Hi everyone,

I’m a Shotokan kata competitor from Malta and currently a 6th kyu. I’ve been competing for a few years and had a strong 2025 season (multiple medals across Europe).

Earlier this year, I suffered a trimalleolar ankle fracture and I’m currently in recovery. I’ve been cleared to gradually return and I’m training at home for now (mostly kihon and kata with controlled stances while I am still under physio guidance).

My plan is to return fully to dojo training and compete again next year.

Since I’m currently training solo, I’m considering online coaching with a high-level WKF kata athlete (based in Europe).…
