I want to start martial arts or boxing but I don't have a club in my town?

I live in a small town and there are no boxing/martial arts clubs anywhere. I'm 18 and would like to start boxing or martial arts for working out. Is there anyway I can do this if I purchase a heavy bag, speed bag,gloves, etc? Ok maybe not a specific martial art but just practice different basic techniques and different styles etc.

Hope you find a decent club, you will be suprised at how many clubs are close by (unless you live out in the sticks lol).
Reply:You can certainly "teach" yourself some basics however you'd never be able to consistently learn proper technique and form and you would develop a lot of bad habits.





Try and find something somewhere near you....if you want to learn it'll be worth the travel time!
Reply:Of course man! That is all you need. Go buy yourself a boxing bag, set it up in your garage, buy some bag mits and you're set!
Reply:Get education+career first then move to another town. Until then you can work on strength, speed, power, etc.
Reply:Get Dvd's from the internet and train yourself.
Reply:Train from a book for now then you have to venture out of town.My Sensei hitch hiked 150 miles twice a week in the 50's because there were no schools in Indiana so persevere man dedication is the key,he is a Master now with about 20 schools.
