Just be friendly, direct, and honest. Just tell her there is a tournament coming up and you would love to compete.

You seem like a socially anxious kind of person. I am too. It's a hard obstacle to overcome. Look at this as part of martial arts training. Being confident to ask something of an authority figure is one small step. At the heart of Karate is self defense, and in any self defense situation the confidence to not shrink into the corner is important. Your teacher should be a friend as well, so you don't have to worry about asking.

Probably something like "Sensei, if it's alright with you, once my ankle has healed, I would like to compete for the school. Do you think i'm ready, and if I am, would you help me find a competition and prepare?"
