🥉Pan-Ams 🇧🇷 & Qualified for the 2026 World Cup 🇨🇳 1st Canadian Team to Qualify for the Karate World Cup 🇨🇦🫶🏻———despite how success looks on the outside, it can be different for a lot of people. i’ve been dealing with some major injuries for the past 2.5 years now and they’ve been effecting my decisions, training, & personal life. i think i’m finally starting to realize that no result is worth a journey you do not enjoy. to enjoy something, you must freely choose it. i hope i’ve finally learned enough to start prioritizing my health and not let external timelines dictate my choices.there will always be another opportunity, another competition. opportunities open in sequence, that doesn’t mean you have to follow them. sometimes the best thing to do is step away, especially when you don’t want to. thank you to my 2 teammates, karate alberta, my sponsors: Link Industrial technologies & @champ2champ.ca (the brand who cares most about their athletes), our immediate families & my closest friends who genuinely care 🫶🏻another amazing trip, thanks to the people who made it special ❤️ —- here’s to getting healthy & choosing what I want 🫡 by @nathan.yuki

defeat is glorious in 9 years, this is the first time i’ve competed at nationals and returned without an individual medal or making the individual national team roster•I’ve been quiet on socials since October because i’ve been lost. i wasn’t sure what to put out there because i wasn’t sure myself. i’ve been lost amidst the chaos of injuries, health, burnout & decisions. •the new competition rules proved challenging, but regardless of what people say, at the end of the day it all falls to you. time to re-evaluate and accept the challenges ahead. •this loss is not discouraging, but rather eye-opening. while the path ahead is not clear, i’m grateful to be able to experience this 🙇‍♂️•congratulations to my teammates & competitors. special congratulations to @harukimori__ for his performance 🥇 🙇‍♂️ happy for you all.•Thank you all who continue to support me even in loss ❤️ •🔜 🇧🇷 PKF team kata by @nathan.yuki

Sr PKF 2025 - Team🥉 -a great taste of what’s possible☝️-despite my persisting injury weighing me down, we’re able to make it here 🙏🏼. let’s continue to grow & adapt. I’ll keep putting in the work to heal so i can be at 100% again someday🫡-❌Individual: while not the desired outcome, after a close match with Venezuela (40.10🇨🇦 vs 40.30🇻🇪) this has shown me that i’m on the right path. -🥉Team: i’m incredibly proud of where we came from & our performance at this competition. lots of compromise & sacrifice went into this. this is only the start, we’ll keep climbing!! 📈 -thank you to everyone for another great experience, it’s all the memories and friendships that make trips special 🫡---Thank you: @karatecanada @karate.alberta @arawaza_intl @bell @ippondojocochrane @isabelswitt Link Industrial Technologies ❤️-📸: @jrlarroche by @nathan.yuki

life’s a grind.🥈18 months & 2 surgeries later — we’re finally back to competition ❤️ (and it’s nationals!)senior kata🥈senior team kata🥇 u21 kata 5tha little disappointed with the results — but considering the circumstances, i think i did alright 🫶🏻. it’s nice to know that despite some setbacks, obstacles can be overcome!grateful to come back with presence right out of injury, especially with minimal allotted training time. over the past year i’ve done everything in my power to get back to this, and while i’m not there yet, this is a good step 📈it’s taken a lot of sacrifice (and will continue to), but these sacrifices are not from me alone.a huge thank you to my physio @isabelswitt for keeping it real during this rehab. thank you to my family, teammates, sponsors, friends & coaches who support me and make decisions with me in mind ❤️My knee rehab & competitive career is far from over, we’re just getting started. Qualified for Sr PKF in Monterrey, Mexico for Individual & Team on the Sr 🇨🇦 Team 🔜 Pan Ams 🇲🇽 📸: @ash.lyn.ng @bballsmall by @nathan.yuki

Round 2 ✅thankful to my physio @isabelswitt for pushing to get this done & to Dr. Heard, his team and hospital staff for getting me in quick and operating on Christmas Eve🙏🏼was having some issues with the knee so we decided to get it cleaned up. local freezing followed by the removal of the suture end on the lateral meniscus which had been irritating my femur & causing irregular swelling around the knee whenever i’d do basic movements! also removed some scar tissue under the knee cap whilst getting to watch the whole surgery live! (pretty cool for a kin student 🤙)although this is a small setback, my rehab should now be accelerated as i won’t have to take a step back every time i step forward🤞Would never have guessed i’d be into my second surgery just 41 weeks after the first one and yet so grateful for everything that’s happened since being injured 378 days ago. Time for a short bit of rest then back to it. I’ve grown so much from this and I couldn’t be more content with the journey i’m on. Merry Christmas y’all ❤️ by @nathan.yuki
