Karate meets dentistry

Hope the two arts are not too closely connected...

On the other hand - getting your teeth fixed may be easier if you've accidentally done a face block during class.

Story:
51-year-old Merced resident Amilton Barboza combined two loves -- karate and dental work -- and now operates two businesses from one location.

"I have a passion for both -- the dental lab and I like martial arts," he said.

Barboza, a native of Montevideo, Uruguay, developed an interest in karate while in elementary school. He has a fourth degree black belt and was honored by the U.S.A. Martial Arts Hall of Fame as the Shotokan Man of the Year in 2005.
