Thats quite obviously bad kung-fu rebranded as "ancient persian". A relatively stupid move, considering how many persians live in diaspora, and how hard they cling to their traditions. Any persian will almost instantly call bullshit on this one.

Persian martial arts are heavily influenced by India. So much they even resemble each other in the names.

The traditional system, often called Varzesh-e Pahlavani, which is supposed to translate to "Sport of the Heroes" is a mixture of strongmen exercises and "Koshti" wrestling. Persians totally dig wrestling anyhow.

Kosthi looks like this:

or this (Kosthi wrestler at international tournaments):

finally this is Pahlavani:

The only influence china has on Persia/Iran lies in delivering surface-to-air missile systems and toasters to the country.

I heard they like sanda over there, so that might not be true.
