Congratulations to Head Instructor Robert Ardito for smashing the Guinness World Record for "Most Punch Strike in One Minute".

Instructor Robert recorded an absolutely amazing 805 Wing Chun style short ranges punches in one minute at the International Wing Chun Academy at Sussex St Sydney on 18 March 2009.

This is now the third time Instructor Robert has broken this record. He first set a mark of 428 punches on Channel 7's "Guiness World Records" TV program in 2005. That record was broken soon later however following intense interest from many people that witnessed the original feat. Determined to reclaim his record, Instructor Robert switched to a shorter range style which allowed for significantly more punches. On 18 March 2007, Instructor Robert set an amazing mark of 702, though he always knew he was capable of more.

In 2008, a world renowned martial artist in the USA broke the record by 11 punches setting a mark of 713. Again, Instructor Robert sought to reclaim his record and did so by breaking it again by 92 punches!

805 punches in one minute = 13.4 punches per second!
