Was it a 'Fight Club'?
Cops break up JC fracas

IF you thought fight clubs existed only in movies, think again.
First brought to the fore by Brad Pitt and Edward Norton in their 1999 film Fight Club, the concept of clubs, formed for members to fight for fun, appears to have arrived here.

In May, The New Paper reported two such incidents which were recorded on video by students from two secondary schools.
They were allegedly involved in a 'fight club' - where students fought one another for the camera.
In those cases, the fights happened on the school grounds.
Last Tuesday, yet another face-off took place here.
This time, a group of students from Anglo-Chinese Junior College (ACJC) gathered at the carpark of an HDB estate near the College.
The New Paper learnt from students at the college that at least 20 to 30 students were at the carpark to witness the fight.
And, despite the school imposing a gag order on staff and students, a number of students claimed that a 'fight club' exists.
They said that the group consisted mainly of first-year students.
The New Paper found two blogs written by students which also mentioned the fight club.
MANY MEMBERS
One first-year student told The New Paper that he had heard from friends that the club had more than 50 members.
He said: 'Some of them were involved in this fight club probably because they thought it was fun.
'Most first-year students should have heard about the club's existence.'
Another first-year student added that the incident occured at a multi-storey carpark opposite ACJC.
She said that most of the students were there as spectators and did not actually fight.
Although she wasn't present, she had heard from a friend that there were both boys and girls at the scene.
'We heard that the students dispersed quickly when the police arrived,' she said.
When contacted by The New Paper, ACJC principal Kelvyna Chan said that there is no fight club in the college.
'ISOLATED INCIDENT'
She described the face-off at the carpark as 'an isolated incident of mischief', and said that the students involved had been reprimanded and counselled.
The police confirmed that the incident took place on 19 Sep.
A resident contacted them last Tuesday about a fight at the carpark.
A police spokesman said they received the call at about 4.20pm. When officers arrived at the scene, they spotted students 'running into a nearby school'.
The spokesman added that the police had used the carpark's CCTV cameras to help identify the culprits.
The police have been in contact with the school regarding three students involved in the fight.
No weapons were used.
