Thank You, Judo Community – The San Jose Open is Almost Here
As we prepare to welcome athletes, coaches, referees, and families from across the country to the 3rd Annual San Jose Open Judo Championships, we want to take a moment to reflect with gratitude. This event has grown into something truly special, and it wouldn’t be possible without the incredible support of the Judo community.
With over 1,000 entries already confirmed and registration still open, this year’s San Jose Open is officially set to be the largest Judo event in Northern California history. That milestone is not just about numbers—it’s a celebration of how far our community has come together in just a few short years.
A Heartfelt Thank You
We owe a tremendous thank you to our sponsors who help make events of this scale possible:
Dollamur Sports Surfaces – providing world-class mats and surfaces for our athletes.
United States Army – supporting the growth of Judo and athletic excellence.
San Jose Sports Authority – partnering with us to showcase San Jose as a hub for elite competition.
And, of course, our deepest gratitude goes to the Judo clubs, coaches, athletes, and families who continue to show up, contribute, and build this tradition with us. Without your energy, commitment, and belief in our vision, the San Jose Open simply wouldn’t exist.
A Unique Experience at The Plex
When we first set out to create the San Jose Open, our goal was clear: to provide a high-quality competition experience that athletes and families will always remember. This year, we’re proud to host the event at The Plex in San Jose—a one-of-a-kind venue that adds to the look, feel, and atmosphere of the tournament. The Plex offers a modern and exciting environment that we believe makes the San Jose Open unlike any other Judo event in the region.
Looking Ahead
We are humbled by the growth of this event and inspired by the passion of the Judo community. Every registration, every volunteer hour, every cheer from the stands brings us closer to creating the type of event that not only showcases competition at its highest level but also embodies the spirit of Judo—respect, perseverance, and unity.
We look forward to welcoming you all next weekend for an unforgettable experience. Let’s make history together at the 2025 San Jose Open!
