Wrestling in Iran

[@Skilled_Maker]

As a Iranian I should say, in a Zoor khaneh the first and the last rule is respect to your opponent, specially when they are foreigner or guest.

[@Nuiceltico]

Would be much more ancient , so well pre-Islamic

[@Nuiceltico]

Varzesh-e Bastani (Persian: ورزش باستانی‎; "ancient sport") is a traditional style of wrestling from Iran. It combines elements of pre-Islamic Iranian culture with the spirituality of Sufism. Participants are expected to be pure, truthful, and good tempered and only then strong in body. The principles of un-pretentiousness are exemplified by a verse recited at many meetings: "Learn modesty, if you desire knowledge. A highland would never be irrigated by river." (Kanz ol-Haghayegh)

In india we have similar if not identical wrestling practices we even use the word Zor for strength

Zoorkhaneh does not have Islamic roots. While Persians struggled to resist the Arab invasion and there by Islam, Iranians gave the Zoorkhaneh a religious veneer that seemed Islamic. In fact, many of its rituals are from the Ancient Persian culture. At the core of it Zoorkhaneh is a place where men learn to be men by acquiring the codes of chivalry…. In competition, you’ll notice that all Iranian wrestler are very curious of their opponents. As a foreign team visiting Iran for a friendly match, they often let you wine the first match. There’s a beautiful delicacy about this culture.

[@youmarci]

it isnt the islamic martial art is the persian martial art ... much older than islam

[@bobbey8907]

This is a very very old passion wrastling style which somehow mix with the religions and as you see floor is very hard is not like Wessling soft floors so they engage but they don't Throw each other to the floor

[@56keivan31]

This is a traditional Iranian sport rooted in Iran's religious and spiritual teachings and values. It is accompanied by verses from the Shahnameh and praises of Islamic figures, especially Imam Ali, the first Imam of the Shiites.

[@FreedomFee]

It's not an "Islamic martial art"; it's the IRANIAN martial art. Arabs & Turks don't have Zoorkhaneh.

[@O.G-user]

in our country we don't have peasants! every iranian group is in the same level. While in ancient "house of power" you become part of a lifestyle were kid's learn about being a strong and honest person with story's of legendary warriors in ancient iran history who battled across the world mixed with Sufisma and poetry which creates people who establish empires like Achaemenid, Parthian and Sasanian's

[@mohamda5155]

Its more like a gym from 1or2 thousand years ago

[@asifmahdi1987]

They call wrestling in Persian PEHLWANI and it originally means to be Iranian,if I am not wrong

[@thetaytheist]

so how do you win in Iranian wrestling? Whoever falls down first?

[@aarr8936]

it looks like whoever gets dominant grips wins, I guess? To wrestlers, it should be obvious who has won an exchange, even without the takedown. (E.g. whoever has double underhooks, or gets behind the opponent with a bodylock, or whoever has the more secure single-leg). Or maybe they just don't keep score during practice, and only do for matches (or, because Iran does very well in the Olympics, maybe they have more sport-based teams that train around OIympic rules?)

[@arya1357]

Islamic Martial Arts!?! Then on this account, I guess we should rename boxing as Christian Martial Arts

[@ravichandel8690]

this is a kusti form which went from india to iran and that is why there are many things that is common in indian kushti and iranian zurkhaneh. Can some one make a detail and new video on this person should have well knowledge of the past and should not taken any western view point. But put english subtitle so that i can understand. Need more information

[@akashveersingh528]

No , this is a fully Persian art .

[@aarr8936]

Indian nationalists think everything was invented in India.

[@O.G-user]

Bro half of your country speak a iranian dialect while being surrounded by ancient Iranian Tajik and Afghans and the other half speak the indigenous Indian darvidian language!! Remember Tall-i-bakun Aryan civilization in Iran is from 5400.B.C and mohenjo-daro civilization between Afghanistan and Pakistan is from 2400.B.C which is the oldest Aryan civilization around India which is the same time indus valley culture stated to mature in 2400.B.C. after Eastern Iranian groups stated mixing with indigenous darvidian Indians

[@vikkimadiwalar9187]

[@USERCRETE]
