Jose Bencosme former San Jose State Judo team captain, 5 times Florida State Champion, 3 times California State Champion, Collegiate National Champion, 2000 Olympic alternate , 2004 Olympic qualifier, ranked top ten at 73kg., 81kg., 90kg., and Open Weight class!

Jose is currently teaching a kids program in Judo, as well as cross training in BJJ with good friend Dave Camarillo (Jose holds the rank of purple belt) and is considering both a try at MMA as well as a run at the Olympics in 2008.

Jose Bencosme recently gave a seminar at One World Martial Arts (www.OnWorldMartialArts) in Fremont, CA and he was kind enough to share both a technique with us and some insight on what it takes to excel in Judo, the transition between Judo and other arts and his personal plans for the future. Check out the videos!

Jose was the first have of a double header seminar, we'll bring the second half of later this week.
