Join The Ancient Art of The Persian Heroes of Iran

Zourkhaneh is a place for practicing ancient exercises and Pahlavani wrestling, which dates back to many years ago.

It has a domed structure with usually a tiny entrance, and this small entryway has a moral theory behind it. To enter, you must bend slightly and lower your head to prevent touching the ceiling. In Iranian culture, lowering one’s head signifies modesty and respect before the elders.

After you enter, you will see an octagonal or circular ring in the center, one meter deeper than the other parts called ‘Gaud. ‘Around it, there are separate sections for audiences, musicians, and athletes. The musician is known as Morshed, and he holds a crucial position within the Zourkhaneh. He beats a drum (Zarb) and sets the pace of athletes’ practice by it while reciting mythological poems, stories, and some poems praising Shi’ite imams and the heroes of Shahnameh.

The athletes’ performance usually includes weight training, some aerobic exercises, and gymnastic movements, and usually ends with wrestling. They move in unison and use Mill (wooden clubs), Sang (wooden or metal shields), and Kabbadeh or Kaman (bow-shaped iron weights). All of them have been modeled after war weapons used during ancient days. The most critical target of founding a Zourkhaneh was to prepare a place where warriors would be able to practice and strengthen their bodies and spirit during times when there was no war and the country was at peace.

In addition to their physical and mental strength, warriors must have been trained to promote kindness and humility during battles, and Zourkhaneh was the ideal location for achieving this objective. Respect and courtesy are the most important moral values by which this ancient sport is known for, and it is associated with many principles and norms.

According to the research of the German University of Sport, the German Brook House encyclopedia has recognized Zourkhaneh sport as the oldest bodybuilding sport in the world. On October 10, 2004, the International Zourkhaneh Sports Federation (IZSF) was established to promote Varzesh-e Pahlavani worldwide.

2-day Iran Rafting Tour from Isfahan

Rafting is an adventurous recreational activity on different degrees of rough water. Features like teamwork and dealing with risk are making a challenging environment for participants of this vibe experience; so, it can be a great extra exciting activity on a cultural Iran journey. River Rafting has risen to a popular sport/hobby among youngsters all around the world, although it doesn’t have a long history and has been included in the 1972 Munich Olympic Games for the first time.

In Iran, rafting is a new sport, but it has attracted many enthusiasts in just a few years. The most important reason is that Iran owns two famous mountain chains named Zagros and Alborz with lots of rivers; so, the natural condition provides the possibility of rafting in dozens of thrilling rivers all around the year. This Iran tour takes us to one of the famous rivers in Iran for rafting, the Armand River in Chaharmahal-Bakhtiari. The standard rafting trips started on this river in 2008.

Armand-Rood is the source of the Karun River located in the south-west of the country. This 20-km long river has waves of 2 to 4 levels of difficulty; so, everyone from 9-99 years old can go to this beautiful area located in the Zagros Mount. Chain for river rafting trips. While rafting, you can also enjoy the beautiful landscapes and villages on both sides of the Armand river.

The required equipment for rafting tours and qualifications of the river guides are essential. With no training, experience, or proper equipment, the river may be difficult and also dangerous; but, the overall risk level on a rafting trip with experienced raft guides using precautions is low.

You can mix your Iran Rafting Tour experience with many more different tour packages, such as https://friendlyiran.com/iran-tours/golden-triangle-iran-tour/.
