Vladan Tadic, a Serbian martial artist, former fighter, boxing coach, and eskrima guro, completed 164 valid one-handed nunchaku air strikes in one minute. The record recognizes a movement-based nunchaku speed discipline in which the athlete performs repeated one-handed air strikes rather than target-contact hits.
Transparent Adjudicator's Statement
Summary of Claim
The claimant submitted that he completed 164 one-handed nunchaku air strikes within a 60-second attempt window. The claimed discipline required the use of one nunchaku and one hand, with each valid repetition consisting of a clear outward striking motion followed by a return toward the body before the next repetition.
Evidence Submitted
Atlas World Records reviewed video evidence of the attempt, applicant correspondence describing the proposed discipline, a diagram of the intended motion, photographic evidence of the nunchaku and its weight, and written Q&A responses from the claimant describing his martial arts background, training method, competition history, and the technical requirements of the movement.
Comparative and Cross-Archive Benchmark Review
Atlas World Records cross-referenced the publicly available records at all major world record organizations and reviewed related nunchaku speed, striking, and repetition categories. Existing public records include nunchaku “hits” and other technique-specific nunchaku categories, but those records are not directly equivalent to this claim because this attempt did not involve striking a physical target. Atlas therefore evaluated this as a distinct air-strike repetition category requiring its own title, rules, and verification standard.
Verification Methodology
The submitted video was reviewed to identify the 60-second attempt window and count the number of valid one-handed air-strike repetitions completed within that period. A valid repetition required a clear one-handed nunchaku striking motion extending outward and returning toward the body before the next repetition. Movements that were unclear, incomplete, obstructed, outside the attempt window, or not consistent with the defined movement standard were subject to exclusion.
Adjudication Findings
Upon review, Atlas World Records verified 164 valid one-handed nunchaku air strikes completed within one minute. The attempt was not classified as a nunchaku “hits” record because no physical target was struck. The result was instead accepted under the specifically defined category of one-handed nunchaku air strikes.
Conclusion
Atlas World Records recognizes Vladan Tadic for achieving the record title Most One-Handed Nunchaku Air Strikes in One Minute, with a verified result of 164 valid repetitions in 60 seconds. This certification recognizes a distinct nunchaku speed discipline based on one-handed air-strike repetition, technical control, and endurance within a fixed one-minute period.
