To our former and inactive students,

You Are Missed — We’d Love to Welcome You Back

I hope this message finds you in good health and high spirits.

I am writing to express how deeply you are missed at our school. It is completely understandable that life's circumstances can become overwhelming, and priorities often shift. Please be assured that your connection to our school remains strong, regardless of any temporary leave of absence.

If you have been away from training, do not worry about “catching up” on your own. Our team is committed to providing you with the support and guidance you need to review, rebuild confidence, and ease back into training at your own pace.

What matters most to us is not where you left off, but that you feel valued, supported, and encouraged upon your return. Our community is built on the principles of respect, patience, and growth—and you remain an integral part of it.

If you have been considering a return, we extend to you an open invitation. Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions, concerns, or to simply let us know how you are doing. We would be delighted to see you back on the mat.

With respect and appreciation,
ERIC SWICK
