Pahlavani is a traditional Iranian martial art that combines elements of wrestling, strength training, and physical fitness. Originating in ancient Persia, it emphasizes not only physical prowess but also moral values, discipline, and respect. Practitioners, known as Pahlavans, often train in a circular pit called a zourkhaneh, where they perform various exercises and techniques. The practice of Pahlavani is deeply rooted in Iranian culture and history, often accompanied by music and poetry. It serves as a way to promote community spirit and camaraderie among participants. In 2010, Pahlavani was recognized by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, highlighting its significance in preserving cultural traditions.
