- Zurhkaneh (Pahlevani and zoorkhaneh) is a kind of traditional Iranian power work out. I was invited to a suburb of Tehran to see the club exercise. The drums are so powerful and push everyone to go a little bit more.
Zurkhaneh combines martial arts, aerobic and some yoga moves too.
In the club I visited there were males of all ages but the most beautiful part was how the club supported each other. They greeted each other, caught each other if they were spinning out of control, handed out dry towels.
Clearly Zurkhaneh is a communal activity, building on the social structure of the neighborhood, rather than the individualistic workout found in Western gyms.
From Cyrus the Great to the Shahnameh, Persian culture doesn't stop to impress me! Greetings from Mexico!
great culture and tradition....loves from turkey...
We are one brother Allah bless both Iran and Turkey
Iran and Turkey are just like brothers and we really think like this . Love from Iran
Isn't it Turkish tough? 🤔
I love this social interaction while working out. This comradery... The old men and the kids together.Great video!
yes old man with young boys and no woman how it should be!
Your brian has been fucked bro
Impressive. I'm always thrilled to bits watching Zurkaneh workout and listening to the drummer. It reminds me so much of beloved Iran, which I toured two years ago. Iranians, actually Persians, are one of the nicest and most civilised people in the world.
Zurkhane😂زورخانه
What I love is there are at least 5 generations here all in the same room
Great observation! An extended family / neighborhood
رسم این ورزش جوان مردی و پهلوانی است
This is beautiful. People knew long before any modern trends how to workout and be fit healthy and strong. How to train their people to be resilient from a young age. No wonder iranians are feared wrestlers!
Great comment!
What a wonderful way of getting together for strength training and mutual harmony.. love from Hindustan ☺️🙏🏻
and no woman! oh yes
@@OWlsfordshire you talk like you lived in iran before
The idea of having a kind of national workout ritual is really cool.
A workout ritual which has been practised since more then 2000 years!
I would really love to visit your country and learn these skills, you guys are amasing. Respect!
Allahuma sali Ala Muhammad wa Ali Muhammad.
The great Iron Sheik brought me here🙏😁
i love zurkaneh.. and i always do it for strength and mind calm. from korea seoul city
This shows that culture exchange was normal even back in the day
For more information about the persianisation of most of the subcontinent read:

The drums are amazing!
It would be more interesting if you knew that in Zoorkhane (strength house) the drummer also sings iranian poets , like poets from Shahnameh(book of kings)
Persia(Iran) and India has so much in common
Yes..... Ancient cultural link.
Beautiful culture I am happy to see it being passed on to the younger generation ❤
This practice seems a bit ancient, I find similarity with my culture.
From Bharat.
Great video, amazing culture. Cheers from Arg 🇦🇷🇮🇷
I am from Mumbai INDIA i really enjoy seeing this video Bhai
The Iron Sheik used to do the Persian club workout during the WWF Wrestling shows!
He did overhead swings with 75 pound clubs. He was insanely strong!
Sheik was the number one champion, Olympic Gold Medal, AAU, Pan American Games; A to the Z!!!
We forgot it... They gladly took it!!! Very proud to see this as a TAMIZHAN
What tamizan idot.
You idots are not proud of your hinduness and now claiming hindu wrestling traditions.
Lemurs ha e nothing to do with our indian wrestling culture
This video captures the whole beauty of this culture perfectly. Well done!!!!
24 Hour Fitness needs these drums!
Exactly :)
Love from Hindustan!
Hermosoooo, espiritual , mucha devociòn, yoguis..!!!!
Love from Agra India
This is the Persia we love....👍
This not just a physical exercise it's also a spiritual religious gathering as they recite eulogies and poems and Supplications of the Ahlulbayt of Prophet Muhammad S.A.W.A.W
Interesting! Do you have more information regarding what they chant? The words?
@@oxlaey Traditional Iranian wrestling (koshti) dates back to ancient Persia and was said to have been practiced by Rustam, mythological Iranian hero of the Shahnameh epic. While folk styles were practiced for sport by every ethnic group in various provinces, grappling for combat was considered the particular specialty of the zourkhāneh. The original purpose of these institutions was to train men as warriors and instill them with a sense of national pride in anticipation for the coming battles.The Mithrāic design and rituals of these academies bear testament to its Parthian origin (132 BCE - 226 CE). The zourkhaneh system of training is what is now known as varzesh-e bastani, and its particular form of wrestling was called koshti pahlevani, after the Parthian word pahlevan meaning hero.
When the Arabs invaded Persia around 637 CE, the zourkhānehs served as secret meeting places where knights would train and keep alive a spirit of solidarity and patriotism. Invaders repeatedly targeted the houses of strength to discourage rebels, but new ones would always be organized in a different location. Following the spread of Shia Islam, and particularly after the development of Sufism in the eighth century, varzesh-e pahlavani absorbed philosophical and spiritual components from it. Religious hymns were incorporated into training, and the first Shi'ite imam Ali was adopted as the zourkhāneh patron
@@oxlaey they are sending salavat on the prophet and his family, during the ritual. You can hear it if you pay close attention!
@@oxlaey They recite praises for Prophet Muhammad S.A.W.A.W and his Ahlulbayt such Allahuma sali ala muhammad wale Muhammad meaning oh God send your praises upon Muhammad and his holy progeny Ahlulbayt, They recite poems for the 12 Imams and eulogies of mourning the suffering And oppression The Prophet Muhammad S.A.W.A.W and his holy progeny Ahlulbayt went through
Well zurkhaneh was in persia way way before Islam came to iran and existed to this days even the religion changed in that land ! Its a power of pars to bring everything together even in the worst time !
looking for this workout. strong man yoga
Good stuff, traditions in movment
I read about this in Byron's Road to Oxiana and wanted to see it for myself. Looks more fun than the gym.
الله يبارك

Thank you for this! The Persian culture is fantastic. Greetings from the UK
pre-islamic Persian and Iranian culture was fascinating and much more diverse.
Zoroastrian Persia/Parthia was peak civilization alongside the Hellenes. Great era.
The West only cares about money, oil and power. All the other stuff is BS for the masses. Harsh but true. Nobody actually cares if Iran is secular or a dictatorship. The issue people have with Iran in the US government is that its not a puppet.
But Islamic Iran is as diverse and not very different. Please tell me you're not that daft that you think what you're seeing is pre-Islamic Iran, right? Fuck off with your Islamophobia.
@@saeedvazirian fuck you I'm from Iran and I confirm Islam ruined Iran! Islam is about murder and murder so it's a good thing actually to be a Islamophobic!
@@saeedvazirian
Shut up you stupid Arabparast
Long live Iran -the only secular bastion of the middle East and one of the ancient cultures of the world !
The Iron Sheik used to do the Persian club workout during the WWF Wrestling shows!
Except its not in the middle east
If am not wrong iran is not secular. Just that they're not sunni muslims. They're shias. So not as extreme as those sunnis but still not at all secular and kinda extreme.
@Le Jean Paul Labiche It is in the Middle East. The guy who commented before you probably thinks only the Arab countries in Asia are part of the Middle East.
Definitely not secular. We all saw what happened with Mahsa Amini and many others who were killed recently. Maybe during Reza Shah Pehlavi rule Persia was secular
For those who wonder why the spin, it's a training for head & balance,it was very important to get use to spins and fast turning as a melee warrior, it also improves one's balance. As a warrior in ancient times to do tactical maneuvers, to swing left and right without loosing your balance during melee was nessesary, since one warrior might be attached from front and behind constantly, if the head and body are not ready to spin back and fort ,it would be easy to get stabbed. you gotta spin so much so that once you stay you will not feel dizzy, they actually become good at that, Zurkhane warriors could sping for minutes and yet they are able to stand still afterwards.
Beautiful video!
Thank you! Cheers!
So beautiful 💜
ما شا ا... پهلون

These types of mallets are also used in India and called jori.

🧿👌
I wonder how they felt after spinning for 5 minutes without getting out of a circle.
Its a techinuqe that they will be good
U never see them get dizzy and some of them do it for over a minute
it looks scientific and healthy that won't injure the joints
In india we called these pehlwani
Pahlavani is a word with Iranian roots that has been introduced into Hindi because of our common history,,Centuries ago, Persian was spoken in the Indian subcontinent under the influence of the Persian Empire.💙🌸

من تاریخ نویس نیستم ولی زورخانه و مسجد هردو نشانیه بارز ساختن انسانهای خوب بوده و هست اگه به عقب برگردیم و بتاریخجه هردو جا همیشه مرحم روح و جان انسانهای خوب بوده
Similar to the Akhadas of India
Cause our countries have a common history and culture

Highly ritualized... just like sumo wrestlers training in Japan.

RIP to the Iron Sheik of the WWE
shame they didnt show the shield and bow exercise
for a second i thought you were kidding,but i remembered there is actually a shield in the exercise but no bow,idk i havent seen one fully but there is a shield like thing that they swing around
@@jacktheripper5112 actually there is a bow too u
@@jacktheripper5112 that's not regular bow.
I guess that is the chains-like thing they used for shoulder and back exercises
Whats the weight of the indian clubs used in the video??
They're not indian clubs. Indians didn't invent this
Their are not Indian actually.
But most of them are 17 kilos in this video.
@@aniketsatpute2389 damn bro okay chill out i get it.
I don't care where the exercise came from, if it's good, then I'm doing it.
@@aniketsatpute2389 the origin ist Persia. You won't accept it. The great persia ist still alive
All the workout routines shown here are very similar to Indian wrestlers follow in their akhadas.
Looking at the Iranian locals, I can hardly tell the difference in appearance from the current Europeans...
Corona period

Worlds oldest martial art, used by cataphracts to train to carry heavy weapons
This knowledge taken from india
@@ketanthakkar79 it most definitely was not lol
@@williamkhairi4061 you have zero knowledge lol
@@ketanthakkar79 en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pehlwani
Suspend your bias for a moment and read this, Pahlevani exercises are Persian in origin, spread to India by way of the Mughal empire. The use of Gada in this art is also inspired by the Persian Meel exercise.
@@williamkhairi4061 this is fake story.
Your religion comedy only 1400 years ago. A the knowledge that you inheritet that' s from india.
