Downriver Jiu Jitsu & Fitness

Brent Insco had already roundhouse-kicked his way to a black belt in karate and trained in boxing when a car crash laid him low. As part of his physical therapy, he soldiered on in his martial endeavors and began the decade-long process of becoming a Brazilian jujitsu master. That was in 2004, and to this day he still makes frequent sojourns to San Diego to study under the BJJ legends, Saulo and Xande Ribeiro, who themselves learned the art at Gracie Humaitá, established by the creator of BJJ, Hélio Gracie.

At his own studio, Downriver Jiu Jitsu & Fitness, Insco teaches students of all ages the fighting form—a judo-like discipline founded on the principle that a small fighter can best a larger opponent, as in the tale of David and Goliath or the popular children’s book If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, It Will Destroy You. Insco’s trainers also lead fitness classes, such as Latin-inspired Zumba dance, boot camp, yoga, and Bruce Lee’s martial-arts system, jeet kune do, and work with clients one on two in semi-personal-training sessions.

The Groupon Guide to: Lifting Things with Balloons

Anyone who has seen the beloved animated film Balloon House knows that enough helium-filled balloons can make almost any object whimsically float without care across verdant fields strewn with uncomprehending cattle or directly through the extremely toxic particles that make up rainbows. What common items will you be able to lift with these quantities of balloons?

  • A Single Balloon: Common house toad
  • Two Dozen Balloons: A VCR containing a video-cassette birthday greeting to your bedridden sweetie, who cannot answer the door lest their measles leap from their face to yours
  • 500 Balloons: A couch, piano, or wrought-iron garden door affixed with decorative hen
  • Three Trillion Balloons: Titan, moon of Saturn, no longer on a deadly collision course with Earth
  • Infinity Balloons: Helios, the balloon god who—some argue—could make a balloon so floatsy that he himself would be carried away
  • -1 Balloon: These are just called rocks, and they help things float back down to the ground or to the bottom of ponds.

How many balloons would it take to move a planet out of orbit, and will there be time?
