Superfoot

This weekend I had the pleasure of joining Bill (Superfoot) Wallace (standing, far right, in the photo; I'm kneeling, in white, near the middle) for a sparring seminar.  Per Wikipedia, from 1974 to 1980 he was the Professional Karate Association (PKA) World Full-Contact Champion, and the Middleweight Kickboxing Champion, retiring with a 23-0-0 record.

The 3-hour seminar was held at The Way Martial Arts in the Indianapolis area on Saturday June 17th.  It consisted of punching and (mostly) kicking, with an emphasis on offensive footwork.

Bill Wallace is currently 77 years old and impressively fit.  He does the splits, kicks above head height, and leads 3-hour sparring seminars around the country.  If I get a chance to sign up for another (nearby) seminar, I will.  Good fun.
