Bengaluru: A 33-year-old city resident says he has set a record for walking 100 steps on his hands, demonstrating resilience after losing a leg.Hemant Kumar KVfrom Attiguppe received recognition from an organisation called Noble World Records (NWR) three weeks ago for his achievement. The NWR operates under the International Non-Olympic Committee and recognises accomplishments outside traditional Olympic categories.The central govt employee and former national-level boxing silver medallist lost his leg in Aug 2023 after falling from a building.Following a period of depression, Hemant decided to challenge himself by learning to walk on his hands. “After the accident, I couldn’t sit idle. I knew I had to do something to prove that every setback carries the seed of a comeback,” he said.His training regimen began a year ago and lasted seven months, involving waking at 4am and practising for at least eight hours daily. He strengthened his upper body through boxing drills and documented his progress throughout. The successful 100-step walk, which took approximately 10 minutes, was recorded near NICE Road on the outskirts of Bengaluru.Hemant has continued boxing with a prosthetic leg, refusing to let his disability limit his ambitions. “I started walking on my hands—not just for recovery, but to prove that even with a disability, nothing is impossible if you believe in yourself,” he said.He hopes his achievement will inspire others facing similar challenges, emphasising that “hard work and persistence can always help in reaching my goals.”
