Brooklyn Martial Arts

Pete Lawson's passion for the martial arts is more than 30 years old, reaching all the way back to when he took his first karate lesson in Jamaica when he was 13 years old. His love for the discipline blossomed, eventually earning him five black belts, a spot in world tournaments, and the opportunity to spar against master martial artists. He also studied Brazilian jiujitsu under renowned master Renzo Gracie, one of the sons of Brazil's famed family of martial artists. As a believer in the saying "to whom much is given, much is required," Lawson decided to put his accolades and experience to good use founding and teaching at his own academy, Brooklyn Martial Arts. Today, he offers classes for all levels of Brazilian jiujitsu and mixed martial arts, preparing students for everything from self-defense to competition.

Lawson also imparts lessons of discipline and perseverance to little ones in kids' classes, using martial arts as a platform to improve their schoolwork, teach them nonviolent ways to deal with bullies, and strengthen their listening skills by having them perform pushups with their ears. They even host birthday parties for kids, where the birthday boy or girl cuts the cake with a real sword and competes in fun and friendly martial-arts-based games and activities.

The Groupon Guide to: Sounding Knowledgeable about Music

Sounding knowledgeable about music is the ultimate shortcut to being perceived as cultured and cool. Memorize these key phrases to impress even the most jaded record-store clerk:

  • “You really need to hear them live."
  • “You really need to hear their earlier stuff."
  • “You really need to hear their earlier stuff, ideally live.”
  • “You really need to hear the stuff they haven’t written yet.”
  • “You really need to hear them through $900 wireless headphones, in one of those vibrating video-game chairs.”
  • “You really need to never hear them on drugs. Why would you ruin your experience by polluting your body, man?”
  • “You really need to hear their views on the new economic realities of the music industry."
  • “You really need to hear me sound impressive.”

How can you sound knowledgeable about music without actually knowing anything?
