Ishiyama Ryu is a unique American expression of traditional Japanese swordsmanship created by Russell McCartney Sensei, the Chief Instructor of Ishiyama Ryu. The style was developed after over several decades of research, personal insight, and practice in Toyama Ryu, Nakamura Ryu, Ryuseiken, Muso Shinden Ryu, Aikido and Aikijutsu, Karate-do, Wing Chun, and Tai chi. Ishiyama Ryu is an eclectic style that not only draws upon several martial traditions, but is also inspired by the patterns and rhythms of nature. The result is an art form characterized by dynamic and fluid movements which utilize multiple angles of engagement while cultivating a unification of body, breath, mind, instrument, and spirit.
