Good martial artists use rigid discipline and honed technique to succeed, but great martial artists use zen-like mind tricks to convince their opponents to forgo aggression and instead recreate the sound of one hand clapping. Defend yourself with today's Groupon: for $35, you get an introductory krav maga class (a $19.99 value) and one month of unlimited self-defense and fighting classes (a $119 value) at Ultima Self-Defense and Fitness LLC (a $138.99 total value). This Groupon is valid at either the Thornydale Road or Speedway Boulevard location.

Highly trained instructors at Ultima call upon droves of professional and practical experience to instruct students in the ways of krav maga, mixed martial arts, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, and other functional fighting styles. Classes focus on the practical methods of self defense with technique-based styles such as krav maga imparting crucial skills to men and women of all fitness levels. With fitness and cardio built into the lesson plans, students sweat out fear while learning to deal with muggers or overly aggressive national monuments. Students earn multihued cummerbunds to signify their progress through courses such as Brazilian jiu-jitsu or keep the focus on fitness in Kravfit/kettlebell classes. Future adults learn the respect and discipline in kids classes, where technique is reinforced through practice and fun activities.
