Zoorkhaneh Dar Iran Book by Mehdi Abolhasani Targhi


45.50

"Zoorkhaneh Dar Iran" by Mehdi Abolhasani Targhi delves into the world of traditional Iranian sport known as Zoorkhanei or Pahlevani. This book explores the historical roots and cultural significance of these ancient physical and combat movements, traditionally practiced in the Zoorkhaneh pit accompanied by rhythmic chants, melodies, and the percussive beat of a leader. In addition to covering the physical aspects of Zoorkhanei, the book likely delves into Pahlevani wrestling, a form of wrestling practiced within the Zoorkhaneh. The global recognition of the Pahlevani and Zoorkhanei rituals is underscored by their inscription on UNESCO's Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2010.

Traditional Iranian sports reflect the rich cultural heritage and physical prowess of Persian civilization. One of the most well-known is Varzesh-e Pahlavani (Pahlavani Sport), an ancient form of martial arts and strength training that dates back centuries. Practiced in a special gym called Zurkhaneh, this sport combines elements of wrestling, calisthenics, and spirituality. Participants, known as Pahlavans, perform exercises with heavy clubs, shields, and metal bows, all while rhythmic drumbeats and poetry recitations create a ceremonial atmosphere. This sport is not just about physical strength but also about moral integrity, humility, and respect. Another notable Iranian sport is Koshti (wrestling), particularly Koshti Pahlavani, a traditional form that has been an integral part of Iranian history. Wrestling champions are highly respected in Iranian culture, and the sport remains popular across the country. Additionally, traditional horseback games such as Chogan (Iranian Polo) have deep historical roots, having been played by Persian kings and warriors for centuries. These sports highlight Iran’s historical emphasis on physical fitness, discipline, and honor, preserving a legacy of strength and resilience.
