House of Strength


I've got a secret to share.

I love watching old footage of traditional Iranian gymnasiums otherwise known as Zurkhaneh, men practicing the Iranian national sport (Varzeshe Bastani) . Historically as a nation we admire physical strength, and the house of strength embodies elements of pre-Islamic Iranian culture and spiritual values.

This is one of my favorite video clips, Its narrated in French, you can skip to 2:04 to watch the rigorous and comprehensive physical exercise session.
