2024 Santa's Shiai

So much gratitude for so many people this year.

As everyone knows the numbers of Judoka are decreasing, making it more and more difficult to run local Judo events like Santa's Shiai. Our registration numbers have been dropping the last two years, making it more difficult to fill out brackets with as many participants as everyone would like.

To enhance your Santa's experience we have added Nick Delpopolo, USA Olympian and instructor to hold a clinic before the tournament. Nick will bring his vast experience and enthusiasm at no added cost to you. The clinic is included with your $50 registration fee. If no other participants are available for you to fight at the tournament, we will refund half the registration fee through Paypal. That makes the clinic only $25! Note" we have removed the late registration fees. Hope to see you there!!
