How to do a proper "Uppercut" by Benny Urquidez

[@leatherneck7857]

Was Darth Vader recording this video?!

[@chuckycruzy1]

Ha ha ha, you just made my day!!!! 🤣🤣🤣

[@leatherneck7857]

[@thetedmang]

1977 when style-vs-style was becoming popular, Benny (full-contact karate/kickboxing champ) was asked if he would take a fight against Muay Thai. He responded, "yeah, I'll fight him." He didn't discover until much later that Muay Thai was a style, not a dude. The names weren't the only thing that was unclear, so were the rules. Benny didn't agree to Muay Thai low-kicks and head-clinches/knees so once he started receiving them, he retaliated by tossing Kiatbandit around with judo hip tosses. The crowd started getting very upset and the few people who were there to support Benny The Jet (including Chuck Norris) started getting fired up as well. Then someone in the crowd (with a death wish apparently) attacked Chuck Norris. Norris hit him back and the crowd broke into a full-on riot. True story.

[@jimmynix5399]

That'd make a great 30 for 30 on ESPN.

[@armentumhominum9931]

lmao, great comment

[@lilsuga771]

WTF! 🤣

[@lionsinofprideescanor8709]

Hell let loose that very day eh? Damn R.I.P to the random dude who decide to attack Chuck Norris lol

[@brick532]

Cool story I believe it

[@chrisgibson5803]

Watched loads of technique training and this is by far the best. Short and straight to the point. He didn’t try and spin a 15 minute video out of it.

[@soggyrice02]

Man - Glad Benny is still around.

[@deller5924]

The greatest Sensei ever!

[@lordgargamel4124]

Yo. The guy recording needs to back up. I swear hes breathin on me.

[@dochvtech22]

Look up -Gene Kim -Robert breaker

[@sawwasher9039]

Hahahaha

[@vincentcorleone4951]

septum deviation probably. same here with me. in every video record xD

[@NickFlores_Music]

On god 😂😂

[@MuhammadAli-kv5oe]

Your stoned

[@peterward2275]

This series is magnificent. Learning a lot about Benny's technique and style.

[@a.c.a.c.6152]

I like the break down of the punches that Benny gives. I wish the camera man would have focused on his feet too when executing the punches especially the left uppercut. Thumbs up!

[@bluehavencd]

you make a perfect argument there. A proper offensive or defensive hit not only involves upper body motions, but lower ones as well, the base is key to any move.

[@dopedrums]

Give the guy a break, he's obviously Zzzleeping.

[@jeffjunge7663]

I don't know of a more qualified martial artist to teach technique. This guy was absolutely amazing in his prime. Just so fun to watch. He just destroyed his opponents

[@brick532]

Have you seen any videos on KZbin of his fights?

[@LFOVCF]

15 keyboard warrior clowns thumbing down one of the most accomplished fighters, EVER! LAUGHABLE.

[@spsmonktoo]

You're damn right!!

[@jamescampbell2521]

Ya , Benny would like to have a little ring time with them.

[@adamfreeman2348]

Yes. Dick heads

[@theswampfox9584]

Benny the Jet ! Loved watching him back in the day

[@speed6725]

These videos are great! Very valuable information coming from a legend! Thank you for posting them!

[@butchp1384]

Damn, you can tell those hands have hit some things pretty damn hard.

[@user-oj3eo4xv7m]

Benny the Jet …..the GOAT!

[@MattDube]

The hands and wrists of a lifetime fighter.

[@julianchavez456]

Definitely a higher caliber fighter. He's clearly broke both hands before, and his breakdown is so easy to follow. A great teacher of the arts. Respect!

[@Polish2317]

Living legend, and great guy, don't agree with some of this but he is tested and 2on most of time. Never throw uppercut above your nose height.....the only Never in fighting is not turning your back, other then that, fighting will always make you do what you never where supposed to, never practice to consciously stop a punch, it stops momentum and takes longer to bring back. Always punch threw.

[@thomasmoore3769]

Sounds like you've had some experience hitting pads or bags when you should learn how to sit down and punch through on your strikes. Doesn't apply in actual fights. Punching through everytime will make vulnerable to counters and you will gas out quickly. You also can open yourself up defensively, especially when you punch through with an uppercut. Perhaps you should listen to the pro, instead of going off gut feelings or what you think is true.

[@upsndownbro8497]

Lemme guess you learnt this through your many years of street fighting?

[@upsndownbro8497]

I can think of many reasons you can turn your back to your opponent in a fight. For example, when someone has mounted you or is on side control and punching up you from above, you can turtle up and turn your back against him to protect yourself and also to hopefully get in a better position.

[@AjaychinuShah]

Wow, don't need to interrogate him to find out if sincerity is any question. Just self-evident and confidence

[@flowrepins6663]

Benny is a beast If in lived in USA I would go to his gym to get some training

[@bizkits]

Thank you very much. This was very useful information.

[@brick532]

This guy is a legend. He occasionally visits my sensei’s karate studio (they are friends) and one day if I get the chance I want to train with him in a class.

[@samuelcampos8967]

Take notes , been training for years , but Benny the legend “JET” breaks it down in simple incremental steps...let all these sink in !

[@earlmorton6265]

It's was we got at the end.

[@Ilethsamael]

IT is shocking how streamlined his info is. Bare bones and pure effectiveness. I bet everyone with a bit of body awareness can replicate his techniques.

[@yancydulin6674]

Cool. . . Just hearing about Benny today, impressive record 👍

[@FlowerhornTroy]

He was in some good movies. Hes fukin bad ass

[@Anfmethodjor]

Great breakdown.

[@John-zh6ld]

Benny is still the Man!

[@leezucker2529]

Yeah!

[@liveclassictunes]

Thanks Benny... I'm a big fan of your carving style

[@pawel23467]

Damn Benny is good.

[@christophnachname3223]

This guy would fit right in the Baki the grappler universe

[@couchwarrior2449]

Words of wisdom from the Master.

[@leezucker2529]

Your very good at explaining ...thanks

[@t12acK45]

LEGEND! Thank you for sharing.

[@johnbergeron3486]

Wow free Knowledge from a world champion thank you Benny

[@uberuberexperience5578]

Benny "the great".p4p during his time. so many classic fights

[@TheJunImaginer]

when master Benny slowly clenching and twisting his fist, bruuuh I had my life flashing before my eyes.

[@Germanv99]

Admiro mucho su trabajo. Saludos a él y a su equipo desde CHILE.

[@АндрейЛиванчук-н8я]

Benny super star!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@victorrobles8545]

Love this sifu !!

[@larrythomas6543]

when this guy speaks we all better listen

[@everdash]

Two questions from a rookie: 1.) Why do you turn your first at the end and not earlier? What's the purpose/benefit? 2.) Why don't you go above your nose? It's that a torque issue?

[@amrak-8401]

Wow! Thank you for the education sir.🙏

[@steelpir8schannel854]

Dang! Look at his hands 👊. I would not want to get punched in the face with those at all. But if you saw him on the street and didnt know who he was, you wouldnt ever think he could probably kill you with a combo.

[@Will-sh8kl]

A legend!

[@nigelmccure6640]

And same thing here with your uppercuts because do I ever learn how to do it myself much better than what exactly I have always done before because this is exactly why I even decided to subscribe to your Channel right beforehand Benny much definitely appreciated thanx Sir just always keep this comin right now Sir so that I can definitely learn brand new things so that just actually in case I just end up in a fight it will definitely not end up very well for my opponent because he will definitely be knocked out on the ground and then I will definitely be walking away from himself laughing my ass off at himself about it bud

[@boleboskovic869]

The Legend, respect!!!

[@gaelbgalbar9307]

Thanks Benny.

[@TheCornBanana]

I appreciate it Jet

[@TeaAndCoffe]

thank you Mr. Pro

[@AromiErotici]

Benny has major league calcium deposits in those bricks that he calls hands. The back of his hands drop almost an inch straight down into his wrists. Years and years of banging. Even as an old guy, there's no doubt he could still KO many young bucks if they were stupid enough to engage him.

[@haimerabdelhak3375]

the legend ..... benny THE JET

[@brick532]

“And my hand would never go higher than my nose” Me: but what if the opponent is taller than me

[@nishanth3458]

Thank you.

[@MrLouladakis]

thank you sensei i believe it is great to show small information to us inlightning.

[@TriggaPleas]

Does he have many more of these vids? I can only find the ball kick one but would love to see the whole of his arsenal.

[@louisjwiese5515]

Those short compact punching styles... Just know he is a fighter.

[@leonardzapata5753]

seria um sonho treinar com este mestre simplesmente um dos melhores do mundo tem meu respeito .

[@aztec999999]

What an awesome guy

[@stephenfreeman2207]

The real deal. Awesome form. Benny don't waste no time and needs no intro

[@koustavghoshpwe]

legend

[@elit3physique]

This is how exactly word for word how your mom talks to you when you get bad grades

[@hayabusa190]

Nate Robinson needs u sir!

[@rocklookalike]

Curious, why does his hands look like that? Years of fighting, broken? I'm learning more about this guy, awesome fighter though

[@eljefe5536]

Thank you Sir

[@keithervin700]

Legend

[@Nicolas__-js1jm]

Thank you :)

[@user-ev3sh4ln4z]

Thank you sir.

[@gabrielegasparini5779]

Thanks master

[@MiguelReyes-sg5gd]

Thank u for sharing

[@jinbuu415]

I always thought for upper cut you basically try to hit the ceiling not sarcastically but to apply the force as upward as possible

[@lucabusato6784]

What's up with the breathing in the background? Did Tony Sopranos film this vid?

[@maxwelljacobs961]

If you never raise the fist above yr nose, but the other guy's chin is higher than yr own nose, wat do?

[@JerryDaBes]

Drink milk Get tall

[@rockyoz300]

SHORYUKEN！

[@humdae6738]

Thank you legend!

[@fabian13333]

Thank you ser

[@gabrieljohannson6777]

This guy will seriously fuck you up.

[@bmwmaniac1]

Is that..is that the hit man from gross point blank..?

[@georgekondylis6723]

Guys a legend, but this is not a standard method of a boxing uppercut. Rising up doesn’t happen. Instead a seesawing motion with rear foot dropping down.

[@MrHero1976]

Legend!

[@zaini5150uk]

Nice

[@jrgd9083]

Benny bout to uppercut my ass with this view! Sick!👍

[@I.Odnamra]

What about a tiger uppercut?

[@Dous88]

Looks like he could be Valentina Shevchenkos dad

[@KayKay-mf4pq]

What if your already dropped in your 6in stance squareing up would you drop another 6in

[@frankfrega1302]

Never go higher than your nose why? So you don't get stuck in a defenseless position with your arm up in the air. This guy is the real deal

[@tommyjoyce7394]

Benny the big fan of Israel.

[@overkill_716]

Man, those hands are all kinds of messed up. I have similar boxer fractures, but hes got a whole extra row of knuckles right above his wrist.

[@clearcombatselfdefenseandf6302]

Benny is what Bruce Lee should have been. Bruce needed just about a half dozen fights to be considered legit. Many questions about Bruce being an elite fighter.

[@boogienightsmarkwahlberg6011]

Yes, and yes. I argue with soooo many Bruceheads and Chuckheads about this. No doubt they were talented, but they cannot now and did not then prove how good they could have been. Benny did and did :). Man the more I watch about this guy the more I am enamored with him.

[@clearcombatselfdefenseandf6302]

Bruce was the best in action films no doubt and was a hell of a street fighter, but not at Benny's level. People want to believe what they see in the movies.

[@patrickbarruga6759]

yes. I agree also.benny is a real legend of martial arts for me...not bruce lee...

[@MrSsfsfsf]

Full contact karate was just barely getting going in 1980; but that time, Bruce would have been 40 years old.

[@PeachBran]

Bruce lee- roy

[@terothehero8538]

youre awesome

[@deanwinchester6496]

learned from the experts..

[@jony-b-good9757]

Darth Vader recording

[@ardenfamily]

how do you practice on a heavy bag?

[@NinjaWarriorDude416]

How about your feet? Turning?

[@ricardocastillo5485]

Lotta people don't know what a legend this guy is.

[@twotimetony78]

Facts

[@ydr624]

This guy looks like the poorly fed version of *Gordon Ramsay*

[@boja8975]

Ryu n Ken have been doing their uppercuts all wrong smh

[@donniedrizzle]

God help those who get punched by Benny's fist 😵

[@conormoran5466]

I want what he's taking

[@gfweis]

I've never seen the first, or lower, knuckle on thumbs protrude the way Benny's do. Does anyone know if that is somehow the result of training, or is it just a genetic thing?

[@kalekold]

This is the effect of repeatedly punching people in the face for about 40+ years, lol.

[@thefightisalwaysfixed8890]

Genetic.. I have it all my life.. It could be calcification.. Where repeatedly breaking down the honeycomb structure of the bones by punching and rebuilding new harder layers.. But I've never seen it on the side of the thumb. Could be wrong.. Benny is a beast.. That dude probably doing press ups with his fingernails

[@gunner3548]

Start doing pushups on your knuckles on concrete, bricks or stone tiles on all four and you will see the results after a few weeks. Keep doing it for years and you will develop enormous caluses that will protect your knuckles and do serious damage when you punch.

[@couchwarrior2449]

It's from breaking his hands and fingers on opponents heads and faces. RECOGNIZE....!!!!!

[@آينشتاين-ذ1د]

His face reminded me an actor..

[@benaldo138]

He was an actor.

[@ukaszzib3819]

TY SEN SEI how your bones are so hard? can you show me training for muscles and to make fast my body and strong?
