Hm. Anyone know anything about http://kravmagainc.com? The specific school, I mean? I've heard about the art and the former Marine in my office speaks well of it. I'm asking about this specific school because Groupon is running a special on them today- $39 for four lessons, $75 for eight- and I'm curious about whether this is a good idea.

's fair enough. Turns out one guy in this office took lessons there in the past and he says they're pretty solid, so I'm gonna give it a try, with the four lessons for $39. (He says his original lessons cost him $30 each, so four for $30 is a bargain.)

I only practiced for like... a year and change so it's not like I'm all old and wise and martial. But my instructor was very down-to-earth and practical in his approach, and I did get a look at some schools in my area who trained to win competitions and see the difference.

But I also met someone with a lot more, er, practical experience and higher-level training who told me that something my instructor had said to deal with a certain situation was inadequate. (Also showed me what nerve to go for in that situation instead of just giving up. :P)

So it really depends not just on what you learn there, but how you fit it in and where you go next.
