Martial-arts rankings are indicated with different colored belts, with yellow for beginners, black for experts, and navy blue for beginners trying to pass themselves off as experts. Defend yourself against martial con artists with today’s Groupon: for $30, you get eight martial-arts classes (a $70 value) and a uniform (a $55 value) at Okamoto’s Karate (a $125 total value), with locations in Anchorage, Eagle River, and Wasilla. Today’s deal also includes a complimentary martial-arts orientation.

At Okamoto’s Karate, martial-arts masters guide students of all experience levels through a fusion of Japanese karate and Korean tae kwon do classes, helping pupils heighten skill mastery and hone inner focus. Draped in a crisp new uniform, grown-up protégés can kick it in training sessions tailored to belts of all colors, learn protection maneuvers in self-defense classes, or study alongside siblings, kids, or pet beta fish in family classes. Youngsters separate into classes based on age, with fighters as young as 3 practicing in the Tiny Tigers class, and kids age 6–12 and teens of every rank practicing together. Classes range from 20–50 minutes, depending on age, and are scheduled six days a week, making arranging exercise as easy as breaking into a hook and loop-sealed safe.
