Looking towards the future!
by George E. Mattson
My goal and emphasis was always to work within the Uechi framework of tradition and style. In the early 80s, I introduced the Uechi world to its Southern China ancestors, believing that exploring Uechi-ryu’s past would enhance and vitalize its future. Again, I hoped that Okinawa, China and the rest of the world could work together in some kind of accord that would strengthen Uechi-ryu.
Although no accord happened, through the annual Summer Camp, hosting multiple styles of the martial arts, Uechi-ryu has become and remains a state-of-the-art system that has evolved and has been able to survive in an era of intense competition.
