    He's a unique one for sure.

    Anthony has really fast hands. Surprisingly fast. Thus all the records. It's hard to fake out Guinness. All the belts, well, it's all about his hand speed. When you're that fast, it easy to pick up such credentials. I found Anthony to be quite friendly and open about his skills. Beyond teaching, he makes his living traveling the world doing speed stunts. I respect that. My fav is his record for punching 11,557 times in 1 hour.

    not that impressive :/

    this is the speed punching record he broke. im sure he's a nice guy and i dont mean to rain on his parade but come on. there was no power in those punches at all. if you look at the slow motion at the end the pad barely moved. a boxer or wing chun practitioner could easily beat that record and do it with some power. sorry guys....
    its not the destination that is important it is the journey getting there

    That was horrid, please don't tell me that Guiness actually bases its records on a hand held push button device?

    It would appear so.

    And the judges must have drunk at least a number of pints equal to their age of guiness before judging an event.

    No power?

    This guy is a ninja.

    Any one of those punches could kill an entire army.

    I remember the Last Dragon. Where he caught the arrow at the beginning "without knowing."

    That scene took 2 hours to shoot before he could actually catch the arrow. So says IMDB.com.

    That's because he wasn't a real ninja like this guy on Mythbusters.

    You obviously lack chi and are nothing but a glorified kick boxer.

    Simon-"The Last Dragon" is a classic, and a must have on anyone's list.
    The MA isn't great, although there are some moments. The lines are priceless, and have become standard phrases., such as "Bruce LeRoy" "Nigga, Please!"
    "Who's Da Mastuh!" and "Sum Dum Guy!"
    It's very dated, very 80's, sometimes very embarassing to watch, but it's hysterical.
    Also watch for some familiar faces, like his henchman, who has appeared in a few Segal movies,local NY Martial Artists like Pete Traina,David Claudio,and of course Ernie Reyes Jr-who is about 9, and his father Ernie Reyes Sr.
