A Delhi man’s feat, which helped him get a world record, was captured on camera. In the video, the Tang Soo Do athlete performs a “martial arts 360 kick,” which earned him a place on the list.

“Highest unassisted martial arts 360 kick (male), 2.08 m (6 ft 9 in) by Chinmay Sharma,” the organisation wrote as they posted a video of the record-holder. In a separate blog, GWR explained that Sharma performed the feat in on August 4 this year.

Was social media impressed?

The video garnered several likes and comments. Many people were amazed by the feat and congratulated Sharma on his achievement.

“Making India proud,” wrote an Instagram user. “I will break this record,” added another. A third commented, “I am the luckiest student to have a guru like you.” A fourth joined, “This is just wow.”

However, not everyone was impressed and claimed that the feat was not worth a record. Just like this individual who commented, “It is easy.” Expressing a similar sentiment, another added, “Why is this even a world record.”
