A Winning Tradition Since 1946

The Yosh Uchida Legacy Foundation believes in the transformative power of judo paired with higher education. Through the San Jose State University Judo Program, we support the development of character, shape lives and build champions by supporting student judo athletes in their pursuit of academic and athletic excellence.

Did you know that more Olympic medalists have emerged from the SJSU Judo Program than from any other judo program in the United States? With the Summer Games returning state side to Los Angeles in 2028, SJSU Judo has a once in a generation opportunity to continue building on its incredible Olympic legacy. We believe that the next American to win an Olympic judo medal is being developed right NOW in our dojo while simultaneously pursuing higher education. You support goes a long way to ensure they have everything they need to continue our winning tradition.
