Cape Town is heaven for outdoor sports addicts - climbing Lion’s Head for breakfast, an epic surf session for lunch - but last Monday I tried an indoor sport for dinner: boxing! I signed up for a free Boxing Fitness class at The Armoury Boxing Club - and loved it. Best de-stressing exercise so far… 

Besides that, since our notorious Dutch ‘quality’ news paper De Telegraaf told me yesterday that I’m living in the most dangerous city on earth (“more dangerous than Mogadishu and Bagdad”, just saying, and: “taking the wrong alley at the wrong moment might be fatal”), I’d better be prepared. ;-) 

No seriously, boxing is great fun. And not for sissies! Really, those lessons can be tough. At the Armoury you can pick whatever class you like: from Boxing Fitness (to build speed, stamina and strength) and Psychical Training (including Kettlebell exercises!) to Skills & Sparring (against opponents) and Squad Runs (to improve speed and stamina).
