| IYR and Peak Performance Sword Systems. For the past seventeen years here in the Northwest, McCartney Sensei has refined this style of swordsmanship to a representation that works equally well in form as it does in function. The look, feel and effectiveness of it today are the culmination of nearly 30 years of continual research. It has been brought to a place where tradition and innovation meet as the modern application of an ancient way. In the year 2000 Sensei shattered a previous record in time, difficulty and number of cuts on tournament class targets with a perfect run of 1181 consecutive cuts without a single missed attempt in an amazing one hour and twenty-five minutes as the new Guinness Book World Record holder of the sword division. Again in 2007 he set yet another record for the fastest 4 cuts on one target in an astounding one second flat. His codified teaching, training method and technique has produced three National Champions in tournament challenge activity and three members of his school hold four World Records. Instructors such as Steve Baxter a second degree Blackbelt can be found in the greater Seattle area and Bellevue as well across the United States and as far away as Belgrade, Serbia where last year as an already five time Hall of Fame inductee, he accepted his sixth induction into the European Martial Arts Hall of Fame and was voted one of only three lifetime memberships to their Grandmasters council. McCartney Sensei continues to lecture at seminars teaching his Certified Instructor Training program while promoting swordsmanship around the world. He also frequently appears in and is a contributing writer to Black Belt Magazine as sword master and writer in their sword forum section. 1-800-TEN-YAMA or 206-729-3929 for information. |
