I met him a few days ago at team karate woodland hills ca because I was interested in the kick boxing program but really can't afford it right now. I didn't know that much about him till I went home that night and searched him on Google I couldn't fucking believe that I had the privilege to spend 45 minutes talking to him and he showed me so much kindness and respect when I am just an average joe Such a martial arts legend and I didn't even know. Had I known who he was I don't think I could left the dojo that night. What a man !
You were so fortune by accident to have spent time with a legend int he full-contact MA world. He was the best lightweight world champion. On the same level as a Chuck Norris, Joe lewis, Bill "superfoot" Wallace. He was the REAL DEAL...who happens to be willing to teach. There are so many ex-professional fighters who don't bother. If we could learn fight techniques from any one it should be from some one that's actually "been there done that". Benny was a WORLD champion. :) The man has skills that work and he's proven. Not just one of many talkers. The breakdown of basic kickboxing movies here...shows us how "untouchable" a full-contact fighter really is. (VS someone in-experienced or even trained as a traditional MA...you see where all traditional MA care coming from...their punches and kicks...it's usually telegraphed. Kickboxing, boxing (western), Muay Thai are full-contact arts designed for real full-on combat. This is why I think some MMA fights are fixed...when you know one fighter has boxing training. Or started from a boxing training (e.g. Holly Holm)...and then loses to an MMA fighter. Most MMA fighters spread themselves too thin...learn a bit of this and that..."jack of all trades master of none". Even if these people don't compete or never join a kickboxing gym...they came away with moves that work. If they practice it.
Benny is still the man. This brings back memories. I remember like yesterday, when I used to look at articles and pictures from him and Pete "Sugarfoot" Cunningham. BOTH of those guys were (and are) fast. People like them, Fariborz, Manfredi & Parulski, Tommy Tulleners, He Il Cho, Douglas Wong, Bill "Superfoot" Wallace, Ron Howard, Steve Sanders, and MANY OTHERS really don't get the respect they deserve TODAY for their invaluable contributions to the World of Martial Arts.
A real technical lesson by a master who learned by experience.An innovator in martial arts. A man who put many rungs on the ladder of martial arts evolution.
Ive got great great respect for this man. No bullshit like many tutoral doing all kind of fantasy moves. This is simple to understand and great knowledge, even though its very basic. You can not hear knowledge enough in my opinion.
I'm not curious in beating people, but each time I enjoy the beauty of the movement and intellegence of this man. Rays of respect, Benny. You're a true living legend.
The hammer and chisel will make you twizzle then drizzle. These students are so fortunate to have The Jet teach them from his wealth of knowledge and experience. They will learn more than just fighting, they will learn about respect and knowledge of self from this master trainer. Back in the 80s, my Kung Fu teacher always mentioned Benny Urquidez as the pinnacle of kickboxing as an art form as well as a ring fighter. Like Benny, he too was a traditional, disciplined martial artist who was always humble and respectful towards everybody. In competition, or sparring, the speed, power, timing, accuracy and control were phenomenal.
Complete explanation of the details on what to do, how to do it, and WHY it is being done. The hammer and chissel makes it so clear that Sensei has such a mastery of the physics behind the strikes. Can't wait to get on The Mat to work on them. Thank you Sensei.
Its funny to see such a legend fighter teaching few kids .if you see his ring fights he was a killing machine !also a great stuntman and actor fighting in multiple martial arts movie with jackie chan such awesome movies !
Benny #1 I've been into boxing and kick boxing for decades, no one explains key fundamentals like Benny, I especially noted the transition he mentioned from body-shot to uppercut, I've always brought my arm back after a body shot, not anymore, great tip from Benny.
100% rather hit in the face then body if I had a choice. Benny an absolute legend. Look at his footwork, movement. power and speed. You can see he doesnt think. Just moves and feels.
I believe The Jet lost one fight on a technicality in what seems like an endless bout of challenges. I have been binge watching his fights with my eyes bugging out. I cannot believe how he dismantles his opponents. One particular fight ended with him throwing this guy over his shoulder following standing kicks. He is an amazing full contact martial artist with renewed respect from yours truly. Imagine telling yourself, "Oh yeah, Benny wins this one too." Over and over and over.
@pious predecessor ..... a number of World Champs in KickBoxing have come out of his Camp (The Jet Center) He has issues with the character, personal discipline & behavior that is to often common with MMA ... and as such does not train any. It’s unfortunate as he would have lots to contribute. One of my Brothers trained with Benny back in the 70’s & says he’s the Best Coach he’s ever worked with

Benny #1
I've been into boxing and
kick boxing for decades, no one
explains key fundamentals like Benny,
I especially noted the transition he mentioned
from body-shot to uppercut, I've always brought
my arm back after a body shot, not anymore, great
tip from Benny.
100% rather hit in the face then body if I had a choice.
Benny an absolute legend. Look at his footwork, movement. power and speed. You can see he doesnt think. Just moves and feels.
Same principal as splitting wood with a axe and turning as you connect. throwing the wood away from itself.
Listen up as you Move, Walk only on a Right path
Clean Body Soul and Even the Unity that you hath
He is so dangerous talking than he does showing it bro.. He is a Legend... 😎👍
he is the real life ken masters
this is gold ;-)
I love this man
Discovered him today both as a legend fighter and a teacher. Lucky me
What a legend I can just hear him talk forever so much knowledge and a real MA in every sense of the word not just some bullshido artist!!!
This guy is an Excellent instructor!
great guy
Wow. What a privilege to be in that room.
Thank you very much!
Beautiful
Thank you Sensei
You best Thank you

how lucky they are, they are tought by a legend.
Watch the fight between Benny and Kunimatsu Okao. Amazing!
wow that's nuts.
Thanks for showing this to the average Joe I don’t have the time nor the money
His truly a master my idols
Gives so much explanation.. seems like a great teacher
Many experts can fight but few can also teach well; fewer yet have such a big heart as Benny.
Legend!! Oss
I came here by the way of Scott Adkins and I ain’t complaining.
hey sir do you happen to have the fight beween Benny vs Demetrius Havanas
Very good
Serious pro
I wonder if these kids know how lucky they are
Legend that’s all I can say
My training is in kickboxing. One of the things I learned was this: a good ass-whipping is like a good meal...it stays with you.
0:00 Combinations/carving.
if you are that close (for the last punch), it's easier to use your elbow.. :)
😉
Benny is the very best. Always will be. Much better than chuck norris
Ussssss
Here in 2023
Does he work with any professional fighters?
@pious predecessor ..... a number of World Champs in KickBoxing have come out of his Camp (The Jet Center) He has issues with the character, personal discipline & behavior that is to often common with MMA ... and as such does not train any. It’s unfortunate as he would have lots to contribute. One of my Brothers trained with Benny back in the 70’s & says he’s the Best Coach he’s ever worked with
Older... Now.
Its cliche I know but those hands I want no part of🥴😵🤕
It is joke. If you see full muaythai.

Thank you Sensei
