Greetings from Finland, everyone!

Hi!

I'm a 20-year-old history student from Helsinki, Finland. I heard of this forum elsewhere on the internet and thought that it might be a good place for some animated and friendly discussion on the topic of martial arts.

I'm still a beginner, my experience consists of one basic course in European Longsword (Fiore) and I'm currently practising Seven Star Praying Mantis Boxing (Qi Xing Tanglang Quan), going on my third month. I still have a long way to go in endurance, flexibility and power, but thankfully improvement happens quickly at my level.

Thanks!

It depends on what you like and value, of course. I really like nature here, during all times of the year, but it does get pretty cold in winter. Societally, taxes are high and social benefits are manifold. Your basic welfare state.

I like it.

So would "Carol, the hands of doom" translate to "Joululaulu , Kädenlyönti -lta Tuomita" in Finnish? :lol:
