ZUR KHANEH.... :-)))
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...
