Martial Arts in Lakewood

If you missed your chance to wield a sword during high-intensity cardio workouts in a failed audition for the remake of Karate Kid (spoiler alert), today's Groupon gives you the secret weapon of warrior workout bliss: for $20, you get any five fitness classes at Boulder Quest Center (a $50 value). Choose one or mix and match any of BQC's fitness courses: cardio kickboxing, cardio sword, cardio boot camp, tribal bellydance, yoga, and NinjaFit.

Master Scott Carroll, a fifth-degree black-belt division leader and certified instructor for more than 10 years, helms the punchy practice. Courses incorporate a variety of styles including tae kwon do, Brazilian jiujitsu, kung fu, judo, tai chi, karate, hapkido, and seven different weapons. View a complete schedule of classes here. Lessons are taught every day but Sunday, and no experience is necessary. Those opting to continue instruction after the month can purchase a uniform at a discounted price before this Groupon expires.
