Cory Kadlik has never let being blind stop him from golfing, skating, learning martial arts or riding a dirt bike. He had his doubts when it came to fencing. “I never even knew this was possible,” Kadlik, 19, of Medway, Mass., said as epees clanged and coaches barked out instructions in the gym of Perkins School for the Blind. “I’m on Twitter, and I mentioned that I was going to be in a fencing tournament and I had 10 replies saying ‘Blind people can fence? Really? No way!’ Yeah, anything is possible.” Kadlik duels today in what’s being billed as a first-of-its-kind match between students at schools for the blind.The Associated Press/AP photo
