Trampoline park wild
One of the best ways to spend an evening after a long day of studying is a game of trampoline dodge ball with your friends. If it sounds sounds fun to you (which it most certainly should) trampoline park “Wild” is a place for you. Numerous trampolines varying in difficulty and size accompanied by pools filled with foam cubes (which are surprisingly hard to climb out of) or walls you can jump on Mission Impossible style. Just remember to wear a long-sleeved shirt and knee-covering pants or for the next few days some mundane tasks can feel a bit painful. Get a virtual tour and book your visit here.
Tampere Historical European Martial Arts
If you are tired of more conventional ways to increase your strength and stamina, the Tampere Historical European Martial Arts club opens it doors to you. Longsword, dagger, arming sword, spear… There are plenty of weapons to master, and in addition to learning how your ancestors settled arguments, you get to know people who are very passionate about history and historical combat. All in all, it’s an interesting and unique experience, worth a shot, that can be your gateway into the exciting world of historical martial arts.
Tampere has a lot to offer and this blog post is by no means a comprehensive guide to all sport opportunities. Don’t be afraid to explore it yourself, ask around or even create your own club. Stay healthy and happy!
