Pakistan Taekwondo black belt Ahmad Amin Bodla has broken the Guinness World Record for most squat thrusts in one minute with 40 pounds weight on the back.
“I did 23 repetitions while the previous record was 21 by Paddy Douyle of England. It is a great honour for me to make records for my country. I work very hard for these performances. I have achieved a lot of international recognition over the last few years.,” Bodla said, while speaking to APP.
However, Bodla was disappointed that in Pakistan it was difficult to get rewards for these activities. “The priorities of the concerned sports authorities do not facilitate athletes other than cricketers,” he said.
Bodla is also the first Pakistani to be inducted in the US Martial Arts Hall of Fame, courtesy of his 32 world records, including five recognised by the Guinness Book of World Records and one by Germany’s Book of Alternative records.
The 22-year-old has been creating world records of most kicks, knee-strikes, and punches since 2012, and within a year, he became the first Pakistani to break the record of most kicks in three minutes (616) which he improved again (783) in 2013.
He also holds the record of most martial arts kicks in a minute (355), most kicks in an hour (6,970) and most full-contact knee strikes in a minute (79).

Spotlight: Martial arts student destroys walnuts using nunchucks
By Rachel Swatman
Published 16 September 2015

Every week we shine a light on the coolest, wackiest, or most unique records from around the globe recently approved by our Records Management Team with our Spotlight series.
This week’s video is a little nutty - Mujtaba Hassan Mughal has just shattered the record for the Most walnuts smashed with a nunchaku in one minute.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08nELOJ94As
The martial arts student from Pakistan cracked a stunning 97 walnuts in just 60 seconds using a nunchaku, or nunchucks – a potentially dangerous weapon which originated in Japan. As you can see in the video, not all of the nuts were counted as several did not shatter. But thanks to the speed of Mujtaba's attempt, he still achieved an impressive total.

Nunchuck pro Mujtaba exploded the previous record of 62 nuts that was achieved by Samuel Sprague (USA), proving that he is the ultimate walnut-smashing champion.

Walnuts are no match for Ashrita Furman either (pictured below), as he holds the record for the Most walnuts crushed by the hand in one minute with 131, nor Muhammed Rashid from Pakistan, who destroyed 150 nuts to win the title for Most walnuts cracked against the head in one minute.

A Chinese national flag flies as students practice Tai Chi on a high school playground during a Guinness World Record attempt of the largest martial arts display ever.
This attempt took place on Sunday October 18, 2015. It was a hazy day in Jiaozuo, Henan province, China.
The city successfully set the record by organizing over 50,000 residents to practise shadow boxing simultaneously at 15 different locations on Sunday morning, according to reports in local media.
Wow. That's just staggering. Way to go Jiaozuo!Quote:

Around one million people are estimated to have participated in an attempt to set a new Guinness World Record for the largest simultaneous tai chi practise session, organisers claimed.
The global event was organised by Jiaozuo City located in Henan Province, reported the Chinese language Henan Daily.
Jiaozuo which is known as the birthplace of tai chi invited people from more than 50 cities in China and abroad to join the record attempt on October 18.
More than 50,000 people performed tai chi simultaneously in 15 different locations in Jiaozuo itself.
However, it's yet to be confirmed whether the city actually succeeded in creating a new world record.
Organisers are hoping the event will help the Chinese martial art into UNESCO's intangible cultural heritage list.
About 300 million people around the world practice tai chi.

BEIJING - A group of 300 people who cooked four tonnes of fried rice in Yangzhou in the eastern province of Jiangsu have been told that they failed to break the world record because the food had been wasted, confirmed Guinness World Records Ltd. on Monday morning.
"We held back on publicizing the results because we had been reviewing the information submitted by the organizer," Sharon Yang, Guinness Greater China marketing director, told Xinhua.
"The organizer admitted that 150 kilograms of the rice was handled improperly. The products created in any record attempt involving food must be given to people and not wasted. Hereby, we have notified the organizer that the record was revoked," she said.
This decision came after reports that the rice was used as pig feed.
This year is the 2,500th anniversary of Yangzhou City. As part of the celebrations, 300 people last Friday spent four hours cooking 4.19 tonnes of Yangzhou fried rice.
The fried rice, which is flavored with eggs, sea cucumber and other ingredients, reportedly broke the previous record, which had been held by Turkey.
The organizer of the event had said that the fried rice would be distributed to students of four schools.

'Arrow Catcher' snares another world record
Quinn Jones, WWOS
16:00 AEST Thu Nov 12 2015
What happens when a tennis ball is fired at nearly 193kmh?
The 'Arrow Catcher' breaks another Guinness world record.
Australia's highest record-holder Anthony Kelly added another title to his name when his superhuman reflexes set a new mark for 'fastest tennis ball caught'.
Appearing on Today to celebrate Guinness World Record Day, Kelly braved a cannon-like ball machine that shot out the missiles at 200kmh.
Standing 6m from then machine and only with a 0.106 of a second reaction time, Kelly, who is the holder of 40 world records, caught three of eight shots fired down at him, breaking the record with one flying at a speed of 192.9kmh.
The speed of the shots and Kelly's amazing hand-eye coordination drew gasps of astonishment from the Today studio.
"You can't even see it!" Host Karl Stefanovic exclaimed.
However, the record was without its dangers with Kelly forced to suffer a number of painful blows before nabbing the record ball.
Way to go, Anthony! The Coxons too!

Guinness World Record holder Anthony Kelly, of Armidale, wins spear-catching title Nov. 12, 2015, 9:30 p.m.
LIGHTNING FAST: Armidale arrow-catcher Anthony Kelly proved his reflexes were quicker than most, breaking yet another record on Guinness World Record Day yesterday.
A HANDFUL of Aussies, including Armidale’s arrow-catching martial artist Anthony Kelly, have smashed their way into history on Guinness World Record Day.
Australia’s highest record-holder, Mr Kelly has added yet another string to his bow, breaking the record for the fastest tennis ball caught, at the lightning speed of 192.9km/h.
Often referred to as a ninja, Mr Kelly is renowned for his fast reflexes, in particular his ability to catch fast-moving items. He holds the world record for most arrows caught in two minutes, blindfolded.
Last year on Guinness World Record Day, Mr Kelly succeeded in his attempt to break the record for the most spears shot out of a spear gun and caught underwater in one minute.
After three attempts, where he caught eight from eight in two rounds, then 10 from 10, he smashed the world record by three.
Mr Kelly was just part of the global record-smashing attempt, along with fellow martial arts guru Glenn Coxon, who smashed his way through 338 wooden boards in one minute.
While he didn’t break his previous record of 359 boards, set in 2005, the Sydney area resident retains his record-holder status as he created the original record.
Record-breaking is in the family, as Mr Coxon’s daughter Summerly, 27, broke the record for the most wooden boards broken in one minute by a female. She broke a whopping 215, beating the record of 161 boards.
The feat was a personal triumph for the family, as just last year Mr Coxon was diagnosed with advanced and aggressive cancer in his neck and shoulder.
After surgery and radiation, he’s beaten the odds and is determined to give back to those who saved him from becoming another statistic, particularly the team from the Chris O’Brien Lifehouse Cancer Hospital at RPA.
While these three record-breaking attempts were happening at Sydney Olympic Park yesterday, Perth-based HoopFit coach Bree Kirk-Burnnand attempted to set a new world record for most hula hoops spun simultaneously by an individual. The Guinness World Record is 162 hoops at one time and was only recently set.
A skateboard-riding dog in Peru aimed to pass through the longest human tunnel, and a Japanese man sabered as many champagne bottles as he could in 30 seconds. In the UK, the Poms attempted the largest gathering of people dressed as penguins, while the Chinese aimed to create the world’s largest lipstick sculpture.

FEMALE SPORTS STARS CARLI LLOYD, HOLLY HOLM, AND LETICIA BUFONI
SCORE RECORDS IN NEW
GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS 2017 EDITION
New York, NY – October 12, 2016 – There’s only one place where you will find the biggest names in the world of sport side-by-side and that is in the sports pages of the new and updated GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS 2017 EDITION, which is out now. Featured in this year’s edition are record-breaking feats from some of the most well regarded female athletes from around the world.
Starting with SOCCER, US Women’s National Team member, Carli Lloyd claimed titles for Most goals in a FIFA Women’s World Cup final by an individual (3), the Fastest goal in a FIFA Women’s World Cup final (just 3 minutes after kick-off), and the Oldest goal-scorer in a FIFA Women’s World Cup final (at 32 years and 354 days old). These three impressive record titles were achieved by the midfielder in the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup Final matchup against Japan, in which Carli delivered an extraordinary performance that made her worthy of the recognition as the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Player of the Year.
Guinness World Records caught up with Carli at her hometown soccer field in Medford, New Jersey, ahead of her appearance in the 2016 Summer Olympic Games in Rio, to present her with her official certificates. On her Guinness World Records achievements, Carli commented, “I remember as a kid always looking for this book and just seeing all the records that are in this book. It’s pretty cool to be included. I’m honored and thrilled to be accepting not just one but three record titles.”
In the field of MIXED MARTIAL ARTS, Holly Holm achieved the record for being the First athlete to win boxing and MMA world titles. Holm achieved a World Boxing Association welterweight championship in 2006 and a UFC bantamweight championship in 2015. She became the official record holder for this title after her incredible match against Ronda Rousey, at UFC 193 in Melbourne. Holm’s upset is considered to be one of the biggest upsets in UFC history. When presented with her certificate Holly mentioned that her record-breaking achievement is “something I dreamed of” and “a reminder to keep pushing forward.”
Lastly, in STREET SPORTS, Brazilian skateboarder Leticia Bufoni is featured as holding the record for Most wins of the World Skateboarding street world rankings (female), with a total of four. The three-time X Games champion mentioned that, “It is an honor to be included in this year’s book. For me skateboarding is more about having fun with your friends than it is about winning... but don’t get me wrong, winning is great too!” Leticia has been competing in the X Games and developing her skateboarding skills since the age of 14 and has been nominated for an ESPY award for her remarkable performance.
Other records of note in the sports pages include:
• Longest span of Grand Slam singles titles (open era) – 22 – Serena Williams
• Fastest long course 800 M freestyle (female) – 8 min 6.68 sec – Katie Ledecky
• Fastest serve (tennis) – 131 mph – Sabine Lisicki
• Most goals in FIFA Women’s World Cup finals – 15 –Marta Vieira da Silva
The aforementioned sports records are just a snippet of what you will find across 24 sports pages, 19 different sports disciplines with personalized record holder profiles on selected stars with facts, stats and trivia to boost. The 2017 edition also includes bonus content commemorating the 125th anniversary of basketball and a look at the winter and summer X Games, with historic records and facts from the sports’ stars.

Anthony Kelly will attempt his next Guinness World Record on Sunday.

ARMIDALE'S BRUCE LEE: Anthony Kelly will attempt his next world record on Sunday. He plans to break the record for the most chopsticks to hit a target in a minute.
AS the sun rises Anthony Kelly finishes the first 50 push-ups and sit-ups of 200 he will complete that day, and every other day, for the next 200 days.
He has imposed the rigorous training in the lead up to the next Guinness World Record he plans to break, with the most chopsticks to hit a target blindfolded in one minute.
“Am I confident I’m going to break this record? Hell yeah,” Mr Kelly said.
His love of martial arts began more than 40 years ago and quickly became a Guinness World Record obsession, of which he now has more than 40 under his belt.
“I had a great passion for Bruce Lee and Muhammad Ali and I really wanted to be as fast or as good as I could be, I’m the youngest of five brothers so living in the seventies was pretty full on,” he said.
“I was sick of getting the cane at school and getting bashed up at the bus stop so I thought there had to be a better way to live life than being a punching bag.”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AxPY5rL8yBg
Each record he plans to break takes significant physical and mental preparation.
“When I do it I’m so focused that I can hear flies flying around,” he said.
“I don’t meditate and lots of people expect that I sit around watching a mountain or something, my meditation is catching a ball travelling at 200km/h or doing something really deadly because it gets me in the zone.”
Mr Kelly lives on a diet of meat and potatoes and claims he hasn’t eaten fruit or vegetables in his life.
Unwilling to reveal the next record he plans to break, Mr Kelly said the ideas he has for the future are significantly dangerous.
“My motto is ‘physically, mentally, faster, stronger,’” he said.
“I know I’m only going to live once and so that’s why I do it, I want to try to get the most out of myself.
” I’ve got some really wild ideas of what I want to do but it’s pushing the human boundaries and I don’t want to die just yet.”
The record for most chopsticks caught sighted is also held by Mr Kelly.
The record attempt will be held on Sunday in his home and Northern Tablelands MP Adam Marshall will witness the proceedings.
Sounds like quite a tale of overcoming adversity.

Muhammed Mehsud’s Kung Fu skills make it to Guinness World Record
http://dailytimes.com.pk/static/uplo...d49d8a1b4d.jpg
By: Online
24-Feb-17 338
DERA ISMAIL KHAN: Muhammad Ifran Mehsud made it to the Guinness World Record (GWR) for his spectacular Kung Fu skills.
Pakistan and South Asia Wushu Federation President Malik Iftikhar commented, “His biggest achievement came for breaking five records consecutively in the year 2016.”
The Guinness World Records approved Mehsud’s record for ‘full knee striking using one leg is 87.’ The rest of his records include 31 pushups in a minture with one leg raised, carrying 40lb pack. The most knuckle pushups in one minute is 26, the most knuckle pushups on one leg raised carrying a 40-lb pack in one minute is 21, and the most pushups in which one leg is raised, carrying an 80-lb pack in one minute is 21. He achieved these records from July to October in 2016.
Mehsud, 26, is an MPhil student from Ladha, in the militancy-plagued South Waziristan tribal region.
“I was really stunned to know that a person from the tribal region and whose family has been displaced has emerged at the global arena,” he stated.
According to sources, Mehsud informed the media that his parents had to migrate to Dera Ismail Khanbecause of clashes between Pakistani security forces and militants.
Mehsud declared his achievement as a “Record Title Holder” as a life turning event. He said there are no limitations on a player to break the record on any given day. “My predecessor had maintained the record for one and a half year until I broke it in October,” he stated. Mehsud broke the record of another Pakistani too. Ahmad Amin Bodla was the record holder for making 79 strikes in one minute while Mehsud got 87 strikes in the same time. Bodla belongs to Punjab province of Pakistan.
The PSB policy is silent about the promotion of Kung Fu in the country which is very unfortunate for Mehsud.
Iftikhar stated, “The world was hearing about militancy and extremism only from the Pakistani tribal region but the emergence of Irfan Mehsud as a budding player clearly depicts that ‘the area has matchless talent but needs to be explored.” Iftikhar added, “I would personally leave no stone unturned to promote Mehsud because I have faced challenges boldly at a time when I was leading my life in displacement.”
Mehsud mentioned that currently he is getting daily exercise in a rented mud-built house yet he is determined to project the soft image of the country in the world. However, Mehsud informed the media that he plans to go abroad for advance training if the government supports him. “I’m leading a hard life with limited resources and have no support from the government,” he added. He hopes to be provided with ‘direly needed equipment and building’ so that he can take part in global competitions and bring achievements home.
There's more coming today...lots of new Guinness World Records for martial arts.Quote:

A Chinese kung fu expert has demonstrated the results of his hard training by pulling a row of cars with nothing but his testicles.
Ye Wei moved seven Audi cars using a rope attached to his genitals on March 30 in China's Shandong Province.
After moving the vehicles for eight metres (26ft), the 39-year-old successfully broke his personal record set last year which saw him pulling five cars.

Ye Wei managed to pull seven Audi cars, weighing 12.6 tonnes in total, for eight meters (26.4 ft)
Mr Ye's attempt last Thursday was recorded on a video, released by Pear Video, on March 31.
The videos shows Mr Ye tying a rope which connects to seven Audi cars to his testicles. A group of supporters gathered around Mr Ye to cheer for him as the event took place in Zibo city.
As a highly focused Mr Ye channelled his might through his genitals, the seven vehicles - with a combined weight of 12.6 tonnes - slowly moved forward.

Mr Ye beat his own record of pulling five Audi cars last April, also in Zibo, Shandong Province.
After successfully completing the challenge, Mr Ye told a reporter from Pear Video that he had been practising kung fu for around 30 years and that he had worked as the principal for three martial arts schools.
The other types of martial arts Mr Ye practises are Hung Kuen and Shaolin Kuen. The man also claims to know Thai boxing.
Dr Chen Yu,Department of Urology at Linkou Chang Gung Memorial Hospital told Apple Daily Taiwan in an interview: 'Xi Sui Gong' could help curing or prevent urinary incontinence as the exercise trains the pelvis and muscles around the thigh.'
He also added the action of stimulating the testicles can help problems of premature ejaculation and extend the endurance on sex performance.
However, there is also an effect of bending the ***** and skin peeling on the testicles.

Shaolin Temple warrior monk from India makes Guinness world record with his knee strikes

Making and breaking records is an everyday affair for shifu (master) Shi Miao Jin (pictured below, in orange). Having already set 16 world records, shifu Jin recently set a new bar-and a Guinness world record-for 'the most full-contact knee strikes achieved in one minute with one leg': 97. However, what's even more surprising than his list of achievements is his birth name: Prabhakar Reddy.
One of only three Shaolin Temple warrior monks from India, the 36-year-old Reddy, who claims to have trained more than 60,000 people from around the world at his Nellore, Andhra Pradesh-based kung fu academy, starts his work day at 3.30 am. His students range from a 65-year-old martial arts enthusiast to his five-year-old son, and include women looking to learn basic self-defence as well as advanced practitioners from Thailand. As for his own inspiration, he says he grew up admiring the skills of Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee, and had already earned a kung fu black belt at 16. "My endeavour now is to propel India ahead on the global martial arts map," he says.

About 1,069 dancing robots completed a synchronized dancing routine to claim a Guinness World Record for "Most robots dancing simultaneously."Screen capture/Guinness World Record/YouTube
Aug. 18 (UPI) -- More than a thousand robots performed a choreographed dance routine together to set a world record in China.
The 1,069 "Dobi" robots, produced by WL Intelligent Technology Co. Ltd, completed the synchronized performance in Guangzhou, Guangdong, to claim the Guinness World Record for "Most robots dancing simultaneously."
A few of the robots accidentally toppled over during the performance and were deducted from the final total.
All of the robots were programmed via a singular group control system and are able to talk, do Tai Chi and perform several other actions in addition to dancing.
WL Intelligent Technology topped the record of 1,007 dancing robots, previously held by fellow Chinese company Ever Win Company & Ltd.

Unbelievable moment Chinese martial artist pulls a one-ton van with a string tied round his waist while walking ON HIS HANDS
A Chinese martial artist performed an impressive stunt on the street of China
He pulled a one-ton van by a rope tied to his waist and walked with his hands

This is the incredible moment a Chinese man performed a stunt as he pulled a van with a string tied around waist.
The footage, captured on September 8, shows the man, believed to be a martial artist, walking on his hands while dragging a white minivan in south-west China.
The man walked on his hands for about 10 metres (32.8 feet) without falling.

The video flip is believed to be taken in Kunming, Yunnan Province.
A man in black can be seen tying a string around his waist before making a handstand in front of a white minivan.
The white van's doors are open, suggesting no passengers were inside the vehicle.

There were no passengers or drivers steering inside the van as the stunt was carried out
The van is said to weight about 1,000 kilogram (1.1 ton).
Soon the martial artist started to pull the minivan and walked forward.
The minivan moved and followed behind, demonstrating the man's strength to pull a heavy vehicle.
I know, right? We cannot teach Kung Fu to robots. That would lead to our complete undoing.

Chinese tai chi master sets record for bearing heaviest load while suspended
by Chi Dehua Apr 17, 2018 13:28 MARTIAL ARTS WUHAN
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXoqkoEyhjI
A Chinese tai chi master has set a world record for balancing the heaviest load on a human abdomen while hanging in the air.
Cai Mingyong, 42, successfully held a 90 kg weight on his stomach for ten seconds while lying across two raised pillars, Sohu reports.
"It is the first world record for a person carrying such a heavy load with his stomach," stated Zuzana Pavlonova, the certification officer from the London-based World Record Certification Agency (WRCA), who witnessed Cai's challenge in Wuhan, the capital city of Hubei Province.
Cai, who has suffered from poor health since childhood, has been practicing tai chi for more than 20 years and created his own 'Tianxing Lie Gong' style, which means 'carrying weight on the abdomen while suspending one's body in the air'.
Cai said that "China has a history of more than 5,000 years and a rich culture. I have achieved something by digging only a little from it...We should really feel confident and proud of our culture," according to Caidian News, a local media outlet.
Tai chi, also known as shadow boxing, is traditionally an internal Chinese martial art featuring relatively slow movements, but is practiced more for its health benefits these days.
The WRCA is not affiliated with Guinness World Records in any way.

Lee Sang-min, the CEO of Brand & Company, commented: "Although the success of the Guinness World Records title has its own significance, Taekwondo – which was born in the divided country – gathered people in one place to realise that one spirit has contributed in birthing a new global, cultural sport."

Armidale's Anthony Kelly breaks another Guinness World Record
https://nnimgt-a.akamaihd.net/transf..._h678_fmax.jpg
MARTIAL ARTS MASTER: Perpetual Guinness World Record holder Anthony Kelly has broken yet another world record for fastest tennis ball caught.
STARING down the barrel of a custom-made air gun, Anthony Kelly is a long-time member of one of the world’s most exclusive clubs.
With 50 Guinness World Records under his belt, Kelly just earned the title of World’s Fastest Tennis Ball Caught at 248 kilometres per hour.
Recently, he was best man at the wedding of his good mate Morris Zavatta – one of the greatest tightrope walkers in the world.
“I’ve been practicing the fastest tennis ball for two years, it’s extremely hard to do,” Kelly said.
“The speed of the balls travelling from the air cannon I had to get made in America myself is 0.08 seconds, we’re talking a thousand of a second.
“I have to really train my body to overcome the pain the balls inflict on my body.”
Kelly just learned he’ll be on the inside cover of the Guinness World Book of Records in 2019.
The 54-year-old shows no signs of slowing down. He lives on a diet of meat and potatoes, and reckons he’s never eaten a piece of fruit or a vegetable in his life.
“One of my techniques is opening and closing my hand in five seconds – I have a personal best of 85,” he said.
“That keeps my body super active, I think we can do anything if we set our mind to develop our bodies.”
Kelly has appeared on television shows worldwide; he’s been studied by scientists in Plymouth, England; and met the crew of Mythbusters.
“I have a few other records pushing on the limits of human endurance,” he said,
“I know I won’t do it forever but I certainly have two or three other records that will make people stand up and have a look at what people can achieve.”
Each record he plans to break takes significant physical and mental preparation.
“My motto is ‘physically, mentally, faster, stronger,’” he said in 2016.
“I know I’m only going to live once and so that’s why I do it, I want to try to get the most out of myself.
”I’ve got some really wild ideas of what I want to do, pushing human boundaries.”

Watch: Montrealer breaks world record for longest tai chi practice
Doing anything for 36 consecutive hours is a lot, but that's especially the case with tai chi.
MONTREAL GAZETTE Updated: September 23, 2019
It started, as so many things do, with a Google search.
Samuel Michaud said he was doing “stupid research on the Internet” in his free time when he found the world record for longest tai chi practice.
Sheila Dickinson lasted 28 hours and 59 minutes in 2017.
The idea of trying for the record stuck in his head, and eventually he’d told enough people in his life that he couldn’t not do it.
All of which explains what the tai chi educator and long-time practitioner was trying to do in Montreal’s Victoria Square on Sept. 19 and 20: 36 hours of tai chi.

He was also collecting donations for the Make-A-Wish foundation.
“I like the idea of doing something a little bit crazy,” he said as he closed in on that target, “and I wanted to see how I would react doing 36 hours of tai chi.”
He added: “I think that it’s great that in downtown Montreal, where there’s a lot of traffic, a lot of noise, for 36 hours — a day and a half — someone is doing slow movements in tune with nature.”
