Shifting Sands Dojo updated their business hours.
Greetings friends and family. After much thought and deliberation I am saddened to have to announce that Shifting Sands Dojo will be closed due to Covid-19. The nature of submission wrestling and kickboxing always means sweat will be exchanged between parties. For those of you who have been coming during our 8 years of business you know we train hard and leave it all on the mats. That being said, we cannot continue to operate in good conscience with the possibility that we will contribute to a contagion. We are also going to use this downtime to relocate the dojo. Because of the uncertainty of how long this nationwide shutdown may last and the fact our lease is up this month it seems like as good a time as any to look for a new location (maybe with a functional bathroom!). This is a lot to take in and it has been on mine and Fernando’s mind for days as we’ve debated what to do. Rest assured we love our art and we will return. We’ll keep you all updated and hope that when we resurrect the dojo you will all come check out the new digs. You can’t stop ninjas!
