We’ve had a breakthrough!

Hand to Hand will be able to remain in our current home for the next two years, and we now have a path toward a future space at the East Bay Meditation Center.

This is an incredible step forward for our community—but it also comes with new financial commitments, including increased rent, building a new training floor, moving costs, and scholarship support.

Thanks to this community, we’ve already raised over $14,000 toward our $46,000 goal.

We’re deeply grateful—and we’re still building.

H2H community, friends, and extended family ❤️

We want to take a moment to thank you for the support you’ve already shown—through messages, donations, and simply showing up. We feel it.

Now we’re asking for your help to carry this forward.

After 46 years in our Oakland space, Hand to Hand is being asked to leave its home. We have a short window to move and secure a new space—at significantly higher cost.

We’ve launched a GoFundMe to support this transition and keep our work accessible through sliding-scale classes, scholarships, and community self-defense programs.

We’re aiming to raise $46,000 for 46 years.
Every donation—and every share—makes a real difference.
