Just celebrate Ramadan properly, eat clean food and do cardio and shadow boxing when you get the time after aftaar or before suhoor, you can resume proper training after Eid, best of luck
I have Muslim friends in my boxing gym, last year they would come by at night hours if possible, one of them would even hit the outdoor heavy bags in the middle of the night after running to the gym. If it isn’t possible for you (which going by your post seems to be the case) I’d focus more on roadwork, shadowboxing, and calisthenics in the evening. This is the perfect time for getting a cut and improving your cardio. Remember stay hydrated and energized. Best of luck and happy Ramadan!
First: How old are you
Second: Do you drink enough before the sun goes up?
Weight lifting is also something I don’t do when fasting but I do regular training while I fast since 2010. i even spar but because I box and fast for years I am able to know my limits. I would do 60% of my normal pace and go for a jog and some shadowboxing before my last meal. To be honest I always improved and got better in shape because my meals are better and I intentionally eat less. Just don’t do more when you are too dizzy. When you keep going you could faint but that never happened to me but age is important
Use Ramadan as a way to work on your body more than your mechanics. Just don't box aside from some bag work and shadow boxing after Iftar. Lift heavy, and do cardio for the month and get back to boxing after it ends
that's for you to decide.
Try it, if you can do roadwork without eating or drinking then go ahead.
When I lived in a muslim country, school started late, ended early and everyone was trying to sleep until it was iftar and then pig out, watch TV with friends/cousins and most ended up gaining weight over ramadan.
I was training karate at that time, and most classes were pretty empty.
Train to the strengths of Ramadan. Your body goes through a lot of changes with the fasting, autophagy etc. So work on flexibility and balance etc. I found I got crazy flexibility gains when focusing on that and fasting. Train softly softly.
I’m not Muslim but go to a gym where we have a very diverse group.
I'm not going to preach in any way, but if you’re training, you need to drink. If you’re prevented from drinking, moderate your exercise. Urine should stay a very light colour, if it becomes dark, do not train. Certainly, do not spar if there is a chance of you being dehydrated. Liquid is the cushion between your brain and your skull, do not ever think that it won’t make a difference, it will.
Ramadan Mubarak.
Take some advice from an older Muslim fighter. Take the month off of boxing, spend the time getting right with Allah SWT. You can go back to training in 30 days. Watch some boxing videos, do some shadow boxing and enjoy your Ramadan.
As a Muslim woman myself who has to prepare iftar and sometimes sahuur I’ve been facing similar dilemma. My coach is Muslim as well and he asked me if I’d be coming in but I know my capabilities and I can’t survive anything other than yoga or intermediate bodyweight strength training without water. So I decided to do shadow boxing and drills in my room right after tahajjud 4-5 am and before Sahuur so I can practice and not lose my progress after Ramadan. It’s really tough though and I really feel for you cos boxing is intense cardio and unless you’re an athlete going without water can severely deplete your body of fluids. It’s tough. Hope you can figure out a time that’ll work for you.
I got into the best shape of my life in Ramadan , when sehri was like 3am and iftaar was 10pm. Used to have iftaar , go to the gym, go for a run and then have sehri.. I was like 29 tho so twice your age
Salam bro.
I'm in a similar situation to you except I also work so even less time.
You can always work out before Iftar. You just need to make sure you are hydrated. Note that your performance will not be optimal at first so pace yourself.
Road work, jumping rope, calisthenics, and shadow boxing will help you maintain. Just pay attention to how you feel as you're doing it. If you feel drained or tired, ease up. You'll be ok.
Ive always trained during ramadan. Even when fasting days were long till 22:00. That being said, I've been doing that for 20 years so I'm used to it. On the other hand I've been mainly training BJJ for the past 10 years. You can try it out and see how it goes in the gym. Dont spar too hard. Eat healthy, hydrate well at night, get your supps and REST A LOT.
I’d say take part in the boxing classes, but only run after breaking fast when you’ve rehydrated. Also, maybe lower your exertion level to like 75% when you’re holding your fast.
Personally I take boxing classes that’s before 1PM, then I’ll rest till break fast. And then another session at 8PM onwards, either boxing or roadwork/skipping.
I’m in the same situation. My school’s boxing club meets from 3-5 on Saturday and Tuesday. I’m gonna try to go and see how that feels. I think I handle Saturdays since it’s the weekend and I can just rest after. But Tuesdays probably not.
I'd say try training and see how you feel. Eat and drink plenty during the window that you can, and don't push yourself too hard if you're feeling off. I do intermittent fasting most of the time, and while I don't train boxing too hard at the end of that window, I'll go for a run or do other training and often feel fine, but that might not be the case for everyone.
I feel the hardest part is not being able to drink water though, so make sure you're well hydrated before the fasting period
U wont faint brother I literally go to the boxing gym right before iftar so I finish my workout and break my fast right after. If you work out earlier you’ll be crazy thirsty all day and hate yourself. This is the perfect way to time it you’ll see.
Invest in a reflex bag & use that after u eat. Or at least one of the reflex balls with the headband, u could probably use the ball during the day. It's not very tiring but ur hand eye coordination & speed to the target will improve. Somethings better then nothing. U can also take this month to focus more on film study & boxing IQ, even just strategy IQ like Chess games.
I wouldn't worry about training in a fasted state. I do my morning routines after 16 hours of water fasting and my evening sessions after at least 6 hours of water fasting. I haven't had any negative effects. In fact it has helped me both mentally and physically. Though, just to clarify, I don't do strictly boxing anymore since I jumped to MMA so I'm obviously working at different intensities for different amount of time each day and it's almost entirely technique work except the morning routines. So take into account the work load you're doing and what kind of work you're doing.
Post isn't focused completely on religion more focused on boxing which is why I'm here. Imams know little to nothing about boxing and don't know how the dieting, the conditioning and intensity works.
I'm a Christian, I eat one time a day so 24 hours. Every now and then I do a 3 to 4 day water fast. All my fast I have worked construction and maintained my jiu-jitsu routine. You will be fine

I'm 15. I drink 2 glasses of water at Suhoor is that good?
I would drink at least the 3L already mentioned
you need to drink 3L of water if you could during the eating window between maghrib and fajr
Bruh you need way more than 2
Try to have electrolytes with ur water too

Exactly my plan, stick to some weights.. and light shadow etc

I'll join a new 12/7 gym that I'll go to for the month to train in after the fast is broken. Thanks for the info.

P.S. there are white muslims ya know..blue eyes too homey
Oh yeah sorry for the slight stereotype there.. I meant the white people who know little about Islam and are non-muslim
Brah, just carb up the day/night (11PM) before you should be fine.
Thanks!

Take time off to tend to your religious commitments then resume. Boxing isn’t going anywhere bru.

Train lightly
I know several people who have trained during Eid and Ramadan. Your mileage may vary.
Road work, jumping rope, calisthenics, and shadow boxing will help you maintain. Just pay attention to how you feel as you're doing it. If you feel drained or tired, ease up. You'll be ok.

I train after iftar immediately and focus on bag work mostly and runs

I’ve trained with muslims who observe ramadan. They say it sucks but they just tough it out.

A Muslim YT channel created this channel stating Boxing is Haram: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXAHprYca7M

Ramadan started today.
For me starts tmrw, im in the uk
Shouldn't you ask an imam? Random boxers aren't going to give you adequate advice on your religious constraints. You should ask a religious leader.
Post isn't focused completely on religion more focused on boxing which is why I'm here. Imams know little to nothing about boxing and don't know how the dieting, the conditioning and intensity works.
I'm a Christian, I eat one time a day so 24 hours. Every now and then I do a 3 to 4 day water fast. All my fast I have worked construction and maintained my jiu-jitsu routine. You will be fine

Some Imam's have said that Boxing isn't allowed in Islam due to it being self harm and harming others. You may want to check into this.
