Letting cars pass over his body

What makes a strong person? Is it someone who can lift 100 kg without breaking a sweat, or is it a person who readily copes with everything that life places in his path, without fretting or complaining? Whatever it is, we all probably have moments when we wish that we were stronger, and although it might feel like there’s nothing much that can be done, the truth is that there is. If you don’t already know, training martial arts could do the trick for you. Says the 39-years-old, 5th Dan Black Belt holder, Yoga instructor, Fitness and Karate Coach –Chainsingh Roopsingh Rajpurohit, who has created a new record by letting 21 Maruti Suzuki Wagon R cars pass over his body. The daredevil act has got a proud mention in the prestigious India Book of Records (IBR).

Born in Jodhpur, Rajasthan on August 12, 1983, Chainsingh runs the Kings Sports Academy in Ghatkopar East, Mumbai, Maharashtra, where the record-making stunt took place (at Fitness Forever, next to Cricket Turf 90 ft Road) in the presence of Parag Bhai Shah, the BJP MLA from Ghatkopar East constituency. The historical attempt was made on April 30, 2023, to mark the 111th birth anniversary of Shri Bramharshi Khetaramji Maharaj. The entire stunt was completed between 7 am to 10 am.

After Ganesh Vandana, the chief guest Parag Shah inaugurated the programme by breaking a coconut on the ground. An iron structure was placed in the middle of the road, through which the cars had to cross. Chainsingh lay down on his back in the middle of the iron ramp. Cars had to pass over his stomach where he was wearing his black belt. On both sides of the road, karate students of his academy stood alert in proper costume. Cars passed over his body 21 times one by one amid thunderous applause. India Book of Records Adjudicator Seema Manikothe was present on the spot to witness and verify the amazing feat. With the passing of the last car, she declared the completion of the record and honoured Chainsingh with the IBR certificate and a medal.

The record for the maximum number of cars passed over the body of an individual was set by Chainsingh Rajpurohit of Mumbai, who let 21 cars pass over his body one after the other at Kings Sports Academy.

Chainsingh told the India Book of Records magazine that “When you train martial arts, you will constantly push your limits, be it physically, mentally or emotionally. After all, that is the only way you can truly improve and make progress. The more obstacles you overcome, the stronger you will get, and the best part is that you will understand that you have what it takes to keep getting better and improving by one percent each day.”

It is not the first record for him. Earlier also he has given astonishing performances proving his extreme limits,
