In an extraordinary feat of strength, focus, and discipline, 14-year-old Heer Vasanwala from Navsari, Gujarat, has earned a place in the Guinness World Records by delivering the most full-contact knee strikes in three minutes (one leg) by a female — a staggering 272 strikes.
The attempt took place on 24 December 2021, and Heer’s performance left spectators in awe as she showcased exceptional martial arts ability and endurance.
Heer credited her achievement to the unwavering support of her family and the inspiration drawn from her martial arts teacher, Vispi Kasad, who himself holds multiple Guinness World Records. “This record means everything to me and my family who always supported me in anything I do,” she said. “Getting a GWR title is the biggest dream come true for me as they are very tough to achieve. I want to dedicate this record to my family, my karate teacher Vispi Kasad, and my country.”
The record highlights not just her physical capability, but also the growing participation and success of young girls in martial arts and sports across India. Her accomplishment is expected to inspire a new generation of youth, especially girls, to pursue their goals with discipline and determination.
With this achievement, Heer Vasanwala has not only entered the record books but also firmly cemented her place as a rising star in the world of martial arts.
