Hyderabadi man B Sai Deepak Patel set a new Guinness World Record

Hyderabad man B Sai Deepak Patel set a new Guinness World Record by doing 87 one leg full contact knee strikes in 3 minutes while wearing 5-kilogram ankle weights.

The 23-year-old man already has two other records -- 142 full contact elbow strikes in one minute (alternate elbows), and 175 one leg full contact knee strikes (one leg) in three minutes.

Sharing an email received from the World Records body, which acknowledged his achievement, Mr Patel said he gave credit to his guru M Jayanth Reddy for the guidance due to which he was able to achieve the record.

He broke the record on April 7 after which a certificate was issued to him by the Guinness Book of World Records. He has dedicated his achievement to the Army personnel and wants to promote the Fit India Movement.
