About Fight Club

The modern security environment challenges every element of our defense community to either adapt rapidly, or risk being overtaken by a growing set of hostile actors.  Whether on active service, or working in industry, policy, research, or academia, every defense professional can benefit from the enhanced training, education, familiarization, and testing, provided by wargaming and simulation technologies.   

​

Fight Club was created to support and facilitate improvements in the scope and scale of wargaming and simulation usage and development.  Our organization was created in the belief that an accessible and enthusiastic community of volunteers can make a real difference through combined efforts and mutual support.

​

In practice, this means we come together to run events, tournaments, wargame design activities, social gatherings, and peer-to-peer learning groups.  We also work directly with partners in industry, defense, and academia in support of their efforts to progress wargaming and simulation.  

​

In order to do this, we actively invite members from a variety of backgrounds with a broad range of interests and skills.  While Fight Club is led by a team of Directors, supported by our 'Warrior Council' advisory panel, we operate a very flat hierarchy wherein all members can propose, develop, and contribute to projects and activities.  In this way, we can avoid the constraints imposed by conventional R&D and procurement processes.  

​

Doing all this via a global network requires solid communication and collaboration tools.  Our main resource is ‘Discord’; a free online coordination and messaging service that is extremely popular in the world of online games and media.  All Fight Club members gain access to our private ‘Discord Servers’, from where they can further engage with the FC community.
