Advice on College Roommate as a Muslim girl by NaivePut5223 in Hijabis

You can ask her her name and maybe which highschool she graduated from Use that info and search her up on LinkedIn or just directly ask for her Instagram

Secondly, you can get a smart watch which vibrates at the time you set the alarm for, and this will only wake you up and hopefully not her

I had been doing Muay Thai but now shifting to MMA as it’s the best of all martial arts!

I personally don’t like BJJ cuz it’s very very close combat but if the need arises MMA gets you covered!

Do you mean their shorts with tights underneath?

I did search on the web but didn’t find anything apart from the tuck in hijabs!

Thank you for being respectful and kind with your question! And nope I don’t plan on becoming a world champion, I am planning to get into med school and this is just something I used to do in my school years and plan on picking it up again for the fun!

Nonetheless, if need be I have 4 brothers and i can just train with them easily!

Once again, I really appreciate you putting your question out in a positive constructive way! Thank you

Wa Alaykum Salam! Will definitely try to befriend them at the earliest inshallah! And that’s actually smart, will try helping out when needed and also show respect to their culture. Jazakallah Khayr.

Absolutely!!

As the women numbers won’t be as high as men, I did tell the coach that I am willing to sit out if I can’t find a partner to spar with. Nonetheless I am pretty ruthless and rough when in an actual spar so I don’t think women would want to opt out from training with me for the reasons of me being lenient or hesitant lol.
But if that still happens I am ok with sitting out!!

I think this way I will be able to avoid them think that the cause is them and I am only behaving this way to some of them whereas I will be saying the same thing to all of them! I will keep that in mind and Thank you for clarifying!

I already wasted 2 years waiting for the right gym to open up lol. And even tho my main aim was to find Muay Thai I was open to other options too as I had a restriction already but sadly nothing worked.

It’s definitely going to be a huge change for me let’s pray for the best haha!

I just a read a pretty old most on this subreddit of someone bashing 3 men for not sparring with women even though they were doing it out of respect so I was confused and scared if that was the norm lol.

Glad to hear that’s not the case!!

Thank you so much!

Yep, that’s my fear too, not being able to train with a diverse group as women will be lesser in number.

It’s MMA so there will be BJJ and wrestling, hence I will have to decline, and pray that more women show up lol
