Saturday Night Fights

This night, Barnaby's bar and restaurant was a martial arts hotspot as people of all ages gathered to an all ages event in which, fighters from as far away as Idaho and California gathered to compete in eleven mixed martial arts matches.

Of these 22 competitors, the Gentleman's Fight Club brought two to the table, Michael and Forrest, each fighter, new to the cage.

Though, this was a martial arts event, one match stood out before the fighters even reached the ring, this was the boxing match midway through the card. In this match, the Gentleman's Fight Club's own Michael stepped in to the ring and, though he didn't take the match, his performance was stellar and the match was a star match of its own with each boxer bringing powerful fists to one another.

The other fighter from the Gentleman's Fight Club was Forrest, another fresh fighter to the cage and, like Michael, also full of enthusiasm and energy. He was the first fighter to step into the ring on this night and was also the provider for the high level of energy that carried through the entire night! Again, the true professional spirit of the Gentleman's Fight Club had decided to shine through as this match, ended within fifty-four seconds and saw Forrest walking away with his first win due to a TKO.

The Gentleman's Fight Club had an excellent night, as did the Tri-Cities based Northwest Elite Martial Arts and the Sun Valley Crew, but, most importantly, Walla Walla was given an amazing gift of entertainment by 22 talented individuals that wanted nothing more than to compete and to live their dream. A thank you goes out from Beginner's Mind Martial Arts to all of the competitors that took a chance and lived!
