Martijn Ooms is an example of perseverance and a real black belt attitude!
Martijn Ooms started learning Taekwondo in 2004 with Pedro Tânger at the Erasmus Universiteit in Rotterdam.
Just an orange belt when Pedro Tânger went back to Portugal, Martijn Ooms was decided to carry out his training and set a precise goal to ebcme a black belt. How?
For a few months, he trained together with Jasper Jelsma but it was in June 2005 that he went to spend 3 and a half months to Portugal with the only purpose to train and get his mind and body in harmony.
And so he did and got back to Holand with a green belt and a lot of energy to continue training.
That is when he shared al his knowledge with Jasper Jelsma and both started training together almost every day.
Pedro Tânger went to Rotterdam a few times to share some more knowledge with them and grade them in the Songahm System.
Even though Martijn Ooms had to face difficult times, he never gave up and maintained his focused on his goal. His "Black Belt Attitude" made him reach it.
In March 2007, Martijn Ooms went to Portual for an intense and energy guiving training camp wich recharged his batteries to go back to Rotterdam and share his knoweledge.
Today Martijn Ooms is leading the Rotterdam school, together with jasper Jelsma and he is going to pass his blackbelt exam next November!
