Watching an old martial arts movie Martial Law on bluray. It has a fight with Cynthia Rothrock by Benny Urquidez so just got me thinking whether his Jet centre is still up and running ?
 
Pretty sure the Jet Center been closed for like 10 years
 
He teaches at hayastan academy which his owned by gokor chivichiyan. Gene lebell is there as well.
 
The Jet Center was destroyed in the Northridge earthquake back in the mid 1990's. They had no insurance, so it was a total loss.
 
And yet Rousey chose Edmond as her coach!?!

This has utterly baffled me as well because Ronda mentions how amazing Gokor is and that some trainers ( Edmond) were ignoring her and not giving her the time of day. Yet she finally goes to Edmond anyways...

 
The Jet was amazing. I think he retired undefeated.

 
Benny was awesome. He's been pretty busy in Hollywood movies over the past 20 years.
 
He got stabbed by John Cusack with a pen and his body was burned in a high school basement boiler.
 
Would have loved to train under him at the jet center way back. He was always one of my personal favorite fighters.
 
Does anyone know if Sensei Benny still teaches in any academies or seminars
