One More Reason You Shouldn't Mess with the Handicapped: Woman with No Arms Tests for Blackbelt
May 5th 2010 12:51
Sheila Radzeiwicz has no arms or kneecaps, but she could still kick my ass. This is in part because I am a huge pansy that often receives a butt kicking from a three year old, and in part because Sheila is one bad ass chick.
After studying Taekwondo for three years, the current brown belt will be testing next month for her black belt. Despite her disability, she's able to kick through boards, and is pretty handy with her nun chucks.
The 32-year old woman has TAR sydnrome, which is characterized by missing bone in the arms, and a very low platelet count which often results in hemorrhaging.
Do you feel like a failure? Because I sure do. I have fully functioning arms, and I'm pretty sure the only thing I use them for is typing and eating.
