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: Collectible Trinkets

No mantel, shadow box, or garbage bag in the attic is complete without a display of valuable collectibles, appreciating exponentially with each passing year. You may already be a millionaire if you collect any of the following:

Beanie Babies: These limp, boneless animals are a college tuition waiting to happen.
Most Valuable Beanie Baby: Lillehammer, the ’94 Winter Games herring

PEZ Dispensers: It turns out these valuable treat scepters are more than just miniature tracheotomy patients that dispense a candy tasting of equal parts chalk and soap.
Most Valuable PEZ Dispenser: Rare Darth Vader with Kermit the Frog’s eyes affixed to the top of his helmet as a result of factory error

Hot Wheels: Small? Sure. Cars? Definitely. These small cars look just like regular cars—but smaller.
Most Valuable Hot Wheels Car: The 1981 Pioneer Ferrari 308 GTB—shrunk from a full-size car using experimental technology—that contains a now-tiny Vice President Mondale who was just sitting behind the wheel for a second to take a photo
