Benny The Jet was born in 1952 in Los Angeles. He was the second
youngest in a family of nine. His father was a professional boxer and
his mother a professional wrestler and the rest of his tale is left for
the history books to tell. Sixty three world titles and fighting in five
weight divisions, Benny has accomplished everything a fighter could ever
dream of and more. Starting his martial arts study at the age of eight,
receiving his black belt at fourteen, and voted in 1978 by Black Belt
Magazine as the Best Fighter that year and placed in the magazines Hall
of Fame. In 2004, The Jet is as strong, fast, and inspiring as ever.
Benny Urquidez radiates a rare energy which is the force behind his
unique " fighting style", with his legendary "Jump Spinning Back Kick",
nicknamed "The Jet" by his peers after witnessing the speed and accuracy
of his lethal kick.
Benny Urquidez was reared in a natural athletic environment, passed on
through generations of his Black Foot Indian and Spanish ancestry. His
Mother was a Professional Wrestler, his Father was a Professional Boxer;
and his siblings are all Black Belts. At the tender age of five he was
competing in "Pee Wee Boxing" events at the Olympic Auditorium in Los
Angeles. Since then he has earned Black Belts in nine (9) different
styles of Martial Arts, and trained in many other styles. "The Jet"
trained with his mentor and brother Arnold Urquidez, Bill Ruiyisaki, Ed
Parker and many legendary Martial Art Masters.
He was encouraged to test for his Black Belt at the young age of 14.
Indeed an accomplishment rarely awarded and recognized by well-respected
Martial Art Masters. Immediately he competed and was undefeated in the
Adult Black Belt division. His unique style has won him every major
international tournament, a dream for the most accomplished of fighters.
At that time he chose to pioneer Full Contact Karate, instead of
becoming a pro boxer, and the rest is history. In 1974 Benny "The Jet",
introduced to the US what is known as Full Contact Karate or American
Kickboxing.

out of retirement in 1993 at the age of 42, he again demonstrated his
unique fighting style, defeating Yoshihisa Tagami the 25-year-old
Japanese World Welterweight Champion to win the World Light Middle
Weight Championship. "The Jet" is the longest reigning World Champion of
all Professional Sports in history.
"The Jet" is retired from the ring; and has devoted time to his acting,
and movie career. His specialty is training actors for fight scenes;

discards the inferior techniques and applies only what works to The
UKIDOKAN System.
