We are TUFF...Tidewater Female Fighting. This is about women being or becoming athletes involved in safe, sane, entertaining real submission grappling with modified rules to cut down on injuries. We are MMA sanctioned by the International Sports Combat Federation and USA Wrestling. We are serious MMA fighters. Our women have discovered what a rush it is to compete in this way, and love to fight. We train the women to defend themselves, and their matches are all real. NOTHING is staged. Keep that other stuff on the other side of the street. If you have any doubts, check out this article on the top women's MMA website.

Our form of combat is submission wrestling/grappling when we do live shows, but when in the gym the women sometimes do MMA striking on the ground using MMA gloves, but never to the face or head. The object is to make the opponent "tap out." They use headlocks, scissors, stretches, triangles, and other finishing moves to defeat their opponent. We train as often as possible, usually nights and weekends. The training is free. NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY.
