About the author

Adam Gibson has been a martial arts competitor and instructor for the past 15 years. A student of Bill "Superfoot" Wallace for the past four years, he is the only Canadian instructor certified to teach the Superfoot System.

Gibson holds advanced black belts in both taekwondo and hapkido as well as in the Superfoot System. He has run his own martial arts studio for a decade and has made dozens of martial arts instructional videos. He is also the author of two other books, Taekwondo Sparring Strategies: For the Ring and the Street and Advanced Taekwondo: Sparring and Hapkido Techniques. Gibson lives in Ontario, Canada.

Bill "Superfoot" Wallace is a martial arts legend. Known as "Superfoot" for his awesome left leg, he retired as the Professional Karate Association (PKA) undefeated middleweight champion after 15 years of competing in both full-contact and point tournaments. During his competitive years, Wallace captured the U.S. Championships title three times, the U.S. Karate Association (USKA) Grand Nationals title three times, and the Top Ten Nationals title twice.

Wallace was named to Black Belt magazine's Hall of Fame three times within seven years, twice as Competitor of the Year and once as Man of the Year. He is now a regular columnist for Black Belt and has written three martial arts books: Karate: Basic Concepts & Skills, Dynamic Kicking & Stretching, and The Ultimate Kick. He has also appeared in several movies.

Wallace is one of the most sought-after martial arts clinicians in the world. He lives in St. Petersburg, Florida.
