A disturbing trend is emerging in the U.S. with the proliferation of neofascist youth clubs that seek to groom young individuals into embracing racist ideologies. These active clubs, which combine elements of fitness and martial arts, often reference historical fascist movements for inspiration. Recently, the main neofascist network has been promoting these youth clubs through their social media channels, showcasing adolescent participation in mixed martial arts and sharing bigoted content. This recruitment strategy poses significant risks as it taps into popular culture and seemingly mainstream concepts of masculinity.
The emergence of youth-oriented neofascist clubs across the U.S. is raising alarm as they groom the next generation of racist activists, combining fitness with far-right ideologies.
These 'active clubs' are seen as one of the most dangerous forms of far-right organizing, drawing on historical fascist cues while recruiting youth through martial arts.
