Event Description
Now in its 31st year, the U.S. Open is one of the longest-running Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu tournaments in the country, having built a reputation since the early 1990s as a proving ground for competitors across the West Coast. The 2026 edition keeps the same formula that has kept it running for three decades: full age divisions from Kids through Juveniles, Adults, and Masters, with every belt rank welcome, medals for the top three in each bracket, and a complimentary tournament t-shirt for every registered competitor. The tournament runs the weekend of November 14-15, 2026 at Independence High School, 717 N Jackson Ave, in San Jose, CA. Competitors should plan to check in starting at 8:00am each day and arrive at least an hour before their scheduled match time. Registration and the full bracket schedule are available through the event's Smoothcomp page linked from this listing.
