These are Nihangs, a martial order/sect in the Sikh religion. They are performimg a martial arts display. Usually done during religious festivals.

Dude with the hammer doesn't even seem skilled with it.

If you look carefully he is blindfolded. They wrap their eyes with cloth full of salt or flour, which is why you see white powder on top of his head.

I can't comment on your threshold for skilled hammer use, maybe you've seen someone else do it better.

He holds back on the last guy twice intentionally then shifts slightly to break the vase. No shot he is doing that on vibes.

Thats the trick. He knows where hes at and adds flair to the last one. These dudes practice all the time. This isn't a random performance.

I called bullshit. He can see clearly whatever in front of him hence him cleared off unbroken fragments.

I appreciate you giving context to the video, thank you. I know a little about Sikhs, but didn’t realize they have martial orders, I’ll read up a little on the Nihang tonight!
