Default Where to start?

I want to start boxing, but I'm not rich or anything. I don't know what I need to do. Do I need to find a boxing school or something? Will I need to buy a punching bag? Is boxing classes expensive? Do I need to join a boxnig gym or something. Thanks.

You asked the same question twice. If you want to learn how to box, doesn't it make sense you go to a boxing gym? Is it expensive? Go to the gym (or call them) and find out.

Seriously though, go and check it out. We can't tell how good a place is by looking at a web site (a pretty shitty one at that)

you should go check out the gym and observe a class, but don't be intimidated if you see things that you can't do..that's why there are classes and trainers
