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 OldWay ™
The best time-tested way to learn Sanchin is George Mattson’s “OldWay™”! The course provides a comprehensive understanding of Sanchin, emphasizing its application in real-life combat situations and the development of physical endurance and pin-point focus power. A perfect training companion while participating in one of the Mattson Academy’s courses.
We offer a 12-week program called “OldWay™” that anyone can take. No prior knowledge is required. The OldWay™ complements the new student’s early practice of Uechi-ryu and elevates the practice of senior-ranked practitioners.

Mattson Academy Audit Program
Join Grandmaster George Mattson Every Day for a Live Online Workout
Each morning at 7:00 AM Eastern Time, Sensei Mattson leads a group of Uechi-ryu karateka through a 30-minute workout including:
- Stretching exercises that help maintain mobility in body parts from the neck to the feet!
- Body weight resistance training including 10 deep squats, lateral stretches, and 25 “angle” push-ups. This is controlled exercise, not “working through the pain” exercise.
- Three non-stop Sanchin kata (levels one, two and three), followed by stretching and breathing drills.
- A three-minute round of Uechi-based “shadow sparring”. Each round is performed using the “Old Way” movement/breathing method with emphasis on visualization and kime. Mixed into this round are three segments of jogging in place.
- One-minute of standing meditation.
- A Sensei Mattson “tip of the day”, leading into a group discussion about techniques, history, and other related topics.
