Young kids are breaking boundaries and bagging the Guinness World Record in their name by showing elite-level talent. From jaw-dropping skills to spine-tingling gymnastics, there is no dearth of videos on the internet showing super-skilled children demonstrating their remarkable skills. Joining these mind-boggling records is Samyuktha Narayanan. The seven-year-old has taken the world by storm with her Taekwondo skills. Hailing from Madurai, the kid earned the Guinness World Records (GWR) title for being the “youngest Taekwondo instructor ever."

Samyuktha started Taekwondo at the age of three. According to the organisation, her parents, Shruthy and Narayanan, run Madurai Taekwondo Academy. They also hold Guinness World Record titles, including the most marble slabs broken with a single kick (7, by Narayanan).
Shruthy was the first female to clinch the record for the most full-contact elbow strikes in one minute using alternate elbows. Narayanan, on the other hand, bags the record for most flaming concrete blocks broken in 30 seconds (29) and most marble slabs broken with a single kick (seven).
 

“Seven-year-old girl makes history as the youngest Taekwondo instructor ever, aged just seven years and 270 days old! Samyuktha Narayanan is an inspiration to fellow kids in Madurai, India, encouraging them to engage in sports!" GWR captioned the post on Instagram with a series of photos.

Needless to say, the girl’s achievement left the entire internet community in awe. They couldn’t hold back but flock to the comments section of the post to shower appreciation on Samyuktha.

“Heartiest congratulations on achieving a world record at such a young age, Samyuktha. Your hard work, determination, and incredible talent are truly inspiring. You have not only made your family proud but have also set an example for other young dreamers to believe in themselves and strive for greatness," said a user.

Another added, “She is the inspiration of people who want to learn martial arts. Appreciate the upbringing of her parents."

“This just goes to show that kids can achieve great things," read a comment.
Speaking to GWR, the seven-year-old revealed her biggest inspirations. “My father and mother are my biggest inspirations. I used to admire the Guinness World Records certificates achieved by my dad and mum hanging on the walls in our home. It was my goal to achieve a GWR title and hang my certificate on the same wall," she said.

Expressing her happiness to win the GWR title, the young instructor said, “After I achieved my GWR title, I received appreciation from my friends, family and teachers. My photos and videos were published in the newspaper and [shown on] television. I felt like a star in my city."

To achieve her black belt, Samyuktha had to run 5 km, complete lots of workouts and learn all the Taekwondo syllabus. Despite being the youngest student in the cohort, Samyuktha proved her worth and achieved the black belt by the World Taekwondo Headquarters in Korea.
