Active Wall in Shades of Orange Highlights Ongoing Operation 'Fight Night' at Unnamed Club
In a shocking turn of events, a suburban San Diego professional wrestling venue played host to an Active Club event on August 30, 2025. The event, which featured combat sports fights and performances from two neo-Nazi bands, was later confirmed to be part of a movement that champions violent and racist ideas.
The venue, which operates as a professional wrestling school during the week and is available for rental for events on weekends, was identified by researchers from SCRC and confirmed by Bellingcat using videos and images from the wrestling school's YouTube channel and Peerspace page. A photo posted by the hosts of the Active Club event further confirmed the location.
The international Active Club movement, founded by American neo-Nazi Robert Rundo, focuses on using fitness, fighting, and fashion to recruit young men and boys into the far right. Collaborations with other Active Clubs and neo-fascist organisations serve as important cultural events for the far-right to grow their sphere of influence.
Since 2023, Bellingcat has been tracking and geolocating annual "fight nights" held in the US by white nationalist groups. This event, part of the SoCal Active Club chapter, was no exception.
The musical performances from the two US-based neo-Nazi bands were praised by the hosts for "really topping the event off with incredible energy." However, one of these bands had a member involved in a lethal 2012 mass murder. Wade Michael Page, a former member of one of the bands, murdered seven people at a Sikh temple in Wisconsin before taking his own life in what US authorities called a hate crime and a terrorist act.
A current member of the other band that performed at the Active Club event pleaded guilty in 2012 to attempted involuntary manslaughter and served prison time for his crime.
In a disturbing turn of events, members of one of the Active Clubs that organized the combat sports event participated in an alleged assault in Huntington Beach, California two weeks after the event. Video footage of the assault taken by The LA Ten Four shows at least two of the attackers wearing SoCal Active Club t-shirts.
The same orange wall and black banners with orange trim, visible at the Active Club event, were also visible in a video posted on the school's YouTube channel two weeks before the event. A wooden ceiling beam, with wires on the left-hand side, was visible in both the venue's YouTube video and the photos posted from the Active Club event, providing further evidence of the event's location.
These revelations highlight the dangerous and violent nature of the Active Club movement and the need for increased vigilance against the spread of extremist ideologies.
