Establishment of Own Club
The seemingly unending marathon of crude wrestling matches and also requests from other Pahlavans who wanted a classier and bigger club convinced him to establish his own Zurkhaneh in 1939. He named it Chahar Fasl Zurkhaneh or Four Seasons Club. Located on Chaharbagh Boulevard in Isfahan, it was aimed at training young athletes inspired to reach the rank of Pahlavan in a more disciplined environment. Chahar Fasl Zurkhaneh immediately became the place for the government authorities and social elite curious to watch the artistic musical workout show with the concluding wrestling matches. Pahlavans and athletes from various places and cities would come to display their art.
Among many renowned Pahlavans who would visit his Zurkhaneh when in Isfahan were Pahlavan Haj Hesam Alsoltan Khoshnevisan and Pahlavan Haj Razaz.
