonstrating the front leg. You can use whatever leg youd like. He's simply stating use kicks like you would punches during shadow boxing. Sry for terrible explanation
I bet he can't kick shit with the right foot.
Murica
Bill is an very nice man and good fighter of the old school, he says just tecnique and balanca while loose the balance and kick with power. And above all his breath became short after ten kicks .. too early. Also, i don't like his style ..
I reckon the highest you could kick was belly button?
Barefoot wallet
Bell Soup or Fate Wall-e
🙄
looks awesome but very few opponents were ever hurt by his flash. tyson would have killed him in a real fight.
And this is why the weak the fragile and the gays learn semi contact kickboxing
He said he invented shadowkicking? People have been doing the same Thing for several hundred years. What a tool.
💯% Bullshido
Slurm for free you have no idea who he is do you? Take a seat you malaka
Where is your kicking video Slurm?
I just highly suggest you watch other videos of him , one of the most devastating & fastest kickers of all time.
@@sirfolsom I did. Appreciate his power and that he put everything in his kicks to win a fight. But this video is ridiculous.
@@slurmforfree1754Ill concur that its outdated and his outlet mall gi is absurd , but the basis of the shadow kicking or boxing , is one of the most important workouts you can do , in regards of attaining a excellent form.
Talk too much...
It's an instructional video. Talking is kind of the point....
Yes, you do talk too much.
Anybody else think that this fool is just showing off?
I've known Bill 30 years. Nicest guy ever.
He's 77 now and can still kick your ass.
Flexibility is good. Actual technique sucks.
Where is your kicking video?
Seemed to work for him in real fights
How many kicks can YOU throw without setting your leg down? Have YOUR kicks been measured at 60 mph? No? Train harder.
