Finally! I met Kashi from @persianyoga 🙏🏻 I’ve not been overly exposed to the Persian form of wrestling training called ‘Palhavani’.

This was my first meeting with an actual follower of the original tradition and I must say that I’m impressed. We went through a tough workout which incorporated many different tools and modalities challenging strength, mobility, agility, balance, and coordination. In this video you’ll see me attempt the 32kg pair which Kashi gave to me as a challenge (something I feel like he likes to do haha). I succeeded for one count. This is the heaviest Persian Meel I’ve ever swung and it felt great. Hoping to meet again this time in Australia to get a few more counts in with these beasts 🤯

A big thanks to @persianyoga for his generous share of knowledge and skills. What an amazing world we live in ❤️

Tarihin en eski dönemlerinden beri yaşadıkları anayurtları Çerkesya'da eşsiz bir dil ve kültür geliştiren Çerkesler yüzyıllarca süren onurlu direnişlerine rağmen Çarlık Rusyası ile büyük devletlerin kolonyalist politikaları ve stratejik hedefleri doğrultusunda soykırıma uğradı ve Anavatanlarından sürgün edildi.

Fakat tüm baskılara, dağılmışlığa, acılara karşın Çerkesler varlıklarını ve kimliklerini koruyor ve yaşatıyorlar. 21 Mayıs, Çerkes halkının yaşama direncinin ifadesidir. Direniştir, başkaldırıdır, diriliştir. 21 Mayıs, halkımızın belleğine kazınan tüm bu acıları, savaşları insanlık dışı uygulamaları dünyaya haykırmak istediğimiz gündür. 21 Mayıs, dün, bugün, yarın perspektifinde ulusal-kültürel kimliğimizi yaşama ve yaşatma isteği ile geleceğe ışık tuttuğumuz günlerdir. 21 Mayıs, birbirinden koparılmış halkın farklı coğrafyalara dağıtılsa bile, birlikte yaşama irade ve arzusunu haykırdıkları günlerdir. 21 Mayıs Diaspora ile Anavatandaki kardeşlerin yüreklerinde eş zamanlı yanan bir kor ateştir ve bu ateşin yaktığı yürekler mutlaka bir gün ortak geleceklerini kuracaktır. Soykırım ve sürgünün acısını yüreğinde hisseden tüm Çerkesleri ve Çerkes dostlarını bu anlamlı günlerde beraber olmaya çağırıyoruz.

The CCI lecture series presents the author of Let Our Fame Be Great, Oliver Bullough.

Oliver Bullough was a Reuters Moscow correspondent, and is now Caucasus Editor for the Institute for War and Peace Reporting. His book Let Our Fame Be Great: Journeys Among the Defiant People of the Caucasus.

Let Our Fame Be Great won the Oxfam Emerging Writer Prize and was short-listed for the Orwell Prize, with prize judge James Naughtie calling it "an extraordinary book... a wonderful part-travelogue, part-history". In August 2010 Basic Books published it in the United States, where the Overseas Press Club awarded it the Cornelius Ryan Award for "best nonfiction book on international affairs".

Circassian beauties, or Moss-haired girls as they were sometimes known, reflect a curious legacy of racial stereotyping and sexual titillation. Racial theories of the mid 19th century held that the people living in the Circassian mountains near the Black Sea were examples of the purest stock of the Caucasian race. Legend had it that the Circassians produced the worlds most beautiful white women, who were consequently in great demand for the harems of Turkish sultans.








The long shadow of slavery can also be discerned in this hybrid depiction. American audiences were both intrigued and horrified, given their false association of slavery with Africans, by the fact that Circassian women were among the most sought-after concubines in the Sultans harem - hence the need to make them appear somewhat African. Both African slaves and Circassian slaves were subject to sexual exploitation and this is the point of contact that played so powerfully on white Americans imagination, wrote philosophy professor Gregory Fried.

In this series (Muhammad Ali) which was done by "Al-Jazeera Documentary channel" in 2012, the series covered the mentality of Ali of getting rid any possible competitors to his dynasty in Egypt.

One of the victims were the "Burji Dynasty" or the Circassian Mamluks" whom were betrayed by Muhammad Ali on one of the holiest days for Muslims (Fridays), in a fake celebration arranged by Ali to gather the Circassian princes asking them to join his army to free the holy places of Mecca & Al-Medina from the Wahhabis, while intending to slaughter them in Cairo Citadel (Saladin Citadel) in 1811.

في هذا البرنامج الذي تم إعداده من قبل قناة الجزيرة الوثائقيّة في عام 2012 ، والذي يتحدث فيه عن شخصية محمد علي والي مصر، من حيث غدره وخيانته وتخلصه من أعدائه بطريقة تندى لها الجبين بدءاً من عمر مكرم والنخبة المصريّة ومن ثم بالمماليك الشراكسة ليستأثر بالحكم.
وقد عمل محمد علي على خداع أمراء الشراكسة من حيث دعوته لهم للانضمام إلى جيشه الذي سوف يقوم بتحرير الحرمين الشريفين من سطوة الوهابيين، وبعد أحتفال وهمي أعده في يوم الجمعة والذي يعتبر من الأيام المقدسة عند المسلمين ، حيث قام بذبح المماليك الشراكسة في يوم الجمعة وقبل الصلاة ، لخوفه من المماليك على حكمه وليتسنى له بعد ذلك التفرد في حكم مصر.
وتغطي هذه اللقطات الحالة الإجتماعية في مصر إبان دخول محمد علي عليها.
