The Spa Royal Hall in Bridlington will welcome dozens of Martial arts experts, for what is thought to be the largest gathering of World Masters on 13 and 14 May.
Groups of experts will be flying in from around the world as well as from all corners of the UK to compete and judge the competitors.
The event has been organised by Stuart Hicken, who is head coach at the Bridlington Martial Arts and Fitness Centre and also an international grandmaster himself.
The two day seminar will cater not only for experienced martial artists but for those new to the sport.
There will be something for all the family and all styles of martial arts.
Mr Hicken said: “It is not just about the masters, we welcome all federations, associations, clubs and the public. It is not about competition, nobody will be shown up. It is about sharing knowledge.”
The sessions will cover a range of martial arts, including karate, judo, kung fu, tai chi, tae kwon do and MMA.
“Martial arts are known for helping with willpower, self discipline and self confidence and for being one of the best sports for children because of the discipline.
“The weekend will play an important part in the economic role for Bridlington as many of the attendees will be booking accommodation and seeing what the town has to offer.” added Stuart.
Mr Hicken added: “We are doing this for our town and our sport and we are so passionate about what we do.”
The event has been kindly sponsored by ERYC.
