In a Nutshell

Chinese monks display high-kicking kung fu mastery during choreographed performance at historic venue

The Fine Print

Like practicing the piano while leg pressing another piano, martial arts help develop strength and discipline simultaneously. See martial artists bolster bodies and minds with this GrouponLive deal to see the Shaolin Warriors at the Mayo Performing Arts Center. For $15, you get one ticket valid for select seating in the balcony or orchestra – based on availability – on Friday, November 30, at 7:30 p.m. (up to a $35 value, including all fees). Doors open at 7 p.m.

In a monastery at the base of Mount Shaoshi in central China, 20 Shaolin monks practice martial arts for five to six hours a day. They have trained in physical and mental disciplines from a young age, allowing them to perform fantastic feats such as lying on spikes and sitting through a Ken Burns documentary. During a globetrotting kung fu spectacle, they demonstrate the ways of their temple to audiences of all ages through a day-in-the-life performance. The serenity of traditional morning meditation and chanting transforms gradually into something far more vigorous. The ensuing show of acrobatic, defensive fighting choreography often supplements the monks’ physical discipline with staffs, axes, and daggers.

Mayo Performing Arts Center

During Hollywood's Golden Age, The Community Theatre was the crowning achievement of Walter Reade's chain of New Jersey movie palaces. By the 1980s, after five decades of movie screenings and catastrophic popcorn wars, the theater sat in disrepair. Concerned citizens banded together in 1994 to save the historic building from a sad end, and in May 2011, after a series of renovations, the theater officially changed its name to the Mayo Performing Arts Center. The venue currently hosts more than 200 performances a year, occasional art showings, and performance-arts education classes for adults and children.

The Groupon Guide to: Types of Forks

The fork is one of the most important inventions of recent years, and since its debut fork makers have pushed themselves to be better fork makers, creating more than thousands of specialized forks. Here's a small sampling of the forks available in these fork-rich times that we live in:

  • Salad fork
  • Side salad fork
  • Soup fork
  • Swork (combination fork/sword)
  • Corn fork
  • Cutting fork
  • De-fatting fork
  • Finger fork
  • Baby fork for babies
  • Baby fork for small adults
  • Brork (fork made of bread)
  • Tork (toasted brork)
  • Flossing fork
  • Forkington M. Forksmith, the Fork with Plenty of Personality
  • Four chicken bones held between your knuckles
  • No-Chork™ the Fork That's Safe to Swallow
  • A stick, or nature's fork
  • Anything, because a fork is just whatever helps you get food from outside to inside your body

This year, I'm thankful for all these forks.
