Proclaimed by many renowned masters to be the greatest pound-for-pound kickboxer of all time, Benny Urquidez was nicknamed "The Jet" because of his explosive spinning back kick. After competing for ten years in non-contact point karate, he pioneered full-contact fighting throughout the world, often fighting in bouts where the rules were ambiguous and contrasts in styles were dramatic. In the 1970s, he won the PKA and WKA World Kickboxing Championships, and then went on to defeat Japan's World Champion. Highlighting his stellar career that spanned two decades, Urquidez came out of semi-retirement at the age of 42 to seal his legendary status by defeating Japan's 25-year-old reigning World Champion. Victorious in six World Championships in five different weight divisions, Benny "The Jet" Urquidez has remained undefeated for 27 years as the longest reigning World Champion ever.

Tom Bleecker began his writing career in 1970 under the mentorship of Oscar winning screenwriter and director Blake Edwards and continued writing television and film for Edwards for 15 years. During that time frame, Bleecker also wrote for actor William Shatner, as well as several major television networks and film studios. After writing for screen and television for 30 years, Bleecker coauthored "The Bruce Lee Story," which was published in July 1988 and used as the foundational material for Universal's feature film DRAGON-and over the next three decades penned 17 books. Bleecker is best known for Warner Brothers' The Jacket starring Academy Award winner Adrian Brody and Keira Knightly and his bestselling biography "Unsettled Matters: the Life and Death of Bruce Lee."
