Pehelwani is very recent in terms of history. Indian wrestling used to be called malla yudha dating back to the time of the epics of ramayan. Khushti is persian. Mughals brought the kushti from persian and mixed it with indian malla yudha which is now known as pehelwani in northern india. In south india, their form of combat training is known as kalari payyatu. Kalari has many forms. Each being used by different empires in their own way. Kalari can also be found in parts of the subcontinent. Each combat art borrows from the other and adapts it to their own needs and environments of combat.
Ice hockey isn't something you just start doing first time on the ice 🤣 You need to practice just skating for at least 1-2 months before you bother with a hockey stick. People don't realize how hard the sport really is. It's worth the effort if you can afford to play, it's the best game out there!
You're absolutely right, but the point of my series is to just give things a go and have a bit of a laugh. Totally agree with you and I definitely plan on learning to skate and giving it a crack again down the track.
Good for you for trying it. Canadian here, and a life long player. We start age 4-5-6. So you starting at your age, its going to be difficult. You really have to start much younger if you want to get good by the time you’re in your teens. So a lot is against you, and even so, you’re doing great. It’s all about getting those reps in. You’ll see yourself improve as you go on practicing. 9:34 BTW, you need to set that puck nearer the toe of your stick blade, lean your arm straight down on the stick to flex it…straight down beneath your head-you lean into it. Then when you let it whip, you need to kick your back leg out to catch your inertia, otherwise you might fall on your ass. Good luck, lol
Being good by the time you're in your teens isn't a relevant statement for almost anyone. Literally no one outside of professionals need to be good by any certain age. As a Canadian you should already know that tons of people start 40+ and are playing just fine in the beer leagues. People trying to go pro are such a outlier in the realm of hockey and are not watching this video.
@JaymesAudley thanks for the support. Wow, that's really cool. It's definitely not as popular here, but it seems like it's growing. The goal of my series is to try a range of sport and training modalities, as much as I'd like to be good at them all, I definitely haven't been and will continue not to be with a lot of them. This was definitely the toughest one I've done. Thanks for the tip. Take care.
@@littleripper312his point is just that to be good at a young age, most people are skating from a young age. I’m 38 now, but I started on roller blades when I was 4, ice skating when I was 5 and ice hockey at 6. You’re right there are plenty of older people playing in beer leagues just fine, but if you started in your 40s you’re most likely not keeping up with someone the same age that has been playing since they were 6. There’s nothing wrong with that, it’s just a lot of time and practice to make up for in a short period of time. Good for the people getting into it late if they never had a chance to play at a younger age.
I always tell people hockey is the most difficult sport in the world, just for the skating alone. There's a reason ice skating on it's own is a sport. So add in everything else with hockey, and it's not easy. The time it takes just to be able to skate well enough to play is wild.
You're on the money mate. I'd like to think I'm okay at most sports and can compete at some level, absolutely wasn't the case for ice hockey. New found respect for these athletes
I started November last year 2023 and now play in adult league mainly a mix of college, high school and other players. Obviously I am not as quick as these kids are but I have been doing well in the league. I have progressed so quickly as a 41 yo adult and it isn’t even a year (8months to be exact as of this typing) til I get to play in a league. I get to skate mostly once a week, sometimes twice during learn to play but mostly spending time in public skate. It is the fear of getting hurt the main reason we don’t try most kids would do in learn to play. I am now proudly helping local rink in their learn to play program which my 8yo (plays in AA10U) is in who also started in the same program. A piece of advice if I may, always train with a plan and purpose to be better not just skate around. Anyway, goodluck!
Thanks! I’m pretty sure you’ll get better and better each time. You’ll surprise yourself like I did. If this video was your first time on ice (maybe 2nd or 3rd), you looked better than I did. I never get to hold a hockey stick until I decided to be with my son on ice and it felt like I had to redo all I learned about skating as there are 2 elements now that I have to be comfortable. Now adding the 3rd (the puck) is again another element to learn. You’ll get better. It’s a good exercise.
@beege4481 thanks mate. Yeah I've definitely been on the ice once before but I think it was about 20 years ago haha. I actually went out on the ice today with my wife and son and felt more confident. It'll come, just got to put the time in. Good luck mate.
Hockey is an awesome sport and is for everyone, It is a sport that just requires learning the basics of skating which everyone can learn from a skate marshall at a public skate session. Then from there its just repetition, eventually the balance, speed, agility etc comes, just got to put in the work just like any other sport if you want to get better at it. Good job on giving it a go!
Thanks for the nice comment mate. After going to my first live ice hockey game, it's got me really interested. I hate not being half decent at a sport or training style so I'll be working on my skating skills to give this sport a crack again.
Learning to skate is like learning to swim. It is an entirely new way to learn to move if you have never done it, it looks easy if you just see other people who already know how, and it is best learned as a child
It’s very difficult when you’re an adult. I’d compare it to learning to speak a language when you’re over 30. Good for you for getting out there! Enjoy!
@@datsyukiansanderov7184 Overcoming that innate fear of getting hurt is always a tough one too. As a kid, you're usually less likely to worry about hurting yourself. As an adult you're thinking "If I fall, I'm going to be sore at work for the next week".
Thanks mate, I definitely underestimated how tough this would be and overestimated my ability to skate haha. I'm at their game today to see these insane athletes in action.
I am 35 have a 2.5 year old and a 8 month old 😊 I get up at 4am to get myself together and get my workouts in, get to work by 730am, that way I get it in and dont take time away from my family. My sleep is terrible i get to bed about 10/1030 and the kids wake me up throughout the night most nights alarm goes off at 4am, but it is what it is just gotta do it that way 😅
@zacharymartin5198 man, I feel ya. I train at 4:30 every morning. I feel like I need to do it then because there's no interruptions and I can't let the excuse of having a crazy day stop me from training later in the day. It's not ideal, but we get it done. Proud of what you're doing mate.
Great content and humble aproach towards awesomeness. I subscribed @persianyoga. This was art, history and perfection of the human body. There is more similarity’s in the Persian pahlevani and the Hindu pahlevani than some ppl in the chat wants to admit. Great work !
As a Greek and specially Macedonian it would be a very interesting field of research the Structural parts of the Spiritual context of Pahlavani from Zoroastrism, ancient Greek warrior training, Sunni and ofcourse Shia Muslim and of course don't forget Buddhism. To what extent al the above mentioned systems played a role if they had played any and to what extent....I personally combine this with Indian Yoga and Chinese QiGong to my Southern Mantis KungFu and Tibetan Buddhist Yoga and Dharma!
What an amazing training . Never had chance to train in zurkhane but discovered the technique last 10 years never train in a gym again the strenght you gain and the mobilty is amazing . I was a fighter who wants to keep his fitness level without spending hours in the gym this is the way . This is the way to be a real worrier
@@fatherfigurecoach Definitely. I’m Dutch and here in the Netherlands steroid use is skyrocketing among the youth. I’m not against steroids. As long as you have a good reason for it, like competing, and really thought it through. You have to see the use of steroids as opening a door you’ll never be able to close again. People need to realise that. Luckily the discussion around steroids is really open and transparent among Dutch influencers since last year.
@@alfredh2079 I really like the door opening analogy you used. I'm the same, I have no problems if someone wants to use steroids, each to their own. It's just cool seeing people like Brock being able to develop an incredible physique without steroids and even supplements. Thanks for your insight.
One of the best guys I have come across. It's awesome seeing people as passionate as him sharing their culture and passions. I'd highly recommend following Kashi and reaching out to learn from him.
This is the Bullshito version of Yoga, made up nonsense. In the very small chance this is real, history taught us Persians were never great warriors, they only had strength in numbers.
Brock and his mate Joel does old school bodybuilding training and diet right. They prove you can build a great drug free physique thru years of consistent hard work and discipline.
Absolutely. They're great role models hence why I reached out to them for this episode. Their clothing line is as good as their training and nutrition 🔥
