Zoorkhane is archaic and sexist, in my opinion!

Why are the women sitting around the Gode and not participating in the exercise?  Are they shy? Are they afraid? Are they forbidden by their men? Imagine Tiger Lily in there and doing the shenna exercise!

This sport, despite its ancient tradition, rituals, and glories has not kept up with time.

Furthermore, its equipments most likely cause all kinds of long term body damage and deformity such as arthritis and joint malfunctions if exercised regularly!

I bet no body applied hendese'h, mosallasat, or any hessab to optimally design the equipments for performance and safe aerobically! Or did they?

For your information, here is a site describing the history of the sport.

  • Meel: A pair of wooden Clubs that evolved from ancient mace
  • Kabadeh: The Bow
  • Sang: The Shield
  • Takhteh Shena: The Bar

خیلی جالب و تحسین بر انگیز است

 ورزشی زیبا و پهلوان پرور که سال‌هاست به دست فراموشی سپرده شده.

شاگردانی بی‌شمار و پیشرفت روز افزون رو براشون آرزو میکنم.
