    Guinness confirmed

    Video: Thousands of martial arts fans perform record-breaking Wing Chun display in China
    By Kevin Lynch
    Published 20 January 2015



    A new world record for the largest Wing Chun display has been set in Sichuan, Chengdu, China following a breathtaking display of the martial art.

    The attempt, which took place earlier this month, involved 10,021 participants and was achieved by the Sichuan Southwest Vocational College of Civil Aviation.Largest Wing Chun display
    Wing Chun is a form of self-defence utilising both striking and grappling while specialising close-range combat.



    The attempt marked the opening of Wing Chun courses at the college to promote the martial art.



    A spokesperson for Sichuan Southwest Vocational College of Civil Aviation, said, “The successful challenge for the Guinness World Records title makes Wing Chun more popular, and I hope it will now become popular around the world”.



    The attempt beat the previous record of 3,000 people set by a community in Guangdong, China.



    Shaolin could beat this record if they were so inclined. I'm surprised Taguo hasn't applied.

    Isn't Wing Chun already the most popular kung fu system (besides Taiji) around the world? It's commonly found almost everywhere, it seems.

    Way OT...but it's Guinness World Records

    I didn't realize Guinness even had a world record category for this. How is it judged exactly? And wouldn't augmentation be cheating?

    Jayanth Reddy - 12 GWRs

    Pretty good for a man in his 50s

    Hyderabad’s very own Bruce Lee
    Deepu Joseph, TNN | May 25, 2015, 12.00AM IST


    Jayanth Reddy, who holds several records, believes in not only improving the state of Indian martial arts, but also says that people can live upto 150 years if only they are aware of the potential their bodies hold

    Watching 53-year-old Jayanth Reddy dishing out a flurry of kicks and punches during his morning training session at Jalagam Vengalrao Park can make one question if age was ever a factor for this 8th Dan (degree) black belt Taekwondo Grand Master from Hyderabad. He's been making headlines for the past few years, notching up individual Guinness World Records almost at will — a total of 12 records, including two team awards. Apart from that he's also the winner of eight US Presidential Sports Awards.

    Although his personal achievements areoutstanding, Jayanth's main goal is to help Indians achieve world records in martial arts. A total of 2,000 people who have undergone training at his academy ever since its inception in 2010. He is now coming up with a first of its kind martial arts league in India, right now in early stages of planning.

    "Martial arts has given a lot to me, and I want to give back in any way possible to increase its popularity. In the next three years, I wish to help another 10,000 Indians achieve world records. This will improve India's reputation in the world of martial arts, which is currently dominated by countries like China, Japan, Korea and Thailand. I plan to do this not just through my academy, but also through the International Taekwondo Champions League that I am working to establish. This will feature top athletes from the world over spread out in four weight categories, and will be held in city wise franchise model that is so popular these days with most sports. If cricket can garner the amount of excitement it does, I'm very sure this martial arts league will be able to match it on every count," says Jayanth, who is also a practitioner of Kung Fu, Karate and Thai Boxing.

    Jayanth started his run of clinching Guinness records on August 31, 2010 by clocking 171 round kicks in just one minute. His latest record was clocking 4,344 round kicks with one leg in an hour on December 19, 2014. He plans to break three more records in the future. When asked as to what his toughest challenge was, he says, "The record attempt when I broke 34 eight by four inch cement blocks with spinning cartwheel kicks in one minute would have to be the most gruelling experience I've had to date," says the father of two.

    For Jayanth, it was the search for a healthy lifestyle that preceded his tryst with martial arts at the age of 12. "Bruce Lee was a huge inspiration for me and one thing led to another, and I chose to try it out. My parents were initially sceptical about it and thought that I'd end up as a gangster, but as I started to win awards in the martial arts circuit, their attitude changed. They were proud of me, and I haven't looked back ever since; I have no regrets! What's more, I was able to charm my wife too!" says Jayanth with a laugh.

    He is also a proponent of how the mind and body can be fine-tuned to achieve healthy living, and has authored two books. "I want to help people overcome their addictions and live a healthy lifestyle. With right kind of diet and organ strengthening exercises, I believe people can live for 150 years. People find that hard to believe. I tell them to make a judgement after I achieve that," says Jayanth.

    23 squat thrusts in one minute with 40 pounds weight on the back

    Pakistani Taekwando champion secures another Guinness World Record
    By APP
    Published: August 21, 2015


    Ahmad Amin Bodla PHOTO: Facebook.com/Ahmad-Amin-Bodla-martial-artist

    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).
    I'd be bummed too if I fell second to cricket.

    Cracked 97 walnuts in 60 seconds...with nunchuks!

    Yay Nunchuks!

    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.



    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.

    most-walnuts-cracked-with-a-nunchaku-in-one-minute-start

    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.

    Why a girl would want to change her pretty smaller ones for bigger escapes me. But then again, I was never really into Playboy model types. To each there own I guess.

    Largest martial arts display record set by Chinese city where 50,000 did Tai Chi


    REUTERS
    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.
    'Million' tai chi enthusiasts try to smash world record
    GBTIMES
    2015/10/19










    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.
    Wow. That's just staggering. Way to go Jiaozuo!
