Training in Ramadan

Although I'm quite sure I'm the only muslimah kenshi _at least at old Europe, I'm hoping some sis read this.

Two days ago I had my first training day during Ramadan _technically it's my first Ramadan, as suffering a cronical illness and being under medication, I've been excused for years.

And I have to say, it wasn't as hard as I expected. You only have to ensure hidrating yourself enough the day before and choosing the most proper time to attend trainings. I belong to a morning group at my local dojo, but this special month I asked for a change to a later time.

I kept the form _more or less ;) for 2 hours and a half, even joining gi geiko, and finished just a moment before sunset to break my fasting with dates, almond nuts and orange juice. Needless to say, I jumped onto them ;DDDDD

Moments like that make my kendo practice worthy of the effort. I'm perhaps the worst kenshi all over the world, but, you know, if I can hold the shinai even fasting, then tehre's no limit at all to keep breathing under the men gane.

Kami no Akbar! :D
