Description
On the latest episode of the Piestrong Podcast, we sit down with a true pioneer of combat sports, Benny “The Jet” Urquidez.
A six-time world champion across five weight divisions, Benny built an extraordinary legacy in kickboxing and full-contact karate, becoming one of the most respected figures in martial arts history long before the UFC brought MMA into the mainstream.
We chat about his legendary career, his time in Australia, his influence on generations of fighters and some spiritual learnings along the way. We also discuss his upcoming documentary featuring Keanu Reeves, exploring the life and legacy of one of martial arts’ all-time greats.
From the golden era of full-contact fighting to his impact on modern combat sports, this is a conversation with a man who helped pave the way for the sport we know today.
