Our Mission.
Our mission is to raise awareness and share the benefits of Zurkhaneh Sports (Persian Yoga), as an holistic and complete physical education art-form; that is founded on thousands of years of accumulated wisdom, in Australia.
Our definite chief aim is to add value to peoples lives across Australia by inspiring them to take a long-term and holistic approach towards their physical, mental and spiritual well-being, and to empower individuals and groups to honestly express themselves, through this easy to learn physical art-form; aggregated from the ancient wisdom of the Persians. Ultimately we hope to build the first traditional Zurkhaneh (House of Power) in the southern hemisphere. A center, and a place, for love of life, righteousness of action, complete health, and chivalry. |
Our history.
After graduating from the instructor course in Zurkhaneh Sports at the National Olympic & Paralympic Academy of Iran, in July 2007, having received my training and certification from the honorable Morshed Panahi, one of the leading Gurus in Zurkhaneh Sports today and with the full support of the IZSF's staff and management, I proceeded to form Zurkhaneh Australia in Sydney.
“Absorb what is useful, discard what is not, add what is uniquely your own.” Always keeping in mind the above quote from one of the greatest Martial Artists and Philosophers of all time, the legendary Bruce Lee, we have developed the art of Zurkhaneh (Persian Yoga) to become more cross-functional and integrated with the Australian society and values, while keeping true to it's roots as a martial arts conditioning system. |
