Building up a combination with “Benny the jet”

BennyTheJetBenny “the jet” Urquidez is one of the true legends of kickboxing with a great fighting record.   I bumped into this video of his and within minutes I got hooked and I had to see its end.  He starts from some basic posture and foot work essentials and builds up a combination which is fast, effective and elegant.  In this case each next step is relying on a particular reaction from the opponent for the combination to work.

For some reasons the embedding of this video is disabled so you can see it by following this link.

When I see various masters and experts demonstrating a combination I often notice small differences between the details they teach and how I would demonstrate the same technique; some time foot work is slightly different, posture is different and the angle at which techniques are delivered are different.  In this video I like to say that all I have seen and heard is perfectly in line with what I would say and demonstrate.

An important point I would like make here is how much I appreciate the wealth of detail that goes into the explanation of the boxing combination at the beginning; this is pure boxing technique explained by a martial artist, in martial arts terms.
