Mattson Academy Remote Learning Program Overview
The foundation of the Mattson Academy online coaching program is a video course curriculum based on Kyu and Dan rank requirements.
The program is a self-directed learning process where student’s progress is monitored through the workout journal entries, recorded video demonstrations, and instructor review.
After completion of the Introductory Course, the subsequent course material consists of a library of videos to teach the student new kata, pre-arranged kumite and techniques required to meet the course rank requirements and to incrementally advance the student’s practice of Uechi-ryu karate.
Pre-recorded classes and weekly live (or recorded) online class are also available for all members.

Testing for Rank Endorsed by the International Uechi-ryu Karate Federation (IUKF)
As you study, train and learn with Sensei Mattson, you will test for different ranks online. We use the classical 10-kyu rank system with white, green, and brown belts for beginners and intermediate students.
Members of the academy who qualify for advanced rank, will be tested on-line through an innovative system created by Sensei Mattson and successfully used to test many senior black belts and senior teachers within the system. The International Uechi-ryu Karate Federation (IUKF) has implemented with Mattson, an effective “pre-testing” method of working with prospective black belt candidates that is considered to be one of the best and fairest testing methods
Sanchin The Old Way
Sanchin is the first kata of Uechi-ryu karate; and the most important. Meaning “three conflicts”, Sanchin develops the student’s body, mind, and spirit. Start the learning of Sanchin using a traditional approach, just as it was taught in China.
We offer a 12-week program called “The Old Way” that anyone can take. No prior knowledge is required. The Old Way complements the new student’s early practice of Uechi-ryu and elevates the practice of senior-ranked practitioners.

- Introductory Course and Assignments.
