Martial Arts World Records

Bobby L. completed 47 mid section punches in 10 seconds while doing a horse riding stance.

Carlos Jaen took two quick steps across a mat in Valencia, Venezuela, launched into a jumping side kick and struck a crossbar 2.47 meters (about 8 feet 1 inch) off the ground, bursting the balloon rigged to it. The stand was measured on camera beforehand, with a tape measure run from the mat to the crossbar, and the kick was filmed from several angles while black belts in uniform looked on. Two steps of runway, and the balloon never stood a chance.

Carlos Jaen sprinted across a turf field in Valencia, Venezuela, took off behind a marker 3.30 meters (about 10 feet 10 inches) from a target stand and closed the gap with a jumping side kick, bursting the balloon rigged to the stand. The distance was measured on camera just before the kick, with a tape measure run from the foot of the stand to the takeoff line, and the attempt was filmed from three angles while martial artists in uniform looked on. The balloon had more than three meters of warning and it didn't help.
