Do we say "I'm going for clubbing" or " I'm going to clubbing"

Just have a query why we don't say "to clubbing" I mean going to clubbing is a movement, right.
so as per your suggestion is this correct, "I'm going clubbing with my friends."

Hi Hardworrk,
Going to clubbing is not a movement. Going clubbing means 'Going out to a/some club(s)'.
'I'm going clubbing with my friends' is correct.
