Tuff Love Fitness is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit providing accessible and affordable self-defense, martial arts, and fitness training for people in Oakland and the surrounding San Francisco Bay Area. We were founded by female martial artists with the goal of promoting martial arts for populations that may be underserved by many traditional martial arts programs: women, youth, elders, the BIPOC and LGBTQ+ communities, and assault survivors.

​

Our nonprofit also sponsors Tuff Love Self-Defense and Four Elements Fitness.
