Hi,

I am interesting in learning boxing, no experience just beginner. It would be nice to find somewhere in Espoo or Helsinki city center to learn boxing. If you know such place or your friends know, please feel free to share the information. Thanks!

It's not a very efficient 'sport' - research shows that one can achieve equivalent results of brain damage and disease by running your head against a concrete wall at about 60 km/h - but you might have to do it 5 times consecutively to achieve the same 'result.'.

Looks like you should sign up to play a bit of 'American Football!' The cheerleaders are prettier than the Mafia mugs sitting in the front rows of the boxing arenas.

Are you more interested in fitness boxing or combat boxing? Would Finnish as training language be a problem for you?
