ARLINGTON, Texas The video shows two bare-knuckle brawlers brutally punching each other until one slumps, beaten, to the ground. The fight doesn’t end there: The victor straddles the chest of his fallen opponent, firing rights and lefts into his face.
This is not a scene from the Brad Pitt movie Fight Club. Instead, it involves real teenagers in an underground video called Agg Townz Fights 2. Their ring: the grassy schoolyard of Seguin High School here. They’re engaged in a disturbing extreme sport that has popped up across the nation: teen fight clubs.</p>
<p>(I have heard rumors of them in our city- egad)</p>
<p>at least its a club and theyre not hurting anyone but themselves.
boys will be boys. they will be going home with bruises and their parents will have to ask questions. (these aren’t children of delinquent parents–the article says they are from affluent families)
i think this is just a case of hormonal imbalance–a teenage thing. clearly the parents need to get involved in their kids lives and ask why the kids have so much pent up rage. perhaps take them to anger management classes.</p>
<p>I don’t know if it was a “fight club”, but at our high school boys were having scheduled fights off campus (usually between boys who were having a problem with each other). Supposedly, these fights were scheduled so that they wouldn’t be suspended from school, if the fight occured away from campus. The police started hearing about these (attracted huge groups of kids to watch) and they started breaking up the fights and taking the opportunity to search cars, etc—kinda stopped after that (or went further underground?)</p>
