Across the US, the Active Club network uses combat sports to lure boys and young men into white nationalist circles
A neo-Nazi fight club that secretly infiltrated a Tennessee martial arts school where young children train has been banned from the facility, after an inquiry by the Guardian.
Last month, the South Central Tennessee Active Club published video footage on the messaging app Telegram showing its members participating in combat training at Shelbyville BJJ Academy, a Brazilian jiu-jitsu school in Shelbyville, Tennessee, that offers classes to students as young as three years old.
The group is part of the wider Active Club network, which consists of dozens of decentralized cells across the US and abroad that use combat sports to lure people into white nationalist and neo-Nazi causes.
I kind of hate bluesky, but smashed the follow button for IntelTwink as soon as I read that username.
Active Club is an arm of Patriot Front. Patriot Front had a huge leak of data in 2022 (400GB).

I’m seeding this on a permanent basis. I have a gigabit uplink. Please leach and share. Expose these nazi fucks.
Thank you for your service.
You know you’re on a winning side when need to ‘lure’ people to your cause. Just when you think they can’t get more pathetic, they target kids. Fucking losers
They’ve always targeted kids.
Good on The Guardian for showing the Confederate flag as a symbol of white supremacy, and next to the word ‘neo-Nazi.’ US media often shies away from acknowledging it, because so many people in the south get extremely offended if you point this out.
Won’t anyone think of the poor
white supremacistsI mean poor southerners who care about their heritageDaughters of the Confederacy successfully rebranded the war to own people as a states’ rights issue. It was never about racism and slavery, you silly goose. /s
Yeah I am aware of how the white supremacists have rebranded the war where they explicitly stated it was for slavery into being about “””””states rights”””””.
Insert angry goose meme: “States’ rights to do what?”
Flash forward to 2025 and these same fucks are cheering a federal takeover of California and trying to convince the rest of America to agree to ban state regulation of A.I.
I’m sorry if I hurt the racist snowflake’s feelings.
In Tager’s story, the bartender shows zero tolerance for Nazis even if they’re being peaceful and he gave a powerful answer why.

This is just dumb. A 3-year old isn’t going to learn anything useful at a BJJ school. I hope that it’s really just daycare and parents aren’t being overcharged thinking their toddlers are learning self-defence.
“What makes them unique is the ‘wolves in sheep’s clothing’ approach, which aims at fooling law enforcement into believing Active Clubs are just about sports,”
Sure, it’s “law enforcement” who they’re fooling, because otherwise “law enforcement”, especially “law enforcement” in rural Tennessee would step in to protect the population from the racists. Right?
Also, shouldn’t these racists be focusing on HEMA, not a Brazilian version of a Japanese martial art?
teaching lil guys footwork and tumbling is a great idea, idc what you call it
*edit unless you call it something nazi bc you are a nazi, then i’m against it
A 3 year old just learned how to walk. Tumbling is natural for them, it’s avoiding tumbling that’s the issue.
I’ve been to that part of Tennessee, I’m surprised one bit
This would never happen in Springfield.
This feels like the start of a Karate Kid reboot.
Karate Kid Kicks Back. KKKs Back for short.
Well hello there fucknuts.
Oh no, now we have the con-fediverse?!?
