Description

In today's episode we are pleased to bring you yet ANOTHER Watson's Martial Arts students as well as a PhD student of physics at Wash U, the great and powerful Phil Vojta! Hailing from Germany, Phil comes from a long line of folks who specialized in the study of physics which eventually became his path when he started schooling. Having dealt with bullies in his past and needing a lesson in confidence, he began martial arts very young and that has led him to also having his black belt in judo as well as his purple belt in bjj! When he's not invested in his schooling in the classroom or on the mats, he himself is also a judo coach at White Dragon Judo Club where he looks to take judo and put it on the map for St. Louis!
