Islamabad: A six-year-old Pakistani martial artist Salaar Mehsood has set a Guinness World Record by doing 26 one-handed cartwheels in 30 seconds and broke the previous record of 25, informed Pakistan’s martial artist Irfan Mehsood.

Irfan, who holds 60 Guinness World Records, is Salaar’s teacher. Irfan has smashed several records, including the number of push-ups (fingertips, carrying a 60 lb pack) in a minute, the number of step-ups (carrying a 100 lb pack), and the length of time spent in a reverse abdominal plank posture while carrying a 100 lb pack.

Mehsood said that he was the only sportsperson to set world records while employing 80 to 100 pounds of weight. “I broke most of India’s world records, making me the only Pakistani athlete to do so. I have already smashed records in nine nations, including India, the USA, the UK, France, the Philippines, Iraq, Egypt, Italy, and Spain,” martial artist stated.

Last year, renowned Pakistani martial artist Rashid Naseem broke the record for nunchaku triangle strikes held by England’s Chirag Lukha, with a total of 78 strikes. The 32-year-old athlete made 88 strikes in one minute, surpassing Lukha’s record of 79 blows.
