In a tweet shared by Congress, the Congress Vice President can be seen performing various Aikido positions with a Sensei, Paritos Kar.

Aikido is a Japanese form of self-defence and martial art that uses locks, holds, throws, and the opponent’s own movements.

The tweet comes a claim by him in which he said that he is an Aikido black belt holder. “I am a black belt in Aikido – have you heard of it? But I don’t talk about it publicly. I do one hour of sports every day, though I admit I haven’t been doing much in the past three-four months,” Mr Gandhi said at a business event when boxer Vijender had reportedly said that politicians rarely promoted or participated in sports.

Twitter, obviously, can’t process the news:

This practice session does not guarantee that @OfficeOfRG will win any elections against Modi/BJP. 😂

You must know him to believe him. Pictures are always static. Black belt in #Aikido demands years of practice and there are no shortcuts 👍

Then it seems @OfficeOfRG hasn’t been practicing #Aikodo at all…going by the lifelong disconnect between his mind and body.
