Traditonal Iranian Wrestling Styles

[Black Jack]

Just because they are part of the axis of evil does not mean they don't know how to wrestle.

This is a really informative site on the many different systems of traditional Iranian wrestling. Like how Gileh-Mardi allows strikes and Kamarbandi is all about the throw.

I don't see how being evil implies otherwise. Don't you expect evil people to learn to hurt others?

Why an Iranian wrestling site prompted me to download
Arabic text support? WTF?

Iranians love their wrestling almost as much as Mongolians do.

[chen zhen]

fragbot, it's because the iranians uses the arabic alphabeth. So I guess there would be arabic letters in the site.
I had no problems though, I guess I have arabic text support already
