The most martial arts sword cuts in one minute (rush straw) is 97, and was achieved by Ricardo Jesús Blanes Blancas (Netherlands), in Oss, Noord-Brabant, Netherlands, on 19 March 2022.


Ricardo was inspired to attempt this title after seeing footage of the previous record-holder's attempt. He began training with the katana, using weights on his arms to build the strength needed to cut through the tatamis, and over time, was able to build his speed and dexterity. Being a Guinness World Records title holder is not only a personal achievement for Ricardo, it is motivation to "keep doing my best at whatever I want to do or to complete a goal."
