Awesome... I remember hanging with sensei maybe 20 years ago. A group from the Shoshone tribe were training under his tutelage. One Shoshone father was looking at his son train and turned to sensei and said, “Maybe he can be the first Native American kick boxing champion.” Sensei looked at him and replied “That will never happen.” The father with a surprised look asked “why?” To which sensei replied “Because I was the first Native American kickboxing champion.” 😂....
I did that with all the ninjutsu guys. I'm too go e only white guy to be an actual Shinobi. The rest are just TMA and soldiers. I am the head of a historical clan... 2 technically and my whole life was dedicated to Shinobido. These others are weekend warrior 🪖 or milbrat types. I attained my place do to spiritual birthright and traditions most do not know. I have even learned Apache and Navajo warrior/ shamanism I'm a skinwalker. I learned Hawaiian and Siberian shapeshifter shamanism as well. They are all very similar. I'm the shadow man 😂 no seriously. Iemoto of Sasaki-Rokkaku clans and Shinobido. This Omi and koga Shinobido a d 5th degree in Bujinkan as well. I infiltrated the Bujinkan as a child and was handed my blackbelt by Prather himself. He took off his belt and gave it to me. Later I gave it back. I was tested for 5th degree 2x a d was affirmed by Brendan and Todd. I successfully caused a rift of spiritual and political differences. To this day I am waging psychological warfare against far rightwing conspiracy within Takamatsu-den. I've survived assassination plots and turned 1 of their agents against the organization. I have Great respect for Masaaki Hatsumi Soke. I was heartbroken to hear of his wife's passing. I must say though he was quite the unfaithful husband to her and now he feels the pain of his actions. His secrets are now public notice. I promise those who follow his lead may do even more self harm. Same for Prather. He is not only a rape denialist but he himself is a child of child rape by an American soldier. He's very dangerous to America.
It's rare to see such a great fighter be an equally amazing instructor. His tireless attention to detail, patience and thirst to pass on his vast knowledge, shows that he really cares about this class and every person in the room. A perfect example of what a true Master of the martial Arts should be!
He's at that point from being a prime fighter to being a prime master. He has that pure experience and wisdom that masters get when they are older to pass down to the younger generations.
He is also giving all the information. A fighter also needs to know how to find his way without being told every single detail and figure it out themselves so you develope the instict and can react when soemone is trying to end you.
Benny is such an amazing person. Back in 1984, pop warner football with his nephew for the san fernando braves. Back then, and it still may be the same today, before each game, you had to weigh in. There was a weight maximum you could be in order to play. I missed the weight 2 weeks in a row by something like 3 pounds. Somehow, not sure how, but benny caught wind of this. The next day at practice, the kid I played with told his uncle Benny about me and my weight cutting issues. Benny told him to invite me down to the jet center and he would help me drop the weight free of charge. Well I had never heard of him (hell I was 7 yrs old), but my dad was a HUGE fan of his. he night we went down and Benny himself spent weeks working with me to drop the weight. We even gloved up and went a couple rounds. So gracious he was/is. I memory I will never forget.
When you watch Benny's fight scenes with Jackie Chan in "Wheels on Meals" (1984), his raw power is undeniably evident. Most people look at Urquidez's 1984 physique (and he was undeniably in superb physical condition) and ascribe it to that alone. It takes a more practised eye to see that most of the power in his movements comes from his superb mastery of even the minutiae of the technical aspects of fighting.
Structure, measure, and positioning are all key. The strongest arm in the world can be magnified by a ton if the entire body is going into delivering the blow (or block). One hip shift is MASSIVE when compared to a jab with zero shift or zero pivot.
I always think of that time he extinguished the candles with that spinning kick against Jackie Chan in Wheels On Meals that wasn't a camera trick. The Jet has a spinning hook kick like a tornado.
That was the coolest technique. I remember our martial arts teacher teaching us that with our fists...damn it was tough as hell. Yet, here is Benny easily doing it with a kick alone.
So that's where I watched this guy. Knew I had seen him before, when this strangely enough was in my recommended list. Always good to experience great teachers, whatever the subject may be.
@regular_dude they were gonna fight but it just never happened with the amount of work Jackie was doing . They went from meals on wheels into dragons forever but Jackie was doing to many projects.
I met Benny in line while getting food at a local pizza parlor about 10 years ago one random day for lunch. He was right behind me and the guy behind him got impatient and said “keep it moving buddy” to him. I had to do a double take and make sure it was him. I said to the big mouth “That’s Benny the jet, you better check you tube”. Guy looks at his phone for 30 seconds and looks back up and says “my bad” with nervous stare. Benny smiled at me and I said “my father used to show me all your fights as a kid”, I asked if we can take a pic together so I could show my old man and he graciously did a fisted selfie with me. Very humble and nice legendary champion.
Don't forget great action star. I just realized he played the crazy assassin in Grosse Pointe Blank. I loved that movie. "It is I... Sydney Feldman." Love that scene so much.
Benny has been on this since jump . If you are young or new to the arts, just put his name in any search engine and you will see. This man didn't just talk it. Everything he teaches, he has done, and done it WELL. He was MMA waaaaay before it even had a name. Well, it did i guess, it was just called fighting.
finally martial arts that you can rely on, use on the street and not worry if it is going to work, because it is short, sharp, scientific, practical but yet awesome!
A real life, authentic, master. I could listen to him teach for hours. His arms, hands, and legs have such a stiff and heavily coordinated movement when he strikes and weaves. Very impressive 💯
My Sensei told me about this guy...I didn't think what he said was true. Then I watched a lot of his fights on YT and have been mesmerized. I cannot believe how amazing his fights were. A true fighter and a man who actually gives meaning to the word ARTIST in martial arts. Then, to see him still teaching...I would say that he "still got it", but I would be afraid that is insulting as he would probably smash my face before I could think about what I did wrong lol :)
@@superstrangevideo If you want to compare Benny to todays fighters then you should give Benny todays training, that way you are comparing fighter to fighter, and not fighter to available training. If this is the case Ill still take Benny, as there are somethings you cannot train. Toughness, killer instinct, fearlessness. This is the same argument with Mike Tyson. I would bet anything that if Mike trained in MMA instead of boxing, he would be the MMA goat. Its the fighter, not necessarily the style.
As a boxer this gentleman explained everything in perfect manner. Every detail and tiny nuance with precise and handful demonstration. I mean it’s great and simple. Man I wish he would be my boxing coach
U can Anything is Possible make it happen save up your money and go see him and let him train you you can do anything you want this world how long you put your mind into it
That is maybe the BEST PART about Sensei Benny... it's ONE thing to be... The Best. THE best... it's another thing entirely... to be an excellent INSTRUCTOR. A teacher. an inspiration. Being excellent at both... that's not common. Not common in the least. Two completely different skill sets. Like... IDK... engineering and... painting. :)
That was a fantastic breakdown of a rather complex combo. There aren't enough trainers out there who can explain the reason behind every move so poignantly. But hey, can't expect anything less of a legendary champ like Benny, he's one of the all-time greats! :-)
The way he demonstrates and explains, he instantly makes sense and you understand what he says and what he shows. He has this ability to say the same words to a group, but also make it relative to each of their understanding. That's a very rare talent.
This man's principals in combat body mechanics is amazing; no movement is wasted, and transitions are smooth; the delivery is grounded in continuous torque; therein lies the secret to his speed and power. And his teaching style is basic, easy to follow, but undeniably effective. This supports the following: it's not the system that makes the fighter, nor the fighter that makes the system; it's the person's grasp, and application of principles that makes a formidable fighter. What a great post; thank you.
Benny is the last of the Budo warriors. In his day, those that fought also taught the next generation of fighters. Today, fighters fight for themselves and don't give anything back. They fight for ego.
I wouldn't say that is true. But not everyone's a teacher and some of today's fighters can retire with 29... I do not agree with the tone of other comments above.
Please before you call kenpo/kempo jitsu ineffective please examine this man's record and some of his fights. This man was a beast in the ring and I have seen him do some amazing things in the ring. His kicks and strikes were awesome to behold. OSS and respect for this living legend
He's an outlier. Until we see many high level kenpo/kempo fighters in kickboxing and MMA, it makes sense to think it's not a reliably useful fighting art.
@@M3Lucky Lots of Benny ass lickers here. He was good in the ring, at kickboxing, but martial arts has matured since then. MMA fighters today would mangle him.
I wish we had a teacher like that locally where I'm at! Awesome knowledge being shared by a REAL prior professional fighter! Thanks living Legend for the knowledge!
He's the real deal, trust me I know how to fight in tournaments and street, his knowledge is second to none, oh sorry, Super foot Wallace might say this a little differently!!😃
I wish I was his student when I used to live in L.A. 1980s. I wonder when he stated his school? I studied at the IMB Academy in Torrance for 5 years. Love it. Now I'm 75 years old but I saw Benny live in Lake Tahoe. He knocked this Canadian fighter out with a backkick and a left hook in 1 minute of the first round.
Gracias Benny por toda la informaciòn de este video yo supe de ti por Dave Mustaine guitarrista de Megadeth aunque vivo muy lejos de California ( Ecuador America de Sur ) la distancia no es un impedimento para aprender tècnicas de defensa personal pues en mi medio es muy necesario porque frecuento conciertos y centros nocturnos donde me encuentro a veces con gente violenta que no estoy libre de que me ataquen y mucho màs si soy una mujer . Necesito estar preparada y màs que todo te agradezco inmensamente la informaciòn que difundes e impartes a la gente que necesita màs que todo para equilibrar nuestro ser, descubrirnos a nosotros mismos querernos y llevar un equilibrio espiritual emocional y personal y gracias a Dave de quièn soy muy fan por haberme hecho saber de ti, pues quiero seguir aprendiendo karate primero y luego kick boxing soy una principiante con muchas ganas de aprender porque me va a servir para toda mi vida y estar siempre preparada y para que no me tomen desprevenida.
I trained at the "jet center" from 1987 to 1993. I was blessed to be rubbing elbows withh so many great fighters. I learned alot, and sensei Benny and Blinky Rodriguez and Rick O'Kane and Jon Spencer and sensie Lilly RIP) had such a hugh influence on me.
Bruce Lee was a fantastic philosopher of the Martial arts. I have no doubt Bruce was a master of the craft. However Sensei Benny has the record to prove his prowess, something unfortunately Bruce lacks...
John Keys your wrong Bruce Lee sparred people all the time and was in street fights that his parents and siblings, wife and friends have talked about. Just because one doesn't fight professionally doesn't mean they can't accumulate effective technique and become a great fighter. Also I think you are attributing Bruce Lee to flowery kung fu which he only ever used in movies and had no place in his effective fighting philosophy
Bruce Lee fought not to win in tournaments etc etc etc he trained for real life fights when it's a matter of life & death when he strikes it's not for points but to take out his opponent as fast as possible! His speed is unbeatable nobody could beat him in that way! Everybody who talks about Bruce has no trophies etc etc etc but he was "THE SENSEI" and was bigger than martial arts! He had so much to share a real legend! They even said... If you've ever been kicked by his sidekick... It had the impact of a car hitting you!
John Keys before you talk about bruce lee you have to get through chuck norris and jackie chan caused their both respect the master before their become famous just like to respect your teacher as a student :) just like how benny is giving respect to his martial arts teacher, caused teacher never compete but still more knowledge in martial arts black belter up to red belter, also with using deadly weapons.
Watched this vid as a brown belt. Then practiced Benny's drills for a week. When sparring with our dojo's 3 degree black belt, he wondered how I got so much better so quickly. A real game changer!
I hope all you YG's out there be paying respects. Listen to what this man says. He was an amazing fighter, AND he can teach that. Not everyone can, it takes a passion to watch your students grow.To knock a man in a fight is one thing, to nurture a student in a classroom is something else entirely. Thank you for sharing Fairborz. Big ups. Peace.
There's some great fighters out there who either can't teach and explain things, or just don't want to. Look at the people in the room, he keeps the energy on and holds everyone's attention. If you're starting to teach in any way this clip is gold.
Great detailed knowledge. Its a privilege to have such a mentor. He should make some choreography in action movies, cause such an amazing experience. Live long Benny.
Benny is the real deal. He competed for more than 20 years, 65 wins, 0 defeats, 57 knock outs. Is there something else anyone can say about this great fighter who is also an amazing person and an excellent teacher. One word: Respect!
Awesome... I remember hanging with sensei maybe 20 years ago. A group from the Shoshone tribe were training under his tutelage.

A true legend! This man was so ahead of his time back when he was in his prime. Nothing but love and respect for the Jet!
Amazing how generous this great fighter is with his knowledge. This is the real deal. Thanks for this amazing video!
The jet is an absolute legend
.... because they are paying him
He's great when choreographing fights in movies shit he made John Cusack look good fighting I forget the movie though

*Grosse Pointe Blank* (1997)
@milk great way of phrasing it. You’re so right.
These fundamentals are nuts! This drill ALONE is going to put my empty hand on another level! I love how he broke it down mid-way through.
Benny is still a very tough guy. It's really refreshing to see what an awesome fellow he is on top of his ring greatness.
amazing how everything is explaines in detail both offensive and defensive moves on the same set of techniques. He is just great
This is a gem of a channel with a living legend passing on knowledge.

Love that spinning side kick while he takes off his suit jacket in one motion.
Yoooooo I was thinking this exact thing while watching this lol
It was so subtle to, they didn't even slow mo it or really bring attention to it. Very good scene.
What a privilege to be taught by the best!
Benny is such a good, humble, and hilarious instructor.
His fight with Jackie alone has made him a welcome to any movie and any seminar man!!!
@regular_dude they were gonna fight but it just never happened with the amount of work Jackie was doing .
They went from meals on wheels into dragons forever but Jackie was doing to many projects.

Sensei Benny is the bomb and... the TRUTH! :)
True. He explains everything perfectly and doesn't miss a detail. Should call him Benny Methodical Jet Urquidez
The footwork and hand positioning were definitely key. Sensei B knew the nuances.
The way he demonstrates and explains, he instantly makes sense and you understand what he says and what he shows. He has this ability to say the same words to a group, but also make it relative to each of their understanding.

the one and all you can talk about is the UFC! HAHA
John Keys before you talk about bruce lee you have to get through chuck norris and jackie chan caused their both respect the master before their become famous just like to respect your teacher as a student :) just like how benny is giving respect to his martial arts teacher, caused teacher never compete but still more knowledge in martial arts black belter up to red belter, also with using deadly weapons.
These guys are lucky to have Benny as a teacher. There are so many out there that don't care about it and ae out for the money.
hard to be an amazing fighter and an amazing teacher. he's so dedicated to them... and so patient
Benny the jet and Jackie Chan was one of the greatest fight scenes in martial arts history.
Such a great teacher! I've admired him since I was a kid and purchased one of his books from Walden's (When that was still around)!
A pleasure watching a true professional teach.
Sensei benny's do is so practical and powerful. It's truly universal. This man taught me the fundamentals of pugilism.
Watched this vid as a brown belt. Then practiced Benny's drills for a week. When sparring with our dojo's 3 degree black belt, he wondered how I got so much better so quickly. A real game changer!
I hope all you YG's out there be paying respects. Listen to what this man says. He was an amazing fighter, AND he can teach that. Not everyone can, it takes a passion to watch your students grow.To knock a man in a fight is one thing, to nurture a student in a classroom is something else entirely. Thank you for sharing Fairborz. Big ups.
Peace.
This man’s highlights are insane
Such an amazing fighter Benny The Jet! Much respect 🙌🏽
What an honor and privilege it would be to be taught by the Champion of Champions. It doesn't get any better than this!
Thank you so much for your wisdom sensei Benny!!!
I love this guy. Easily one of my all time favorite people and fighters.
There's some great fighters out there who either can't teach and explain things, or just don't want to. Look at the people in the room, he keeps the energy on and holds everyone's attention. If you're starting to teach in any way this clip is gold.
To be taught by a superb martial artist like Bennymust be such an experience!
he is so amazing ... his expertise is outstanding
Over all these years he's still a Jet, a great master
We Love Benny.. That was also the name of my first parakeet when I was 5.
So?
Very good teacher!!!!! Much love from london uk 🇬🇧🇺🇸
One of the best ever and my absolute favortie fighter from that full contact karate era
Great detailed knowledge. Its a privilege to have such a mentor. He should make some choreography in action movies, cause such an amazing experience. Live long Benny.
Benny is the real deal. He competed for more than 20 years, 65 wins, 0 defeats, 57 knock outs. Is there something else anyone can say about this great fighter who is also an amazing person and an excellent teacher. One word: Respect!
a legend. I love watching benny the Jet at work. :)
LEGEND! PERIOD!
Benny is a national treasure, love this man, God bless
I pray this man is still in good health and living a good life
I met and talked with Benny before. I knew who he was. But, never realized the level of his knowledge. He is excellent!!! Does teach what he knows
What a legend. These guys are blessed to have the jet training them.
