Abstract :
Zurkhana6 was reorganized approximately 700 years ago by PuryayeValiin the form we see nowadays; but what made its sport develop, become sustainable, and turn into a constitution,is the deep influence that Islamic culture, especially Shiite culture, has had on it; so much so that after centuries, the greatest characteristics of this sport are still those very values which are in accordance with ethics of freedom, theosophy, sacrifice, forgiveness and chivalry that rise from the precious teachings of the great religion of Islam, the rich Shiite culture and the school of the leader of believers, Ali (PBUH).
