Fight Night brings brawls to the CUB

WSU Student Entertainment Board hosted the annual Fight Night in the CUB Nov. 5. Fight Night is an event meant to showcase the defense clubs on campus. At the event, they offered demonstrations of judo, Brazilian jiu-jitsu and three types of fencing–épée, foil and saber. People filed into the event to watch students compete and potentially win raffle prizes by betting on the winner of the matches. SEB even hosted a midway demonstration, showing the audience what it looked like when non-trained people tried the different sports. SEB said it was excited to bring this day to life, especially spotlight programmer, Hussain Akoum. “I want to give a chance for the combat sports organizations, whether that be on-campus clubs like fencing or judo, to really connect with the students, and that even includes, despite not being on campus, the V7 martial arts dojo,” Akoum said.
