He's right about Bruce having "a huge energy". If you look at his movies or his pictures, you can always sense this incredibly powerful aura radiating from him..
Jack Mehan Bruce fought everyday..in the kwoon you dumbfuck..those "competitions" were various SEPERATE private businesses trying to make a buck off the martial artists ,who were TRYING to make a name for themselves to open a dojo..these money making "competitions" did not represent the whole martial arts world but we're like Rave Parties put on by different groups for$$$..they WEREN'T the Olympics.
Jack Mehan And did you not HEAR Benny say Bruce was the best? Are you disrespecting Benny's opinion? Benny's a fighter,yet even he says Bruce was the best.( In real fighting) so you shit on Benny too!
another real fighter confirmed Bruce is real. That makes him and Gene Labelle, Chuck, Joe Lewis, Jim Kelly, The Gracies, Dan Inosanto..and many of today's MMA stars. Yet there are still Bruce haters saying Bruce is not a fighter, never compete in any fight, just an actor, started as a child actor, etc.. So bunch of keyboard and keypad warriors knows better than these real fighters and martial artist??
yeah...that 'seagal pooped' thing never happened. Several people that was on the set that day confirmed it as a make believe. While i agree on seagall being an asshole with co-workers, i do think making that story is not a wise thing to do.
Most of in your list are either under the payroll of Bruce Lee family or just paying respect to Bruce Lee for bringing martial arts to hollywood. Which paved the way for more interested people to do Martial Arts. None of them said Bruce Lee was a legitimate fighter. He was athletic but none of them said, he'd beat the shit out of anybody. The ones you listed would fuck up Bruce Lee anyway. Gene Lebell already did btw
How good it is to see someone who competed at a high level, one of the greatest in history, speaking so highly about BRUCE LEE, idol of all of us, thank you very much, Master Benny Urquidez, for this moment!! 💯🙏☯
I have the utmost respect for Benny. This is the real deal: Top Star. Top Unarmed Martial Artist. Top Instructor. Huge Charisma, fantastic generosity, humility,and strength of character. Long may you go on, Sir.
I never said that he did. Neither did Pheng Vang. Straw man argument. People who actually DID fight in tournaments and back in Bruce's day and had the chance to spar with him had respect for his fighting skill. ua-cam.com/video/ncMIQS0ZLSY/v-deo.html I don't think these people were liars. Not every skilled martial artist chooses the tournament route.
You may not understand what a straw man argument is. Pheng Vang didn't say Bruce Lee was the best fighter ever. That said the only way to know if fighter A could beat fighter B is if fighter A and fighter B fought or if fighter A beat someone who beat fighter B. Was Bruce Lee unproven in professional fighting? Yep. No argument. Does that mean that anyone who fought professionally could have beaten him? Maybe. Maybe not. Who knows? As for your argument that "fighting is not sparring" well sport fighting is not fighting either. Had Bruce gotten involved in point sparring, which was the main type of contest in the U.S. before he helped Joe Lewis invent American kickboxing, how would that have proven anything more than sparring? Rhetorical question. Bruce didn't like the restrictions of point sparring and wasn't a superfan even of "full contact." Sadly he was dead before MMA. But again, who knows? As for Tiger Woods golf coach, if Tiger said "He beat me in practice golf" I wouldn't dismiss that as not real golf.
@@johndrake5467 ok sure... if you call what they said "lots of respect".... he was mainly talking about himself with a passing word on a demo bruce lee did.... but sure, ok.
Bruce had no interest in karate point fighting. Proper full contact didn't even come to America until after he was dead. Benny is a legend in his own right, but dissing Bruce is idiotic. There are far too many elite boxers, elite mma fighters and elite martial artists who idolize the guy. If he wanted to be a world champion, he would have been. 4 and a bit movies made in the 70s and they are still making documentaries about him. Wake up, Bruce was the real deal.
those mma fighters and other athletes never sparred nor saw him sparring so wouldnt know anything about his ability.They are referring to his philosophy and legacy,we cannot talk about someones fighting ability when they never fought anyone legitimate.Full contact kickboxing was in america from the late 60s.
bruce lee is real, naysayers want to test it, people who know and test bruce lee knows he is real, naysayers doubt ? go get sting by hornet, do people experience hornet sting hurt, doubter dont believe then get yourself sting
Thats a rap i take Benny very serious he has fought everyone he traveled the 🌎 he could easily say Bruce was trash and u would atleast have to respect his opinion so for him to say he was the best and he saw his energy he felt his power just from his presence this is the real deal. Thank u Benny much love
he didn't actually say shit about bruce lee.... only a cultist would take so much out of what he said... he was mainly talking about himself... damn you lee cultists.
Mr Urquidez was the first martial artist that I studied under when I was 17. When I say study I mean a book. It was called Training and Fighting skills. I analyzed everything in that book and it was a treasure too me, it changed my life, sent me down a better path as I was a troubled youth. Sadly it was lost over time , I had so many foot notes entered in it. I later moved on to a host of other styles to complete my training. Many years later almost 36 I had forgotton how much influence his book had on me ( I never once watched a video of him ). Now I stumbled on a video of him and it is a tho I have known him my entire life. If anyone reads this and knows him please tell him Thank you. His book set a course in my life like a boat finally finding wind to sail..........Thank you, Mr Urquidez.
When you have professionals talk about how fast and powerful Bruce Lee is after they trained with him , then people should take notice when someone else say he was a fake . R.I.P. Mr. Bruce Lee ( Dragon forever )
@@cuzz63 Bullshit. You need to read up on Joe Lewis comments about the man. Far cry from what you state. You don't know shit about Bruce Lee or Joe Lewis.
I always thought Benny was a pretty scary guy. So scary that in my thoughts I had doubts if Bruce could beat him. But after hearing how much respect he had for Bruce I realized it didn't matter who was better in my mind. Benny respects Bruce. That's good enough for me. And I really liked Benny after that. As great as Benny is he's got class and humility. A real martial artist would never speak against his hero. Martial Arts isn't just about skills. It's also about honor and respect. I think Benny's a real nice guy. Especially when he talks to kids and tells them good things about Bruce.
keith vitali told in a interview that during the shooting of jackie chan's wheels on meals in france (or is it yugoslavia..i forgot) if there wasnt any scene for them that day.. Benny would asked him to wander arround the city. They would walk in every dojos they could find and challenge everybody. It was Benny that did the fight. Keith was there just to accompany Benny. Kieth said "benny was so tough..he beat everybody in those dojos..". This man is a very tough guy. Period...
Benny Urquidez is a true champ, who fought in real fights all over the world, you don't need to think up some unbelievable stories to prove he is real. "Wheels on Meals" was filmed in Barcelona (Spain) by the way.
I remember back in the early 70's, I was 15, watching a friend compete in the Kata competition at The Orange Coast College tournament. In walk, the Urquidez's brother's (Including Benny). They were beyond awesome! What a great bunch of Martial Arts Brother's!
Benny got me into boxing as I went from point fighting into Kick boxing (PKA) I got beat by a boxer in sparring and decided to purse boxing and became a Golden Glove Champion.
I have met Benny the jet as a teenager in pacific fair, Queensland gold coast Australia, i remember him shopping and he had a big suitcase, i walked right up to him bowed and shook his hand, i think that he was a little surprised that a kid in Australia was a fan and recognized him, also shaking his hand felt like shaking a large rough tree branch 😂i instantly thought wow warrior hands. Thank you Sensi Benny for taking the time to greet a fan 😊😂
I love this man Beni he’s giving he’s respect for Bruce Lee Beni the jet I can listing your interview all the day I make sure that you are ready great fighter who come to ring with no doubt to fight Bruce Lee was very strong ahead of his time I think he said Bruce Lee was real deal
Benny Urquidez is one of the greatest fighters. We admire your work. I hope to meet you personally one day. We always remember it. Greetings from Chile.
How humble from a guy lkike Benny Urquidez to say that Bruce Lee was the best. Mrs. Urquidez became among the best. Sifu Lee was certainly a great martial arts man that achieved great deeds in a relatively short time. I heard Jeff Speakman say that Ed Parker was the Einstein of martial arts to him. I feel the same way about Bruce. So maybe Bruce was a Isaac Newton... you know great innovators. But Bruce physical prowess were unbelievable. I achieve many of them, but I never was able to do that one inch punch Benny talks about. I like to hear stuff like that from old timers that knew Bruce Lee, because without making Bruce Lee a myth, he was, I think a great man and that in one's martial artist path of learning we should at one time explore a bit of his philosophy on fighting hand to hand. It is like a classic now that you should not miss.
One of the producers of enter the dragon Paul heller clearly stated that realistically bruce was the best of all of the other fighters. He went on to say bruce was incredibly fast and had timing also reflexes he defied anyone to match to this day. Fred weintraub advised bruce when challenged to fight them after the film was completed. Ian Robinson uk.
Love both these men. Bennie use to come into our Dojo in the 60s with Alex Chavez. I thought he was a super hero as a kid. Many years later Macado was a Ref for my son as a teen. He was so cool with him at 14 fighting adults. God bless you guys, many generations of fighters to come.
Wow. This Story is very spirituell to me. Seeing the high level of Energie of a Fighter. There are always mysticle experiences around real martial Artists. Not many like to talk about it in puplik. Thanks fore this inspiring Story from real man of martial Art.
I love the Machado family. All their lineage and students.the fact that these masters have taken the time to say kind words about bruce is so beautiful. .if he was alive..and was Brandon..they would be right by your side.for master urquidez I always refer to one of best fight scenes of all time ..with Jackie chan.the swinging hook kick blowing out candles.at my kenpo school we would rent those on VHS. I would sit in middle splits and watch all of the jet's tapes.and of course the epic ground system of my brother's the Machado's brilliant submission systems.💯🔥🥋😊 bruce is smiling from heaven
Thank you for sharing this video!!!!!! That’s amazing video!!!!!!! two legends talk about the greatest legend of all times and peoples sent by the Almighty, Bruce Lee !!!
God for all of the talk about Lee fighting these current, pampered superstars, Him fighting Benny? That would have been incredible... and both great sports /pure connoisseurs of the Arts
I never ever pay attention to the Bruce Lee haters and the MMA newbies alwaya saying Bruce Lee was just an actor...but if you have guys like Benny the Jet and Rigan Machado Saying Bruce Lee was the real Deal...I’ll take their as well as Joe Lewis, Chuck Norris, Mike Stone, and Louis Delgado over some kid in a Tap our or Afdliction T short saying Bruce Lee wasn’t shit. Oh and let’s not forget Anderson Silva , Connor McGreogor and the PRESIDENT of the UFC Dana White giving Bruce lee his props.
Wow. Just imagine looking over your division and seeing chuck norris and joe lewis and knowing you have to fight them and being 14 on top of it. Much respect sensei urquidez.
The reason why I even decided to subscribe to your Channel right now bud is actually because I just actually really badly want to learn how to do this stuff peropley and how to do a proper jab and even an proper upper cut wich I have actually learned from you Sir so thank you so much Sir much definite respect Sir so definitely keep it comen out man and definitely keep doing brand new videos so that I can definitely continue to learn brand new things Sir that I just actually want to learn way more about this topic Sir
The Tao of jkd pg117-123 has double/single leg takedowns, heelhooks, armlocks, chokes, the Twister, judo throws/trips. It's striking/grappling/wrestling, literally MMA 20 years before UFC 1
that's not what he said.... you people will see anything, no matter how benign.... he never said a word about bruce lee being the "real thing"..... he mostly talked about himself.
Daniel listen I never said he said that.I know that Bruce Lee was the real thing because I met Richard Bustillo personally,he was one of Bruce Lee’s very first students,and I know Jessie Glover was Bruce Lee’s first student in Seattle
@@TaiChiQi bro.... come on man..... first off... what do you mean by the real thing? great philosophy, absolutely.... charismatic, without a doubt... great fighter, totally doubtful. great martial artist, absolutely. lemme just tell you.... people's students.... worship them 99 percent of the time... even today, even in little towns with small town instructors. so saying his students said something, is de facto not allowed as evidence. ALL evidence... common sense... point to a good martial artist... with a focus on the artist aspect.
Benny your a cool dude 😎 bro.... I can listen to Benny all day but I'm sure he'll give me a jumping turning back kick ,or something out the door haha.... A very humble guy. I've seen other martial artists docos but watching this gentleman, wow.... And talking about energy? I know of that energy and it's awesome. Hehehe Is Benny still with us in 2019? Does anyone know? Coz I'm gonna watch more of him 👍💪🤜🤛👌
After all of these years I just Google Benny's age and realized that he's 65 years old. I got into boxing via attempted to get into PKA Kick boxing after point fighting and became a Golden Glove boxing Champion. Thanks Benny for the inspiration.
For one of the greatest to say Bruce was the best then every hater must STFU and bow down to the GOAT Bruce Lee . He didn’t say Chuck Norris or Joe Lewis or Mike Stone. Once again, he said, Bruce Lee.
@@cuzz63oh yeah, of course he didn’t you’re right - you got me there. Bruce was a ballerina all his life not a martial artist or as you say Fighter . STFU
@@Daniel-yo5es he said he felt Bruce's energy was like that of a giant. Real fighters just know...bruce had a incredible aura about him...face it... He's the real deal. Stop hating.
@@burningknuckle26 so place a battery near your hand and you can tell if its charged? Wow is that your superpower? Maybe you can teach that to electricians so they dont get shocked.
When Benny The Jet says Bruce was the BEST. Than It SEALED THE DEAL 4 LIFE. And all these Haters can OFFICIALLY SHUT THE F#CK UP. He wasn't "Just an Actor."He can Beat ANYONE on the Street. He was the Baddest Dude that EVER WALKED the Planet.
To answer the question of people saying that Bruce Lee is for real as a fighter but he never actually fought the answer is simple. Anybody who is great at a sport and sees someone with talent for whatever it is they do and say that person is real can't really know unless that person gets into the ring so to speak. There have been unbelievably great golfers that nobody ever heard of but we're thought of to be great. Tennis the same. It only means something if you actually compete at the highest level and succeed. Bruce was awesome in front of the camera. That is where he shined let it be.
Yes, I saw a guy on the local basketball court running rings around the other local guys and knew he was NBA caliber until the college hoopsters showed up. Benny hero worshipped Bruce, he saw a demo as a kid and never saw Bruce actually fight.

His respect for Bruce makes people respect him
Bruce was certainly the real deal but so is Benny! A great martial artist and a lovely person.
real deal in what? He wasnt a proven fighter.
He's right about Bruce having "a huge energy". If you look at his movies or his pictures, you can always sense this incredibly powerful aura radiating from him..
Right on Bruh💪
On screen persona...cultivated over years of being on screen.
Benny The Jet is one of the greatest martial artist of all time.
Probably the most proven one during his era.
+Jack Mehan genius, there was no full contact at the time!!
Jack Mehan Bruce fought everyday..in the kwoon you dumbfuck..those "competitions" were various SEPERATE private businesses trying to make a buck off the martial artists ,who were TRYING to make a name for themselves to open a dojo..these money making "competitions" did not represent the whole martial arts world but we're like Rave Parties put on by different groups for$$$..they WEREN'T the Olympics.
Jack Mehan And did you not HEAR Benny say Bruce was the best? Are you disrespecting Benny's opinion? Benny's a fighter,yet even he says Bruce was the best.( In real fighting) so you shit on Benny too!
Hell yeah.
I will always hold the highest respect for Benny. He has one of the best fighting records but speaks with no ego.
Hes so humble its insane
He's the anti Seagal lol
another real fighter confirmed Bruce is real. That makes him and Gene Labelle, Chuck, Joe Lewis, Jim Kelly, The Gracies, Dan Inosanto..and many of today's MMA stars. Yet there are still Bruce haters saying Bruce is not a fighter, never compete in any fight, just an actor, started as a child actor, etc.. So bunch of keyboard and keypad warriors knows better than these real fighters and martial artist??
brogo ram take Gene LeBell off that list, he's out there talking shit and trying to profit of BL's name
Johnny Kool i thought i read somewhere he praised BL.. (and my friend was like "bs!..back then he talk bad things about BL and now....?")
Chuck Norris threw lots of subliminal diss in his words... take him out the list
yeah...that 'seagal pooped' thing never happened. Several people that was on the set that day confirmed it as a make believe. While i agree on seagall being an asshole with co-workers, i do think making that story is not a wise thing to do.

I have immeasurable respect for Benny "The Jet", a true warrior.
Maurice Daugherty Awesome dude. Super positive.
I have the utmost respect for Benny. This is the real deal: Top Star. Top Unarmed Martial Artist. Top Instructor. Huge Charisma, fantastic generosity, humility,and strength of character.
Long may you go on, Sir.
Why is someone not making a movie about this great man!! I’m sure he had a hell of an adventure in his life!
Yip and Dan Inosanto.
Liberate666A1 Who is so Fast!!??? He has to play again himself
A movie should be made about him. Benny the Jet is a legend
Machados are cool. No egos, just cool confidence. Much more relaxed than the Gracies.
Depends on which Gracies.
Rey T Rickson is relaxed, I think Renzo is the wild one.
rener and ryron are chill, and they r not overweigh
Benny the jet a lovely guy and honest
indywannabbee
Without Bruce lee, there might never have been a Benny the jet?
Benny's is dope 💯🔥🔥🥋❤😊

2 great fight scenes
to be honest I love Bruce and he's my hero but that Jackie and Benny fight scene is better.

saw him do a demo..

I agree, Benny was as tough as they came back in those days. I also liked Keith Vitali, it's cool to see people still mention him in comments.
Benny Urquidez is a true champ, who fought in real fights all over the world, you don't need to think up some unbelievable stories to prove he is real.

God for all of the talk about Lee fighting these current, pampered superstars, Him fighting Benny? That would have been incredible... and both great sports /pure connoisseurs of the Arts
Justa Bowler That would have been epic.
benny is one of the greatest.
I never ever pay attention to the Bruce Lee haters and the MMA newbies alwaya saying Bruce Lee was just an actor...but if you have guys like Benny the Jet and Rigan Machado Saying Bruce Lee was the real Deal...I’ll take their as well as Joe Lewis, Chuck Norris, Mike Stone, and Louis Delgado over some kid in a Tap our or Afdliction T short saying Bruce Lee wasn’t shit. Oh and let’s not forget Anderson Silva , Connor McGreogor and the PRESIDENT of the UFC Dana White giving Bruce lee his props.
you are the man. Much love to the legend bruce lee. fingers through the metal plate!
Wow. Just imagine looking over your division and seeing chuck norris and joe lewis and knowing you have to fight them and being 14 on top of it. Much respect sensei urquidez.
when the goat says Bruce was his hero, that is next level.
Benny is such a nice guy his energy is just so happy always

What a great guy. Could listen to him all day
Bruce Lee was the best he give hes credit to Bruce Lee all the best fighter said Bruce Lee even ufc president dana white said Bruce Lee was the best
This man has some amazing stories.
Benny is my hero. He is such a humble guy and his combat skills is incredible!
The Tao of jkd pg117-123 has double/single leg takedowns, heelhooks, armlocks, chokes, the Twister, judo throws/trips. It's striking/grappling/wrestling, literally MMA 20 years before UFC 1
Way before 20 years. Bruce was already well versed in Judo and Gongfu in the early 60s.
@@AztecUnshaven well versed?...lol hardly. he couldnt even make it look good with choreography.
Great guy!
I met Benny last year and he was phenomenal.and yes for all those armchair Bruce Lee haters out there,you see Bruce Lee was the real thing man.
that's not what he said.... you people will see anything, no matter how benign.... he never said a word about bruce lee being the "real thing"..... he mostly talked about himself.
Daniel listen I never said he said that.I know that Bruce Lee was the real thing because I met Richard Bustillo personally,he was one of Bruce Lee’s very first students,and I know Jessie Glover was Bruce Lee’s first student in Seattle
@@TaiChiQi bro.... come on man..... first off... what do you mean by the real thing? great philosophy, absolutely.... charismatic, without a doubt... great fighter, totally doubtful. great martial artist, absolutely. lemme just tell you.... people's students.... worship them 99 percent of the time... even today, even in little towns with small town instructors. so saying his students said something, is de facto not allowed as evidence. ALL evidence... common sense... point to a good martial artist... with a focus on the artist aspect.
Benny your a cool dude 😎 bro.... I can listen to Benny all day but I'm sure he'll give me a jumping turning back kick ,or something out the door haha....
A very humble guy. I've seen other martial artists docos but watching this gentleman, wow.... And talking about energy? I know of that energy and it's awesome. Hehehe
Is Benny still with us in 2019? Does anyone know? Coz I'm gonna watch more of him 👍💪🤜🤛👌
Amazing interview!
Benny on bruce.:" Until now, he was thé best". Only a Real fighter Can recognize another Real fighter.
he didnt mean best fighter.
Benny the Jet and Bruce and Jackie my fav : Respect Osu
Another proof of the silliness of Bruce Lee's detractors. Just wonderful share.
proof? Benny hero worshipped Bruce after seeing a demo when he was a kid..
Wow, incredible story.
can listen to Benny talk all day.......
¡¡ Grande y humilde Benny Urquidez !!
Talent recognises talent👍
After all of these years I just Google Benny's age and realized that he's 65 years old. I got into boxing via attempted to get into PKA Kick boxing after point fighting and became a Golden Glove boxing Champion. Thanks Benny for the inspiration.
My most favorite movie fighting scene ever watched was Benny the Jet sparring with Jacky Chan.
What a legend! Thanks
For one of the greatest to say Bruce was the best then every hater must STFU and bow down to the GOAT Bruce Lee . He didn’t say Chuck Norris or Joe Lewis or Mike Stone. Once again, he said, Bruce Lee.
he didnt mean fighter.
@@cuzz63oh yeah, of course he didn’t you’re right - you got me there. Bruce was a ballerina all his life not a martial artist or as you say Fighter . STFU
Bruclee the best. King of martial arts
What a great guy Benny!
Rigan is dope😊😊😊!
Benny you are a truly wonderful person.
He is so excited even now my goodness how he might have felt then??
wow. benny is a real fighter...he knows bruce was the real deal
that's not what he said..... you only heard what you wanted to hear.
@@Daniel-yo5es he said he felt Bruce's energy was like that of a giant. Real fighters just know...bruce had a incredible aura about him...face it... He's the real deal. Stop hating.
from a demo? lol
@cuzz63 yea you can sense energy💯
@@burningknuckle26 so place a battery near your hand and you can tell if its charged? Wow is that your superpower? Maybe you can teach that to electricians so they dont get shocked.
if Benny "The Jet tells you bruce lee was the best you better believe it man !!!
He didnt mean fighter.
Omg Benny actually saw Lee.
I believe Benny recruited Judo Gene Lebell to learn to grapple and to fight a Gracie (Rigans cousins). One of the best kickboxers of all time.
Such a great person to be around with
Amazing guy and this man master at martial arts says Bruce Lee was the real deal
based on?
Almost like a myth when some legend talks about Bruce lee
except since Benny was a real fighter its more believable.
I didn't know he was a fan. Now I can reference BRUCE LEE naysayers to take their futile argument to Benny.
When Benny The Jet says Bruce was the BEST. Than It SEALED THE DEAL 4 LIFE. And all these Haters can OFFICIALLY SHUT THE F#CK UP. He wasn't "Just an Actor."He can Beat ANYONE on the Street. He was the Baddest Dude that EVER WALKED the Planet.
he didnt mean fighter.
To answer the question of people saying that Bruce Lee is for real as a fighter but he never actually fought the answer is simple. Anybody who is great at a sport and sees someone with talent for whatever it is they do and say that person is real can't really know unless that person gets into the ring so to speak. There have been unbelievably great golfers that nobody ever heard of but we're thought of to be great. Tennis the same. It only means something if you actually compete at the highest level and succeed. Bruce was awesome in front of the camera. That is where he shined let it be.
Yes, I saw a guy on the local basketball court running rings around the other local guys and knew he was NBA caliber until the college hoopsters showed up. Benny hero worshipped Bruce, he saw a demo as a kid and never saw Bruce actually fight.
