around the world with ipuenktchen

traditional sport in IR.. so called varzeshe bastani for strengthening body!! (AND avoiding arrogance!!!!!!!!!!) and ipue is living here now
for 37 years and had never been in such an amazing place....
:-(((((((((((((( and there are some still nowadays working...... and tourists are allowed!!!! for instance in yazd I saw one, but the opening times never matched with our own programme.. and in tehran you can find zur khaneh, too!!!! the ancient persian martial art from the safawid dynasty done by sufis has still followers nowadays, too...

in the same age like ipuenktchen's son2, born 1381, he's a professional wellknown climber and got successfull in a lot of the highest peaks of the world!! recently in may 2012 he brought the iranian country flag on one of the himalaya's most dangerous peaks, the 8.091 m high Annapurna peak in NEPAL! arrived 2 hours earlier than the others of his mountaineering group!!
