IRAN YAZD varzesh e pahlevani bastani
ورزش باستانی
Varzesh-e Bastani (varzeš-e bāstānī ورزش باستانی, Persian for "ancient sport", also known as Varzesh-e Pahlavani) is a traditional style of folk wrestling practiced in Iran.
Varzesh-e Bastani combines elements of the pre-Islamic Iranian culture with the spirituality of Sufism. It places emphasis on spiritual and moral purity, participants being expected to be truthful, and good tempered and only then strong in body.

The principles of unpretentiousness are exemplified by a verse recited at many meetings: "Learn modesty, if you desire knowledge. A highland would never be irrigated by river." (Kanz ol-Haghayegh)
