WELCOME!
​
We are back for the 3rd annual Scenic City Open in Chattanooga, TN!
The last two years have been absolutely amazing! I could not have imagined it going any better in our first two runs of the event. Scenic City Open is a jewel of a karate tournament in one of the most amazing tournament venues in the country - the Chattanooga Convention Center located in downtown Chattangooa and nestled among scenic mountains views along the Tennessee River.
​
SCO is a NASKA 3A national event and is poised to be one of the most exciting events of 2026! As a Truth Entertainment event, our team prides itself on providing elite and fair competition, quality customer service, and a positive event experience.
We are looking forward to hosting you and hope you will join us for a fantastic weekend of sport karate!
Best wishes and good luck!
