LAKEWOOD, Colo. — Doctors said she would not live past 30 years old. Fast forward two decades, and Anita Liuzzi just turned 50 — and is now a karate master.
The Lakewood resident, who has a form of muscular dystrophy, just became the first person in a wheelchair to earn a blackbelt at 5280 Karate Academy Foundation. The nonprofit has been around since 1998, and is on a mission to make martial arts more affordable and accessible. "[I wanted] to show that, just because you're in a wheelchair, does not mean you can't go for a black belt," said Liuzzi, who will now teach classes at the school."It just takes a lot of time to do."
In the video above, you can watch Anita earn her blackbelt, and also enjoy seeing her take me down with almost too much ease.
