Alexa Schwichow is on her side on a mat, and she has her jujitsu instructor in a clock choke--one leg across his hip, her knee against a shoulder blade, a hand under his armpit.
Feeling her way through the darkness that has been her world since birth, she tugs on her instructor's arm, and he rolls onto his back.
Alexa is blind, but learning seems to come easy--whether a martial arts exercise or a new Braille skill--for the 11-year-old, who will enter 6th grade in the fall at Johnsburg Middle School in McHenry County.
