The names and logos of their Telegram channels appear at the top and bottom respectively (SoCal Active Club and Clockwork Crew). The scene radiates the energy reminiscent of an intense MMA fight.

Last weekend was a busy one for SoCal Active Club and Clockwork Crew, with wannabe mixed martial artists from both neo-nazi groups participating in separate MMA tournaments.

On Saturday, August 24, SoCal Active Club sponsored their third annual punch and kick fest in the Inland Empire. Down in the Imperial Valley, Clockwork Crew’s co-founder got his clock cleaned (again) in his third bout on the amateur circuit.
