ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s Ahmad Safeer broke the Indian record to register his name in the Guinness World Record book for throwing the most full extension punches in one minute.

Ahmed Safeer, a martial artist from Dera Ismail Khan, beat India’s Narayanan N while holding a one kilogram weight in his hands. Pakistan’s Ahmed struck 301 punches to break the record of 269 punches set by his Indian counterpart.

Ahmed’s instructor Irfan Mehsood, who himself is a serial record breaker, told The PenPK.com on Tuesday.  Master martial artist Mehsood said Ahmed attempted the record in Dera Ismail Khan on May 11.

The record was previously held by India’s Narayanan, who did 269 punches in one minute, but now Ahmed has become the fastest puncher in the world. Mehsood proudly said.

Pakistani recorder breaker Ahmad said he aspired to be like his coach, who specialized in weighted pack push-ups and short time frame exercises.
