SPOTLIGHT On... Robert J. Ott
8.27.2010 - At the age of six, Robert Ott put on his first martial arts uniform. Little did he realize that this uniform was going to be a uniform of life. By the age of sixteen, he had earned his first degree black belt. Two years later, he became the Chief Instructor of the Dragon Gym under Grand Master Goh Chae Teok, and went on to operate his own school. In 1990, he was the victim of a violent crime that left him completely blind as well as without the ability to smell or taste. Worse, the tragic incident erased his passion to make a difference in life. After several years of searching and questioning, he began to discover purpose in his life once again. Today, he is a motivational speaker, father, and martial arts instructor. In his biography, Certain Victory, he shares his story and addresses several issues, including disability, being a victim, financial loss and depression. You can meet Robert Ott at the Collingswood Book Festival. And find out more about him when you visit his website, www.certainvictory.com
