Easton Open Spring 2025, the LAST Easton Open

This spring, the we held our biannual BJJ Tournament on Saturday, April 5th and Sunday, April 6th, making this our sixth Easton Open to date!

What: Easton Open Spring 2025

Where: South Suburban Sports Complex

4810 E. County Line Rd, Littleton, CO 80126

When: April 5 – 6, 2025

Why: We love these events because along with uniting all the academies as one Easton, they provide a valuable stepping stone to other competitions like state tournaments and national championships.

Twice a year, the Easton Open brings the entire Easton Training Center community  — and increasingly, schools from all across the Denver metro area — together for a two-day celebration of growth, excellence, and community in martial arts.

What started as a modest, in-house tournament in the early 2000s has now grown into one of the largest and most anticipated events of the year, with over 900 registrations at our most recent Open this past April 5th and 6th, making it our biggest event yet.

The Easton Open offers a unique experience for everyone, no matter what side of the mat you’re on. Day one featured a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu tournament, where twelve mats ran all day, hosting over 500 athletes this spring — from first-time white belts to seasoned competitors.

Day two shifted gears into a Muay Thai scrimmage, this time with over 100 athletes competing across three mats, one of which is dedicated to our incredible youth divisions.

Each Open is the result of months of preparation, with planning beginning six months out, starting just after the previous one wraps. It’s a true team effort: over 100 volunteers, including referees, table workers, and coaches, come together to create an event that runs smoothly and delivers an unforgettable experience for competitors and spectators alike.

Whether it’s coaches helping students navigate their first match or volunteers working behind the scenes, the Open is a reflection of our community at its finest.

And it keeps growing.

This year, we saw more athletes than ever: Longmont sent over 40 competitors, Boulder brought over 60 adults alone, and Denver registered nearly 100 athletes, both kids and adults. And that’s just three out of eight of our academies!

What’s even more exciting is that since we opened up the event to outside schools in 2024, more people continue to show up ready to compete, bringing even more energy and talent into the mix.
