A man from India's Tamil Nadu state has left many social media users amazed with his talent of performing local martial arts - but with a twist.
Sarath Genu performs Silambam, an Indian form of martial arts, by placing water-filled glasses on a manual weighing scale instead of sticks, which are traditionally used in the art form.
In the video, Genu can be seen whirling the scale in the air in all directions with glasses filled with water, rotating it in the air without spilling a drop. In the end, the performer drinks the water from the glasses.

the speed and position while taking off and slowing down really matters....rest is taken care of by the law of inertia...
