I have been thinking about this for a while and cant seem to make up my mind. I used to love working out, going to the gym and getting gud exercise. In the past I would leave my kirpan at home cause its very easily seen in they gym especially when u run around or lie down for certain exercises.

I havent gone to the gym over a year. Now I am in bad shape so i would like to start working out again. But now I dont wanna take off my kirpan to go workout.

somebody please help

bhul chuk maaf

Theres no need to feel uncomfortable when wearing your Kirpan, usually wear mine under my top but sometimes in can be seen especially when stretching, but no ones ever said anything to me, it shudnt be a problem its your right to be able to wear it wherever and whenever. If anyone has any issues with you then just explain to them and they should understand.

why do you need to remove it for?

iv never had any probs....?

just tie a kamarkasa on and wear it under ur top and stick it into ur kamarkasa, should be fine

[taksal]

wear a smaller kirpan and a shorter gatra. it stays secure and doesnt restrict movement.

OR you could get a sport-trouser with a zipper on the pocked, and you put the Siri Sahib in the pocket and close it :umm:

That's what i've been doing for some time now..

I personally go for the kamarkasa if you want to secure your kirpan. However, you can also adjust your gatra so that the kirpan will fit into the waistline of your sports pants and it should be secure. That is what I do.

You should not let wearing a shaster deter you from physical activity..after all we are natural sipahi's therefore we should always have shaster and to be a good sipahi we need to be fit so we should work out regularly :umm:

why dont u tie the kirpan in your keski? or buy a 5inch or 6 inch kirpan and tie that in your keski if your current one is too big, thats what i been planning to do if that problem arises

I always wear a 9 inch Sri Sahib while working out at the gym. Never had ANY problem. Like others suggested, just make the gatra shorter and u'll be set!
