On Friday, August 7th, 2026, the beautiful Albany Capital Center will be transformed into an elegant lounge-style atmosphere for an evening of celebration, connection, and recognition. With ambient lighting, music, refined décor, food, drinks, and a relaxed formal setting, this night is intended to give our martial arts community something we rarely get during tournament weekend—the opportunity to truly enjoy each other’s company without the pace and pressure of competition.

Doors Open at 6:30 PM

Throughout the evening, guests will enjoy:

• Food and drinks
• Socializing and networking with fellow martial artists, school owners, judges, staff, and long-time friends
• Special awards and presentations
• Longevity recognition for individuals who have helped shape the event over the years
• Recognition of past champions, scholarship winners, demo team champions, and memorable accomplishments from North East Open history
• Interactive contests and community voting celebrating favorite memories and moments from past events
• Professional photo opportunities, including red carpet-style photo ops
• A limited-edition commemorative gift for every guest in attendance

This evening is designed to be both meaningful and memorable—a reunion-style celebration honoring 20 years of friendship, competition, and tradition.

Formal attire is requested.

The reception is primarily intended for adults and teens, though mature younger guests who appreciate the atmosphere of a formal event are welcome.

THIS ISN’T A SEMINAR.

IT’S WHERE HOLLYWOOD ACTION MEETS REAL MARTIAL ARTS.

LEVEL UP YOUR SKILLS. REAL MARTIAL ARTS.

HOLLYWOOD-LEVEL EXECUTION.

A rare, live, in-person training experience led by Alain Moussi — internationally respected martial artist and star of major martial arts action films. For one special event, you’ll step inside the world where real martial arts mastery meets Hollywood action — not as a spectator, but as a participant.

This experience is built around movement, energy, and timing — the elements that make martial arts feel powerful, fluid, and alive. You won’t just watch how action is created. You’ll feel the coordination, intensity, and rhythm that make it real.

And when it’s over, what stays with you isn’t just what you learned — It’s the fact that you were part of it.

• Live, in-person training with Alain Moussi, drawing on decades of real-world martial arts mastery and professional fight performance
• Hollywood-inspired action sequences grounded in real striking, grappling, takedowns, and movement mechanics
• Movement concepts that make techniques feel smoother, faster, and more powerful, regardless of style or experience level
• A high-energy experience that adapts to you, not a rigid syllabus — creating breakthroughs at any stage of your martial arts journey
