Iranian Wrestling, known as Pahlavani, is a traditional form of wrestling that combines physical strength, skill, and cultural heritage. It is often practiced in a circular pit called a zourkhaneh, where wrestlers engage in various techniques and exercises. This sport emphasizes not only athleticism but also moral values, such as respect and humility. The roots of Pahlavani date back to ancient Persia, making it a significant part of Iranian culture. Wrestlers often wear a distinctive outfit, including a shamshir (a type of belt) and a pahlavani hat. Competitions are held regularly, showcasing the strength and agility of the participants while celebrating their rich traditions.
