Get Ready: Self-Defense Workshop with Tuff Love

September 14 · 11am – 1pm PDT. Doors at 10:50am
322 Frank H. Ogawa Plaza

(Part 1 of our Get Ready, Stay Ready: Building Our Power 3-part series)

We’re holding space for safety — and you’re invited!

In these times, we know how important it is to feel safe, strong, and supported. Join us for our Get Ready: Self-Defense Workshop with Tuff Love, part of our Get Ready, Stay Ready: Building Our Power 3-part series!

  • When: Sunday, September 14th at 11am–1pm
  • Where: 322 Frank H. Ogawa Plaza, Oakland, CA 94612
  • Registration is required
  • COVID safety practices in place  

This special class will be led by the Tuff Love Fitness team, including Mollii Khangsengsing, the first Laotian woman to receive a black belt in Brazilian jiu jitsu.

This workshop is for you if:

  • You want to feel more physically and mentally confident protecting yourself or others
  • You believe in communities that look out for one another
  • You want to practice in a supportive and fun community

Together, we’ll:

  • Learn effective self-defense basics
  • Practice grounding techniques to stay present under pressure
  • Celebrate the strength we already carry

No experience needed—just bring yourself (and a guest if you’d like!). Whether you’re new to self-defense or want to refresh your skills, this is a space to learn, connect, and build confidence.

Space is cozy, so register here soon!

Your safety, your presence, your power—it all matters. Come move, learn, and build community with us.

We hope to see you there!
