So what do you guys think? Personally, I don’t have a problem with it. If two people want to fight, then let them, hehe.
In three words I can sum up everything I’ve learned about
life. IT GOES ON.
Let them do what they want. I don’t believe such a thing should be regulated by the law.
I don’t get mad.
I get stabby.
Personally, I don’t think these people should be allowed to fight entirely unsupervised. Fighting can easily cause serious injuries if one of the participants, or neither participant knows what he or she is doing.
If people need a license to drive, I think they should need a license or something to fight, as well. I think we should have some sort of organization that will make sure no one gets hurt in these things if they remain popular (I bet they won’t, though). Kinda like MMA!
We have something similar called Rebel Familia here in LA - it’s been around for a while, maybe ten years or so. However, I think their matches are more like boxing than fighting.
Some guys approached my teacher about joining a fight club they were forming. Not one of these guys had any fight experience, while my teacher grew up rough, and has fought quite a bit. He politely declined(He told them, “Look, you don’t want me in your fight club.”) 
WP thanks for the article. I believe if those guys want to fight they should be allowed. What they are doing is probably more like sparring than anything else. But then again that just my opinion.
Use what works not what looks pretty.
Why do we need fight clubs? Don’t we already have amatuer boxing gyms and kungfu schools, and karate dojos, and judo teams, and…
You get the picture.

I see no real benefit from such a thing. Clubs like this are too close to becoming gangs. And if somebody gets hurt, it’s not like it’s a pro fight or tournament. It’s too personal.
Sounds fun, where do I sign up?
Just a couple of more Mormons on drugs.
It’s that or the Crystal Cathedral I guess? hahahahahahahaha.

The first rule of fight club…you do not talk about fight club.
“There is no try…do, or do not.”
heheheheheh

Once again, for your reading pleasure: the REAL meaning of Fight Club.

Gano_b- That was classic
Its not what goes in a man that defile’s him, its what comes out.
I don’t like it. If you want to fight, get in a ring or at least with supervision. Anything else is rather immature in my opinion (and I say that because I too have done my share of tough guy crap)

Fight Club
Ganob, rules have changed, we can now talk about fight club. I guess the reason why I don’t have a problem with it is that they are free to make their own choices, legal or illegal,(It’s all a judgement call, anyways). If they are willing to fight bare knuckle and risk possible injury or death, then they should be prepared for the consequences. Anybody know of any around Dallas? 
In three words I can sum up everything I’ve learned about
life. IT GOES ON.
Hmmm…
In the sense that they all know what the consequences are and still agree to do it, I have no problems with it.
Considering that there are a bunch of such clubs at my school and my friends and I have been asked to participate, I’ll give you a few thoughts(pro and con) about these clubs.
They’re better than street fights that are settled with blades, bottles, and bats.
All participants know what they’re getting in to.
People can be pressured to fight.
Most people are untrained, have no control, and there are no medics on hand for broken bones or KOs.
Once rules are implemented, people may look to fight elsewhere without rules(generally not good).
They are often loud and can become annoying to neighbors.
There is no way to check participants for blood born pathogens(diseases), drugs, physical conditions etc.
Parents often don’t know and then trouble starts.
Minors can be pressured/ duped into fighting adults(18yrs+) This has legal problems all over it.
There is no way to control the mob/spectators.
People can bring “friends” to take on other friends. Gang war anyone?
It keeps people from shooting up schools(Santana is still in my community’s memory)
These are just a few thoughts. I like the idea but it is VERY risky. I’m actually thinking of going to one in a few weeks(they have to find a place to hold it where they won’t get in trouble) to check it out. I’m not sure if I’ll fight but I want to see what it’s like. I just hope no one asks me to fight. If I go, I’ll let you guys know about it. That is, if anybody cares…
