We're glad that this information is reaching a wide audience, & Phil Williams has done fantastic work covering the far right. We'd also like to note that our group originally exposed Ian Michael Elliott in 2021 & also first discovered & published the location and ownership of the compound in 2024.

Rob Rundo - founder of the neo-nazi active club movement - cries on Substack about antifa journalists trying to ruin his life: “That’s not journalism, that’s an intelligence operation with a press badge.”
Screenshot of a December 10, 2025 Substack article by Rob Rundo, founder of the neo-nazi Rise Above Movement and active club network. The headline reads “When the Spotlight Turns Into a Scope: What My Life Taught Me About Journalists, Narratives, and Power.”

Rundo writes: “You know, the real terror isn't the state... It's the swarm. People still wait for the big dramatic Gestapo knock at 3 a.m. That's not how it works anymore. Today, it's a loose, borderless ecosystem of journalists, NGOs, Antifa informants, freelance OSINT weirdos and intelligence-adjacent hipsters who all trade favors in the same group chats. One guy gets a grant from the NED, another gets a Guardian byline, a third gets to feel like Jason Bourne for a weekend. Nobody's officially in charge, yet everyone moves in perfect formation. It's not a dragon, it's a swarm of mosquitoes with MacBooks; and mosquitoes can follow you across three continents and still ruin your life.”

As bad as Thomas Grady's opsec is, his 0-6-0 record as a professional MMA fighter isn't much better. In one of his losses, he squared off against a fighter from Shelbyville BJJ Academy which, as we previously pointed out, has their own ties to Tennessee Active Club.

Ian Michael Elliott made headlines last year when it was reported he was a "friend & training partner" of an eastern TN-based Jiu-Jitsu academy. While Elliott was the only neo-Nazi named in the story, a statement from Athens Jiu-Jitsu suggested they may have been aware of "a few" bad apples.

It was implied that we knew of a member's past and background, yet allowed him to stay at our school, regardless. That is simply false. We don't do background checks on students. We can only address and take care of situations that we are aware of. We have kicked members out of our school for far less that what we are being accused of participating in. It has been brought to our attention that a few of those who WERE part of our community and school, did not align with our core values. They were asked to leave and not return. Our integrity is a valued possession and we will contine to do the right things. Thank you for your support as we continue to be active in making our community a better place."

In July, SoCal Active Club announced that TAC was under new leadership, stating that "any distasteful issues from the past"—presumably referring to Kauffmann—were "no longer involved" with the club. However, Kauffmann's Telegram profile at the time still listed him as the owner of the TAC channel.

The active club bylaws emphasize "putting athletics before activism and politics," prohibit members from giving interviews, and require that club propaganda avoid "edgy political symbols from the past"—all apparent rebukes of the antics that have brought national attention to Kauffmann.

"Member commitments" include leading an "honorable lifestyle," with any history of child abuse being an immediate disqualifier. Kauffmann not only has pending charges for felony child abuse but also has a documented history of grooming teenagers into his neo-Nazi fight club.

It states members "must not commit crimes in the name of the club. The moment a member commits an illegal act their membership is revoked."

Just prior to his March arrest, SoCal Active Club posted the "Active Club Manifesto" on their Telegram channel outlining the club network's "bylaws" and a code of conduct for members. Several of these "bylaws" appeared to be specifically aimed at Kauffmann.
