KARACHI: Guinness World Records has lauded Pakistan’s Rashid Naseem, who remains undefeated in his remarkable nunchaku world record for 10 consecutive years.
According to details, Rashid Naseem holds the world record for breaking 158 clay targets in one minute using nunchaku, a feat that has not been surpassed since it was set. The previous record was held by Samuel Sprague from the USA, who had broken 102 clay targets in one minute.
In recognition of this achievement, Guinness World Records congratulated Rashid Naseem and even uploaded the video of the record on their official Facebook page, where it has crossed 80 million views.
The record has also been included in the Guinness World Records’ list of “All-Time Great – Best of the Best” performances and featured in their special 70th anniversary promotional video.
Rashid Naseem has achieved this milestone on an Italian TV show, where he also performed another incredible stunt — removing 23 playing cards placed between two bottles using nunchaku with precision and speed.
Globally recognized as the most decorated martial artist in the nunchaku category, Rashid holds more world records in nunchaku than anyone else in the world. Over the years, he has broken records previously held by martial arts masters from China, India, the USA, and the UK.
