Who We Are
Heavy Hands Heavy Hearts Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to making the streets safer for everyone by instilling youth and young adults with the confidence to resist the temptation of gang and gun violence.
Founded in 2017, we use fitness training, mentorship, and robust systems of accountability to transform the lives of our participants. We are supported by our incredible network of partners and community members.
Why Fitness Training?
Fitness, and specifically combat sports, has had an incredibly positive impact on the lives of our staff. Our coaches have been practitioners for most of their lives, many with competitive experience. Our commitment to showing how fitness can improve your life rises from this lifelong passion.
Through fitness, our participants gain self-confidence, respect, discipline, and are held accountable not only to higher standards for how they conduct themselves, but also for reaching their goals.
