Shifting Sands Dojo

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!

The dojo is open regular hours today. See you all tonight!

Kick the new year off right! 515 kids class, grappling at 6, workout at 7.

Killer turnout for the holidays! Great times all month at the dojo. We'll be closed until January 2nd and then back at it. Let's kick 2020 off in the same fashion that we finished 2019. Great people, fun workouts, and a ton of martial goodness :)

Super special workout tonight, 7pm, weights and bodies

The dojo is open tonight, November 11th

We had a great dojo slumber party with the kids class last weekend :) This photo is from our walk to get cookies from Rude Boy on Harvard. Fun times and a great group of kiddos.

No Class October 31st, this Thursday, due to Halloween (The instructor has kiddos who need candy!). Go Trick or Treat!

Get off the couch and into the dojo! Last night we had a great time grappling followed by an intense strength and conditioning routine. See you soon!

A sad but happy Tuesday (6th August 2019). Great fun, food and drinks with friends and family. We'll miss Prem so much! Thanks for all the hard work you put in to making us ninjas, and the fun times we shared!
