Like Clockwork: An Orange Wall Exposes Yet Another Active Club 'Fight Night' -- Bellingcat

https://www.bellingcat.com/news/2025/09/15/active-club-fight-night-2025-san-diego/

Graphic images in the Bellingcat story.

The organisers of an annual combat sports event allegedly told the venue owner that they were using the space to film an activewear commercial featuring a small “crowd” including women and children.

In reality, the event hosted on Aug. 30 by SoCal Active Club was part of a movement that champions violent and racist ideas. It featured combat sports fights and performances from two neo-Nazi bands who each have had a member involved in lethal violence, including one for a 2012 mass murder described by the former US Attorney General as a “heinous act of hatred and terror”.

Evening Vigil Turned Into Alleged Assault

Two weeks after the combat sports event on Sept. 13, members of one of the Active Clubs that organised it participated in an alleged assault in Huntington Beach, California.

Members of Patriot Front, SoCal Active Club and other far-right and neo-Nazi groups took part in an evening vigil in Huntington Beach, in the Los Angeles metropolitan area, in honour of assassinated right-wing commentator Charlie Kirk.

According to reporting from the event by The LA Ten Four, a newsletter covering issues surrounding first responders in the Los Angeles area, the man who was attacked was a vigilgoer who confronted the far-right group along with several others, calling them “un-American” and “traitors” and following the group into a parking garage.
