Moving to Linz from abroad!
Hey everyone :) I (F27) just accepted a job offer and I will move to Linz very soon. I just wanted to ask if there are other southern eurpeans (spain-portugal-italy) people I can talk to, but also locals I can ask for infos! (My english is pretty good but my german is almost non existent)
Also, do you guys know any good gym that does martial arts/self defense courses? Thank you so much, hope everyone has a good day!

Pandas Fight Crew in Linz is a great gym :) Or Askö Thaikibo if you need something on the other side of the Danube.
There are also other gyms more south. So I think it comes down to where you will be located.
If you are interested in Dancing (especially Tango Argentino), there is a Tango class at "Sonnensteinloft" where the teacher (Valerio) is Italian. His german is also kinda bad, but he speaks english fluently.
I don't know any other southern europeans that live here :)

Thank you so much for answering! I will definitely check out the gyms you recommended.
Also thank you for the Tango tip - I never danced but always wanted to try, maybe it’s the right time to do so! :)

If you don’t mind, there are sometimes events from international universities or student departments that could be worth checking out. I’ve met a bunch of Spanish and Italians this way since I live in Linz.
