- killbert24, on 05/01/2008, -4/+80I'm surprised it took so long for people to make a Fight Club. Too bad these asswipes already blew it. Rule number 1-- you do NOT TALK about FIGHT CLUB!
- joshmoney, on 05/01/2008, -0/+50I am Jack's crushed computer keyboard.
- RyogaVee, on 05/01/2008, -0/+48I'm actually a member of this fight club. I was there and in this piece when ESPN came to film us. I'm the one that took the elbow to the Kidney.
~ Ryoga Vee - carlos259, on 05/01/2008, -1/+33Geeks kicking the ***** out of each other.
Will watch:) - Nuganics, on 05/01/2008, -2/+34Is this real or a joke?
- nukethewhales, on 05/01/2008, -1/+25Every other 15 days? You mean like once a month?
- Prototek, on 05/01/2008, -0/+22This isn't just a fight club, it's a weird integration of fighting and nerd culture. You can sense the subtle nerd apprehension towards women when they are hitting each other with women's purses and magazines. They also have the triforce on the garage floor.
- fulibs, on 05/01/2008, -1/+22DAMNIT, somebody broke the 1st and 2nd rules!!!
- inactive, on 05/01/2008, -0/+14You should really try sparring sometimes. It's great fun and brings you alive.
- RyogaVee, on 05/01/2008, -0/+12Thats why we have masks. However, it only protects our mouths and fends off serious head trauma. Other than that, everything HURTS and is VERY real!
- Magillicutti, on 05/01/2008, -1/+12Supposedly they did it before the movie. I dunno if he read the book or something though?
- mentallyinhell, on 05/01/2008, -0/+11Yeah, but they all look lame in comparison.
- DrummerAndrew, on 05/01/2008, -1/+11Ok... that is NOT a big screen TV they're gathered around.

You are a strange, strange man. - ZoomBoy, on 05/01/2008, -0/+9Are you the guy getting a dust buster to the face?
- krets, on 05/01/2008, -1/+10Pussy.
- chanop, on 05/01/2008, -4/+13older than the interwebs
- D43PAN, on 05/01/2008, -0/+9WOW! How completely natural did that 'meeting' seem at the beginning. That looks like the most annoying room in the world.
- Celeron, on 05/01/2008, -0/+9This club is actually real. It was covered by TechNowTV a couple of months ago, since the club was targeting the engineering and high-tech community of the Bay Area.
- RyogaVee, on 05/01/2008, -4/+12Very real, I'm in this video!
- inactive, on 05/01/2008, -0/+8*These "pansies" will beat the ***** out of any average man. Anyone with 0.5 - 1 year experience of any kind of fighting will beat the ***** out of average person.
*Real fight, I mean real fiucking fight is nothing like a fight you've seen in movies/TV shows/etc. Real fights are dirty and not as entertaining.
*Well and finally, they have jobs and families outside of fight club. They fight not to kill/hurt but to release energy, so they use stuff that is not gonna hurt very bad - alexkball, on 05/01/2008, -2/+8Haha these nerds are terrible at fighting. Additionally, it says this club predates the movie, which is true, but it doesn't predate the book, written 2 years prior.
- superkendall, on 05/01/2008, -0/+6Helmets are a practical reality for someone who makes a living using their brain. It's not they are all covered in armor.
Let's see you take a hit to the groin with a Brass Martha and see how wimpy you think it is. - inactive, on 05/01/2008, -0/+5You're a serial killer. admit it already.
- rasmasyean, on 05/01/2008, -0/+5Actually, if you knew anything about melee combat, a purse is a perfect easy implement for a "flail", one of the oldest and most devastating weapons. The idea is a high velocity weight that is hard to deflect (because it reaches around shields and swords in the old days, and if it hits you, it can destroy your armor). Being hit with a purse with lead in it is much worse than a broomstick….especially if you get hit in the head it’s like Mike Tyson hit you…pre-incarceration.
- RyogaVee, on 05/01/2008, -4/+9 Oh yeah, video games, Thats so much more of an active life.
- ahawks, on 05/01/2008, -0/+5Part of me knows I'm too big of a pussy to do that.
The other part really wants to. - fejjfunklamella, on 05/01/2008, -0/+4Dugg for innovative weapons like lead-filled handbags.
- FearlessFreep, on 05/01/2008, -0/+4I would think that if you did Muay Thai seriously than it's probably a lot more vicious than this, at least the competitions. This looks pretty interesting and has a certain appeal ('underground', few rules, misc weapons, anyone can do it, etc...) but most of the Muay Thai I've seen is pretty violent.
- joebaloney, on 05/01/2008, -0/+4So, what the hell do you do if you get your teeth knocked out? I don't want to be a toothless programmer.
- inactive, on 05/01/2008, -0/+4It could connect more with pay periods than actual months
- bigfinger, on 05/01/2008, -0/+4I'd go, I live in Milpitas, and work in Pleasanton at a cube farm and I can feels these walls closing in.
- xombiefarts, on 05/01/2008, -0/+3I was thinking this was going to be a parody. Would have been better to see some scrony/fat nerds trying to fight. Some one make this!
- ahawks, on 05/01/2008, -0/+3Your 2 suggestions are:
1) get laid
Women aren't the answer to everything. This is about finding your primal roots. I suppose ***** could help with part of that.
2) play a video game
The idea is doing something REAL and primal. A video game is as far from that as you can get. - RyogaVee, on 05/01/2008, -0/+3its actually bigger in person. i found that funny too.
- RyogaVee, on 05/01/2008, -0/+3Well, the pain is real!
- RyogaVee, on 05/01/2008, -0/+3No, im the one taking the elbow to the kidney.
- TheRealM3D, on 05/01/2008, -0/+3What may be just as effective for you might not be nearly as effective for someone else.
I am a well-balanced 20-something professional who volunteers in my local community and has a happy marriage. I'm also involved in MMA and enjoy the physical and mental challenge of fighting another man. Just cause you like to watch TV and play tennis doesn't mean other people can't have "violent" interests. - darthbator, on 05/01/2008, -0/+3Hey it's Gin's fight club! This is actually one of the satellite groups involved in "Dog Brothers Real Contact Stick fighting". Taboo on the Nat Geo did a special on them as well as a much longer special on the Dog Brothers gatherings (large stick fighting events where tons of guys from all over america just like these folks gear up and beat each other down).
- hansonc, on 05/01/2008, -0/+3anyone know what the hell "every other 15 days" means? is this a new fancy way of saying "once a month"?
- inactive, on 05/01/2008, -2/+5For some reason I was picturing chicks w/ fake boobs duking it out. I guess my mind is still stuck on that 'What Guys Really Think About During Class' zone....
- RedSaber, on 05/01/2008, -0/+3I think I'll start one here in Quebec city... Oups... I think I just broke rules 1 and 2.
***** rules anyway. Rules are for pussies. :P - cawpin, on 05/01/2008, -0/+2A collapsed face doesn't count as "serious head trauma"?
- ChristianMagic, on 05/02/2008, -0/+2Well just be sure not to talk about it.
- RyogaVee, on 05/01/2008, -0/+2I agree
- mtxrawkus, on 05/02/2008, -0/+2I think its awesome that they've been doing it for 10 years, not just one time. All of the haters - Give 'em a break, they are having a good time and not hurting anyone that doesn't want to be hurt.
- superkendall, on 05/01/2008, -0/+2Actually I could see the group passing that along with a straight face to a producer, as a kind of a joke for people smart enough to know what it meant.
- thcobbs, on 05/01/2008, -0/+2Sex works wonders for me. And it takes a lot less time.
- soulkitchen, on 05/02/2008, -0/+2Dugg for facial collapse.
- rasmasyean, on 05/01/2008, -1/+3I would imagine that "nerd fight-clubs" are the only ones that last due to the fact that these people are intellectual and have control. Other fight-clubs would have had people who took things too far and got personal. Non-nerd fight clubs would colapse too fast so it would never become a phenomenon.
