Hi everyone,

​I am a 6th Kyu in Shotokan Karate. Due to a recent change in circumstances, I am currently training independently, mostly adaptive (focusing heavily on kata and kihon as I compete in kata) while recovering from an injury.

​Before this, I was training under a smaller, independent federation. As I look to join a new, WKF-affiliated club next year, I have a few questions:

​Will my current 6th Kyu rank typically be recognized, or will I be expected to re-grade or catch up on specific syllabus differences?

​Since I am actively keeping up with my kata and basics (adaptive) during my injury recovery, what can I generally expect when transitioning into a new dojo environment?

​Any advice or experiences from those who have switched clubs or federations would be greatly appreciated.

​Thanks!

Hi guys and gals,

I am working on a small 360 card cube and I would like some advice for it is the first time for me to build a cube. I am focused mostly on graveyard/cycling strategy. What shall I remove and what should I include?

Thanks 😊

Hi everyone,

I’m currently without a club or coach after leaving my previous club following a safety-related issue and a tri-malleolar ankle fracture this January. I’ve been focusing on recovery and rebuilding my training step by step.

Today, my ankle is able to handle high stances again (adaptive), and I’m preparing to compete under my own name for the first time in an E-Kata competition.

I’m currently a 6th Kyu and have chosen to perform Heian Shodan. Given my recovery and current focus on control and stability, I feel confident performing it.

Looking forward to taking this step and continuing my journey.

Thank you for reading.
