Greetings!

Hi to all!

For starters I'm a 20 year old bloke from Finland. My concrete experience in martial arts limits to MMA which I trained about six months before going to army. I got back few months ago and now I have just tried to get real fit. Martial arts trainig has been very limited, I have only punched shadows and a heavy bag. But since the day I started I've been very interested in fighting and self-defence in particular. My problem is that in my town only chance for me to study self-defence is reading books and wathching training videos, and that's a real problem as you all know. Certainly we have a night life here which in alliance with so called troublemakers would make an great traning field for street survival, but "unfortunately" thats not an option for me, cause I'm looking forward to join the police force of Finland. I'm looking forward for some good tips from here and maybe someday I move somewhere where I can train my brains out!

I hope that my english wasn't too bad and you guys get some sense out of it!

Big thanks to all for the good acceptance. And for Tony: your offer sounds like a dream come true. In the beginning of this year I even tried to get a job from my friends company in UK to come there and train. Unfortunately recession got in the way. But your offer will definately go into consideration if it's a possibility!!
