Ty Wetzel, a junior at Walter E. Stebbins High School in Dayton, exhibited his expertise by securing First Place in weapons forms, First Place in Kata, and First Place in Kumite (Sparring). Ty, a member of Tama's Black Belt Team, started his martial arts journey at Tama Martial Arts at the age of 8. Today, he not only excels in his own training but also dedicates himself to helping other kids build their confidence. Ty plans to pursue a degree in Business in college, with the goal of enhancing his teaching abilities and management skills at the studio.
