6. The Super Samurai – Isao Machii
Trust me, you don’t want to go toe to toe with this guy. Much like Superman, Japanese Iaido Master Isao Machii can predict the trajectory of an object with such frightening accuracy that he’s able to slice it in half using a sword every… single… time!
To put that into perspective, Isao was able to slice small airsoft pellets that were shot at him at 550ft/s! He currently holds the record of fastest 1000 martial arts sword cuts and the fastest tennis ball cut by a sword.
5. Jaws of Steel – Rathakrishnan Velu
I usually whine to myself about pushing a shopping cart all the way to the parking lot, so I can’t imagine what kind of strength it takes Malaysian-born Rathakrishnan Velu to pull two KTM commuter trains, weighing 260.8 tons (574,964lb) for a distance of 4.2m (13ft 9in) along the Kuala Lumpur Railway Station lines.
Rathakrishnan, now affectionately known as “King Tooth”, claims that an Indian guru taught him how to channel all his strength to a specific part of his body when he was 14. I don’t know about you, but I’m very curious to know if this special technique applies to any part of the body… you know, for research purposes.
