A far-left fight club operating in Toronto is promoting proactive confrontation and training for political violence, drawing no blowback from Canada’s legacy media.

The self-titled Proletarian Fighting Arts Collective based in Toronto, combines mixed martial arts training with what it describes as “political education, organizing” for “community defence” and “collective power,” rather than operating purely as a gym.

The group is connected to a network of far-left organizations, including the East Scarborough Tenants Union and several pro-Palestinian groups such as Palestinian Youth Movement, Just Peace Advocates, and the Canadian Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions coalition.
