Congratulations to Fife’s leading all round ambulant physically disabled sportsman Connor Brown from Dunfermline, following another Para kata Grand Prix success at Ravenscraig on Saturday.
The former Woodmill HS pupil rounded off his most successful year to date with a 4th Para kata gold medal and the 2019 individual trophy as overall Grand Prix Grand Slam Champion. A most fitting end of season outcome for a very dedicated young sportsman whose commitment to daily strength and conditioning is exemplary.
Connor is coached by Paul Giannandrea at the very inclusive JKS Scotland club in Dunfermline. Paul and his team promote karate for players of all levels of ability including those with additional support needs. Connor has been a club member for many years and has been inspired by club members and coaches to commit fully to the training regime expected of high performance karate players.
Dedication and commitment have paid off across a wide range of sports including track and field and cross country as well as Para kata. Connor (T37 and F37) is also a member of Fife AC where he is coached by Steve Doig.
