Aside from climbing out of rattlesnake-infested quicksand or posing for rattlesnake-infested watercolor portraits, few activities combine the focus and physicality seen in mixed martial arts training. Use today's Groupon to shape up without meeting a snake: for $20, you get one month of unlimited adult martial art and fitness training classes from Next Edge Academy of Martial Arts on South Marion Road (an $85 value).

Next Edge's experienced instructors offer a variety of self-defense athletics and mixed martial arts classes, including MMA, judo, combat hapkido, and more (view the full class schedule here). World Championship medalist Bruce Hoyer teaches Jiu-Jitsu using a class structure that combines general instruction with individual training to hone grappling skills and train up formidable ground-fighters. Muay Thai--a stand-up practice that requires full use of all the limbs you can spare--aids individuals interested in pursuing an avenue in mixed martial arts or simply getting in shape, while those looking for a diverse, pounds-shedding workout can attend Next Edge's fitness classes, which employ a combo of cardio, free weights, and body weights to force the unfit fluids out of the body. This Groupon also gets you half off any equipment purchased at Next Edge during your month of mixed-up martial arts.
