Action star Vidyut Jammwal has always tried to push the boundaries when it comes to putting Indian martial arts on the global map. His expertise comes from his decades of practice in Kalaripayattu, an Indian martial art form. His training videos have captured the attention of fitness enthusiasts across the world.

The fitness icon has posted a video online today, in which he can be seen doing an incredible, never-seen-before feat by using Kalaripayattu techniques. In the video, Vidyut is seen engaged in advanced training, while slicing vegetables using a sword and a shield. It starts with him putting melting wax on his eyes and wrapping a piece of cloth around them. The Khuda Haafiz actor then takes a sword and shield and starts performing this extraordinary act. This feat can be achieved only after years of training and practising the art.

Vidyut shares, “The evolution of an individual is a continuous process that needs to be honed with focus and regularity. Kalaripayattu says that the eyes are useless when the mind is blind. This act requires an immense amount of concentration and training. I have been training for this for a long time, and it was my dream to be successful in this act. I am happy to share this with fitness aspirants, and I request them to attempt such feats under the guidance of a master and only upon the completion of requisite training.”
