Basically, I'm not supposed to eat nor drink anything during Ramadan in the daytime- that includes water, so yes, it is really going to be tough. 14 hours of no food and drink can really have a toll on a person. My sensei already knows that I'll be fasting, so I take it that he'll go a bit easy on me. My plan is that I'll take in as much fuel and vitamins as I can before sunrise, and not expend too much energy during the day until I'm ready to train in the evening. Then after sunset, I'll drink in as much gatorade as I can. It's gonna be hard, but I'll try my best to see if it can be done.
I don't want my religious practice to compromise my Karate training, and vice versa. I believe that I can still be equally committed to both. It's just gonna be a bit rough.
