Far-right fight nights are events bringing together combat fighting, extremist bands and merch, in an attempt to bring in new recruits and solidify existing relationships. @colborne.bsky.social locates the latest event for a California-based group: www.bellingcat.com/news/2025/09...

Shield Maiden - Chartreuse , living in a lemon-lime world! @shieldmaiden7.bsky.social

My guess is Lakeside or Santee (AKA KLANTEE), and not ACTUAL San Diego. Just a guess.

Although the organising groups publicise their operations to their followers, owners of the venues used for these events are often unaware of what is happening behind closed doors or who the organisers really are.

Photo of the venue used in this event. Reads: Charles Smith, who rented out the venue told Bellingcat that he was not aware that the space was being used for an Active Club event. He was told by the event’s hosts that the booking was to shoot “an active fitness clothing brand prototype commercial”. “I was informed that there would be a small audience of people that would be being used as the ‘crowd’ for the filming and that it would include women and children,” Smith told Bellingcat.
