How white supremacist fight clubs are building covert far-right militias

A new report details the explosive growth of neo-Nazi groups using fitness to build ‘shadow’ armies
White supremacist groups using the guise of fitness and martial arts to attract and grow their numbers are effectively creating a new militia network, with dozens of chapters forming in the US, Canada and across #Europe within just three years, according to a newly published report from extremism researchers.

At least 46 so-called “active clubs” – which publicly promote “brotherhood” and training in combat sports and fitness while covertly advancing fascist and neo-Nazi agendas and preparing for large-scale violence – have sprouted in 34 states between 2020 and 2023, according to the report from the Counter Extremism Project.
