I'm sure there's one, but one where I can actually learn. I don't know.
I'd really look into that...there HAS to be a decent gym out there....Unlike martial arts, boxing is not known to have "mcdojos", so I'm pretty sure there has to be a spot somewhere in the cut....

lol, it's not easy.

Ah the kicking, It's really over emphasized imo. Can you really quick someone who you can't punch? Not if they keep their distance. It's really a combination of philosophies, which is what makes it obtainable. Take what there is and apply it to what you have

To be honest i seen some muay thay on youtube and the kick can either be the set up to the punch or vice versa..but it gives you a clear advantage against most people who only using hands..
An unexpected kick can set up a lot
