"These so-called active clubs are a loose collective of neo-Nazi mixed martial arts groups that gather at local gyms and parks to train, tapping into existing gangs of white nationalists or adjacent organizations. Global authorities view them as perhaps one of the most organized and pernicious domestic terrorism threats, emanating from far-right political ideologies. Active clubs are exploiting the assassination of Charlie Kirk for recruitment purposes, specifically urging white men to join the movement, said Joshua Fisher-Birch, a professional analyst who researches the far right."
"Heidi Beirich, the executive vice-president of Global Project Against Hate and Extremism (GPAHE) and a longtime expert of American white supremacists, agreed with Fisher-Birch. Kirk's assassination has become a rallying cry for some of the most extreme elements in the US, meaning neo-Nazis and white supremacists, she said. We will likely see more of these pro-Kirk protests by extremists in the coming days."

Global authorities consider them among the most organized and pernicious domestic terrorism threats from far-right ideologies. These clubs are exploiting Charlie Kirk’s assassination to recruit, explicitly urging white men to join and portraying the killing as evidence of anti-White and left-wing oppression. Online posts and neo-Nazi accounts have urged violence and used graphic imagery to pressure recruits. Experts predict increased pro-Kirk extremist protests and continued recruitment efforts in the coming days.
