In Haute-Corse, only one representative of the sports world: the Dojo Club Brando by Sylvie Giorgi Iozzia. « I called our animation Meeting sharing ” emphasizes the president of the club. ” These words speak for themselves and mean many things at the same time. It was through the Corsica League of Judo that I got wind of this SOP. The league invited us to follow the action and I decided to register our club because we share these values here. Just because you have a disability doesn’t mean you can’t exercise. And I speak knowingly. My final goal, with the support of the Cap Corse Handicap association, is to take a delegation of FFJDA licensed children to the 2024 Paralympic Games. »
