Mr Kelly, pictured, was invited to Nanjing, where his arrow catching was challenged by a young Chinese martial artist who had practiced his arrow catching for six weeks before challenging the master.
Despite missing a few early arrows Mr Kelly triumphed over the challenger in the live contest and impressed judges with his lightning reflexes.
Mr Kelly has travelled the world over and appeared in numerous Guinness World Record shows, Mythbusters and Stan Lee’s Superhumans.
He will also appear on the Today show where he will attempt to catch what he calls “the world’s fastest tennis ball”, however, a date for that show has not been set.
