karate kick

Who hasn't had dreams of being a superhero, swooping in and saving the day. That dream was realized for one woman in China. The young girl single-handedly disarmed a woman wielding scissors with the most impressive karate kick you will ever see. Best of all, the entire amazing feat was caught on tape.

The scene was straight out of a movie. Innocent people passing on the sidewalk were being terrorized by a woman waving around scissors. And for some reason, this particular girl -- sporting what looks like hip leather shorts, knee-high socks, and a vest -- felt the need to intervene. There were a few tense seconds as the pair checked each other out, circling like two cage fighters getting ready to pounce. As the girl gets closer, she unleashes a kick worthy of a Charlie's Angels flick and the scissors fly to the ground. Totally cool.

Who hasn't dreamed about putting all those Tae Bo class moves to use outside the gym? The scissors-wielding woman was so startled, she fled. She clearly didn't want to risk sticking around for what was next. Check it out.

Do you think you'd be brave enough to do the same thing?
