Hello Ryan and Stormy and everybody at the gym, This is Ty Schwab and I wanted to write to you guys to thank you for allowing me the opportunity to train with you guys. I am really enjoying myself and the instruction has been top notch and I feel that I have found my true love in the martial art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. For a long time, even before I lost my sight I have always been angry, mad all of the time and scared and since I lost my sight that has been the case and as of late I have been scared and angry. I looked for a martial art that would help me better deal with life and all that it throws at me and until now I have not found that martial art and now I have found it in BJJ. The only time that I have not been angry or scared is when I have been in the gym at NWMA training with all of you. I can go home after class and not feel angry or scared and I owe that to you guys. I just wanted to say thank you.
Sincerely, Ty Schwab


I want to personally thank everyone at the gym who has help create the environment to make someone such as Ty feel so welcome.  Thank You
