I was a point contact fighter and Benny The Jet got me interested in PKA Kick boxing. I get beat up by boxer crossing into kick boxing. That experience led me to study boxing and I became a Golden Glove Champion.
I did a seminar with Benny. He was such a well spoken, gentle, spiritual and humble person. Such a Legend. Even at his age, his strength, speed and technique was amazing. His knowledge and teaching style is fantastic. I was so impressed in only just that meeting. If he taught in Australia, i would definitely be a student. Dan Inosanto.. I really hope to meet one day. He's a living martial art encyclopedia. A true scholar of the combative arts. A legend beyond his ties to Bruce Lee.
Wow what a great video, I could listen to these two masters talk all day long. It is not everyday you get the opportunity to hear these kinds of stories from Martial Arts legends who are so loved and respected. I love the six "S" teaching, which is what one needs to be a champion. 1) Strength, 2) Speed, 3) Stamina, 4) Skill, 5) Strategy and 6) Spirt. As Guru Dan Inosanto said, Benny the Jet has all six! That is for sure Sensei Benny is a true warrior! I love seeing what respect they have for each other. Thank you for capturing this historic moment and thanks for sharing on RUclips!
Two wonderful Martial Artists reminiscing. Awesome video. Proof positive that the fighting arts are for the betterment of the human condition. What wonderful people. Salute
i know im asking the wrong place but does any of you know of a tool to get back into an instagram account? I was stupid lost my login password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me
@Ian Jadiel I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and Im trying it out atm. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Mr. Urquidez is the BEST kick boxer America has ever produced. He had beaten the best kick boxers (Muay Thai rules) in Japan in the 70's and 80's. He was also a LEGEND in Thailand.
Gentlemans your generation and particulary your group gave martial arts for the rest of us includin ofcoz we later generations. Its a pity we youngers dont ever get to witness those ground bracking moments where you evolved the arts to suit modern day. It is priceless that you do at least these conversations where we get to hear your insights and your memories. Hurrah to you sensei benny and danny and thank you
precious walk back among giants of Martial Arts....proud to know who these men were back in the day (for me it was in the 70's in New Zealand!) and lovely to see nothings changed.
I've always refered to 3 persons of martial arts, Bruce lee, Benny and Dan Innosanto. Watching this 2 masters chat is so great. These are the kind i would seek advice on martial arts.
Two of the actual GOATs...now to dipshit whispering near the mic...shut up and let us listen. These two men are treasures of the martial arts world an have helped a lot of people within even the action movie genre over the years.
Inosa tos kissing 80 here and he's still training. What an inspiration. And he still has all his marbles. As for Benny, he's my hero. The first time I saw him fight was when he fought Dana Goodson. I was so impressed that this little guy could beat up this big guy it made me wanna study karate.
I love these two dudes! They helped pave the way for what is now called MMA. Bruce Lee's philosophy was to keep learning by studying "Multiple Martial Arts" today's MMA and not get caught up in any particular style..
They both were training in Kenpo under Ed Parker back before he brought in Bruce Lee. Dan was teaching Benny then. I was a student of Ed Parker and Joe Lewis.
He was relentless. Such a combination of toughness and skill. Pure pleasure to watch. And luckily, he's super intelligent and insightful. He's a true Sensei with his ability to communicate what his skills consisted of.
it's really odd to see that these people grew up with no internet and the world seemed a treasure chest where there always something new to explore.....the exposure to knowledge in this age has really changed everything
Benny Urquidez, probably the greatest proven all round kickboxer using any rules, the world produced. But also, one of the greatest gentlemen around in the martial arts.
I think Bruce would have loved to had met Benny just imagine that, benny was a great fan of Bruce lee and like many other legendary pro,s believes bruce was the best.
Yes, two legends! But Dan Inosanto was overshadowed by his Master Bruce Lee. Benny the Jet Urquidez, I believe is d greatest Western kickboxer of all time.
How the hell could you get two guys like this together and NOT mic both of them....Awesome video but just sayin' this is like once in a lifetime and I want to hear their every word without distortion/echo...lol...thanks for the upload just the same
I couldn't agree more with Dan. Benny would have been a force to be rekon with if he would have been Born when UFC came around. No doubt about it. In addition Don Wilson would have also been up there with Benny have they competed in UFC.
Terrific footage to have found and see. Hearing Benny and Dan tell us how it was before the UFC. Benny looked like he lost a lot of weight. Was he sick or just older? Don't know how old he was in this video. Dan said he was 79 here. Hasn't changed that much. Pretty much the same build. I liked how they were very respectful of each other. That they weren't prima donnas. Benny was also very gracious. Saying how DI "inspired him". Which I think was a stretch. Just being a good guy. While Dan Innosanta is a very accomplished "martial artist"...Benny I think is the total package. Great martial artist but with actual ring experience. Winning kickboxing fights anywhere. Meeting any one. And winning. There's things you can only learn in the ring. Don't need to be a fighter to know that. And they're both humble.
As i know benny was really experienced and dangerous fighter because he fought professionally and won matches of the world in comparison with fathers of mma...
Je trouvais que Benny était l'un des meilleurs combattant après bien sûr Bruce Lee largement devant Chuck Norris car son karaté était et tjrs aussi puissant celui de Chuck il y avait des règles et des arbitres Bruce et Benny se sont bcp battu en combat de rue les vrais combats
5:41 and yet 20 years before ufc 1 the tao of jkd has striking/grappling/wrestling. Just like with modern mma, Lee describes a well rounded fighter, mixing styles
@@cuzz63 yes but it wasnt the norm in America and china at that time. If you wanna get picky the Spartans and other greeks, were well rounded fighters thousands of years ago; with ancient Pankration...still took MMA years of fighting in a cage to figure that out for themselves
@@stephanwatson7902 yes but Kajukenbo was around before Bruce ever left HK and Bruce was aware of it. Not sure what popularity has to do with the argument though since that wasnt my argument.
When I was growing up, Bruce Lee and Benny Urquidez were my heros. I am happy to see Benny passing on his art and his skills to the younger generation. At 5:17, Benny mentions the Gracies coming in and challenging everybody, Gene, myself, everybody. I wonder if he accepted the challenge and if there is any footage. That would have been a really interesting video. Also, off topic, I was sitting in the Detroit Aiport and I saw Guru Inosanto getting off the plane and was thrilled just to have seen him. Then I tapped the guy next to me and said, "Hey, that's Dan Inosanto!" and they guy said, "Who?" All I could do was sigh.
Benny went back and forth about fighting Royce but would never commit. Would have been interesting but he was alot older, maybe he should have fought Rorion.
I have taken a few workshops with Guro Dan always an inspiration .Also followed the Jet he was knocking folks out! At 61 with bad hip I still bang and roll,keeping the skills sharp lol!
Two genuine tough guys.
But underneath they're actually super nice and gentlemen's.
Other way around
You can be a gentleman when you can kick everybody’s address
It's really geat to know Dan Inosanto and Benny Urquedes still doing great i was a fan of both of them God bless and keep it comin'
I was a point contact fighter and Benny The Jet got me interested in PKA Kick boxing. I get beat up by boxer crossing into kick boxing. That experience led me to study boxing and I became a Golden Glove Champion.
@Robert Green Then he woke up!
I love the interaction between these guys. Both so humble and respectful of each other. Thank you for sharing this.

my only regret is I COULD ONLY LIKE THIS ONCE!
Two wonderful Martial Artists reminiscing. Awesome video. Proof positive that the fighting arts are for the betterment of the human condition. What wonderful people. Salute
Benny you are a totally sane person very rare in fighters no ego or show off, you are spiritual warriors
2 respected and admired Legends. Its an honor and a treat to hear them tell their stories. Both of their lives would make great movies.
The jet is so respectful of Dan...calling him Sensei.
i know im asking the wrong place but does any of you know of a tool to get back into an instagram account?
I was stupid lost my login password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me
@Santana Mordechai instablaster =)
@Ian Jadiel I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and Im trying it out atm.

@Ian Jadiel It did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thank you so much, you saved my ass !
@Santana Mordechai No problem :D
wise and humble masters 😊
Benny and Dan two of my greatest heroes.I love them.
Mr. Urquidez is the BEST kick boxer America has ever produced. He had beaten the best kick boxers (Muay Thai rules) in Japan in the 70's and 80's. He was also a LEGEND in Thailand.
This WAS a great conversation. Thanks for posting! Like he said in the end they talked about not that they heard or read, but what they've DONE!
Gentlemans your generation and particulary your group gave martial arts for the rest of us includin ofcoz we later generations. Its a pity we youngers dont ever get to witness those ground bracking moments where you evolved the arts to suit modern day. It is priceless that you do at least these conversations where we get to hear your insights and your memories. Hurrah to you sensei benny and danny and thank you
A conversation between the two greatest legends. awesome👊👊👊
thank you for this sensei. people must never forget if they want to move on!!.
Both legends.... Jet, an absolute warrior....⚔️
precious walk back among giants of Martial Arts....proud to know who these men were back in the day (for me it was in the 70's in New Zealand!) and lovely to see nothings changed.
I've always refered to 3 persons of martial arts, Bruce lee, Benny and Dan Innosanto. Watching this 2 masters chat is so great. These are the kind i would seek advice on martial arts.
Two legends in the same room! I wish I had been there to listen to them in real life. Great video.
The six s's is a great perspective. I have shared this with many folks. Thanks so very much for sharing!
These guys are true masters, very humble about their skills and very respectful towards each other in their compliments.
Two truly greats in the world of martial arts. Very class acts as well. Thanks so much for sharing!
Fascinating interview. Excellent job.
Two of the actual GOATs...now to dipshit whispering near the mic...shut up and let us listen. These two men are treasures of the martial arts world an have helped a lot of people within even the action movie genre over the years.
Love listening to these two exemplary gentlemen. Their respect is refreshing. Would love to hear more!
Sooo Awesome to see 2 Live Legends in Martial Arts and have a conversation and show so much Respect for each other.
Fist Bump, Gentlemen. Thank you for your marvelous contributions.
Inosa tos kissing 80 here and he's still training. What an inspiration. And he still has all his marbles.
As for Benny, he's my hero. The first time I saw him fight was when he fought Dana Goodson. I was so impressed that this little guy could beat up this big guy it made me wanna study karate.
You could how tell much respect Dan had for Benny as fighter
It would be hard not to, if your honest :)
Nice talk between two legends.
Benny is a cool guy!
I love these two dudes! They helped pave the way for what is now called MMA. Bruce Lee's philosophy was to keep learning by studying "Multiple Martial Arts" today's MMA and not get caught up in any particular style..
They both were training in Kenpo under Ed Parker back before he brought in Bruce Lee. Dan was teaching Benny then. I was a student of Ed Parker and Joe Lewis.
You're super lucky...
You know I never noticed until recently but, damn, Benny is a GREAT interviewer. I think he missed his calling as a post-fight career commentator.
Benny the Jet to me was the Roberto Duran of contact Karate.......amazing fighter....wow.
He was relentless. Such a combination of toughness and skill. Pure pleasure to watch. And luckily, he's super intelligent and insightful. He's a true Sensei with his ability to communicate what his skills consisted of.
These are two of the GOATs!
it's really odd to see that these people grew up with no internet and the world seemed a treasure chest where there always something new to explore.....the exposure to knowledge in this age has really changed everything
Two greats...such humility....Respect!! and I just heard Guru Dan say "I am 79 now"!!!
Beautiful Music Rockon
2 of the kindest and down to earth people , real masters!!! God bless both of you sifu Inosantos and Sensei Urquidez!!!
Two legends!! Bruce Lee, forever!!
Benny Urquidez, probably the greatest proven all round kickboxer using any rules, the world produced. But also, one of the greatest gentlemen around in the martial arts.
Superfoot!!!
Met Sifu Dan Inosanto and Sifu Benny a few times and they’re both brilliant men and incredible teachers and trailblazers 🙏
I think Bruce would have loved to had met Benny just imagine that, benny was a great fan of Bruce lee and like many other legendary pro,s believes bruce was the best.
Two absolute legends in martial arts 👊💫⚡️💥
Good to see Uncle Dan and Uncle Benny kicking it!!! A lot wisdom there youngsters.......SUCK IT UP!!!!!
79 may God bless you with more years.
Love this conversation and these legends
Total Respect, two LEGENDS in differing ways, Brill chat.
🙌 May God bless all of you
Yes, two legends! But Dan Inosanto was overshadowed by his Master Bruce Lee. Benny the Jet Urquidez, I believe is d greatest Western kickboxer of all time.
Well done Benny and Guru dan. I have had the honour of training with dan three times in Australia
Thanks, what an inspiring discussion!
Need a better camera man never heard one talk during an interview before that's rude but good and an awesome video
Nice comparison I agree.
agreed.Complete noob sitting by the camera whispering
Video guy is an idiot talking while recording common sense donkey! Your whispering is loud and clear 🤦🏻♂️
Wonderful thanks for sharing
I can't say which one is my favorite between those 2 legends.
How the hell could you get two guys like this together and NOT mic both of them....Awesome video but just sayin' this is like once in a lifetime and I want to hear their every word without distortion/echo...lol...thanks for the upload just the same
2 of the best!!
Two great men. Respect...
Osu Both ...Benny the jet is my fav ! Learn much from him style ,Osu .thanks for the video
I couldn't agree more with Dan. Benny would have been a force to be rekon with if he would have been Born when UFC came around. No doubt about it. In addition Don Wilson would have also been up there with Benny have they competed in UFC.
Joe Lewis would have been a monster too .
I think Bill Wallace would have done extremely well too. He was a fantastic kickboxer who had wrestling and Judo in his background.
Two of my heroes
Missed u Bruce!
Oh man, two of the great men in American martial arts.
Terrific footage to have found and see. Hearing Benny and Dan tell us how it was before the UFC.

Man... Love these guys
How could 11 people dislike this? Obviously they do not embody any of the principles discussed here.
Great conversation, where is the rest of it? Which muppet kept talking into the mic whilst legends were being filmed!!
Lol……”I actually thought the guys name was Muy Thai that I was fighting “ classic 😂
Alguém coloca legenda por favor
legends. period.
You know a guy is a badass when his shoes are practically spotless, brand new and yet the soles are completely worn down flat.
We need a 3 hour podcast with these guys and hq audio. Put them on Joe Rogan!
Fariborz, Dude You BRING IT ! Thank You !
As i know benny was really experienced and dangerous fighter because he fought professionally and won matches of the world in comparison with fathers of mma...
INOSANTO EL GRAN AMIGO Y ALUMNO DE BRUCE LEE. URQUIDES UN HUMANO MUY NOBLE Y GRAN PELEADOR Y ADMIRADOR DEL LEGENDARIO BRUCE LEE.
learnt a few gems from both these guys videos back in my JKD days
this channel is awesome
LEGENDS - The Warrior and The Master Sifu
Je trouvais que Benny était l'un des meilleurs combattant après bien sûr Bruce Lee largement devant Chuck Norris car son karaté était et tjrs aussi puissant celui de Chuck il y avait des règles et des arbitres Bruce et Benny se sont bcp battu en combat de rue les vrais combats
Now this guy was a real champion fighter.
Benny the jet was the best, he was a champion in five different weight divisions
5:41 and yet 20 years before ufc 1 the tao of jkd has striking/grappling/wrestling. Just like with modern mma, Lee describes a well rounded fighter, mixing styles
Years before JKD, fighters were already training to be well rounded.
@@cuzz63 yes but it wasnt the norm in America and china at that time. If you wanna get picky the Spartans and other greeks, were well rounded fighters thousands of years ago; with ancient Pankration...still took MMA years of fighting in a cage to figure that out for themselves
@@stephanwatson7902 yes but Kajukenbo was around before Bruce ever left HK and Bruce was aware of it. Not sure what popularity has to do with the argument though since that wasnt my argument.
@@stephanwatson7902 many Martial Artists back in those days often trained in Karate and Judo. This is a fact.
What year was this ?
Benny is talkative in real life but when he plays the evil henchman he is always silent
When I was growing up, Bruce Lee and Benny Urquidez were my heros. I am happy to see Benny passing on his art and his skills to the younger generation.

dude the 60ies and 70ies mustve been a helluva ride ...
Great video
Yeah...This is GOLD.
What a cool couple of guys.
You know how Benny is so good? ALL those fights in his life time and he still has all his pearly whites 😁😁😁
Wow !!..👍
Divide between competitive and traditional martial artists. Where have I heard that before? 🤔
Benny coon experiencia de lucha.y dam solo como maestro
10:50 I like those 6 s philosophy: speed, strenght, stamina, strategy, skills and spirit!
Whats the whispering about?...
I have taken a few workshops with Guro Dan always an inspiration .Also followed the Jet he was knocking folks out! At 61 with bad hip I still bang and roll,keeping the skills sharp lol!
richdome1 Dan was my teacher..for your hip try proloZONE injections robertrowenmd channel..
