Texas -- 9-year-old Cat Farrior lacks chest muscles, but that doesn't let stop her from taking home trophies in the art of the bo (a martial arts staff), according to newsok.com.
The sixth-grader has turned martial arts practice into her own physical education component after other sports activities reportedly failed her.
The karate student was born with a rare condition called Poland's syndrome, in which chest muscles are absent or underdeveloped.
Her instructor planted the idea of studying the bo staff in the youngster's mind since she couldn't spar for fear of dislocating her shoulder.
