Passionate About Karate

Florida -- Panama City Beach resident Guilherme Santos is really passionate about karate. The sport is not only teaching the young man discipline and self-defense, it also helps him walk.

"Gui" was born with a divided spinal cord, so his left foot doesn't lift when he walks. Karate has helped, according to wjhg.com.

"He has a very positive attitude," his karate instructor said. "I have never seen him get frustrated or give up, I can't really put into words how to describe his motivation. He never seems to be put out if he can't keep up with the other students, he is always giving it his best."
