Mattson Academy “Virtual” Dojo

by George Mattson
So…. You want to study Uechi-ryu!
Virtual dojo

 

About 8 years ago I made a video tape that is still running on our Video Website. On this tape I predicted that web technology would soon enable teaching the martial arts on-line within five years!
Well, although the technology was available even before the five years prediction, few of the individuals who requested my help, had the computer equipment needed to accomplish this.
By 2005, most people who wish to either supplement their dojo studies or lacking a local dojo, actually progress through the ranks, enabling them to qualify for testing by a certified test board.
What equipment do you need to participate in this program:
  1. A video camera.
  2. Video editing program and the skills to transfer a video clip from your camera to a video file on your computer.
  3. Web access, enabling you to either send video clips to me or to upload the clips to Google Video.
  4. Ability to access the Eastern Arts’ On-Line Learning Center.
    1. Must have computer that meets requirements listed here: http://members.optecs.com/confighelp/VoiceHelp.asp
    2. Willing to meet on-line once a month for conferencing and video critiquing of lessons
    3. Willing to practice as required to progress and achieve goals of program.
How program works:
  1. Sign-up for an “evaluation” session with me. (Cost is $19.95, payable through Paypal or G&S secure store)
    1. This evaluation session includes a meeting with you on the “ Learning Center ”
    2. Review of the features of the “ Learning Center”
      • Telephone quality features of the site.
      • Ability to share documents and review the documents together.
      • Ability to view film clips together and review techniques, corrections and suggestions.
      • Capability to have students of same rank meet together for on-line classes.
    3. Option to sign-up to the On-line Mattson Academy! $39.95 a month.
    4. Receive DVD courses for all ranks up through Brown Belt (Ikkyu)
    5. Receive Black Belt Test Guide 3 rd edition.
    6. Receive monthly lessons on-line and in e-Book format.
    7. Personal review session where goals are established and technical material is covered that is needed to achieve these goals.
    8. Special discounts for G&S products and Eastern Arts’ activities.
Sign-up today for your special “evaluation” session. Send me an e-mail and I will schedule our on-line meeting with you at a convenient time for us both.

Looking forward to hearing from you and working with you.
