Non-notable martial art created as a hybrid of several. No indication of notability or wide spread coverage. Typical let's invent a martial art that should have been speedied upon recreation. Peter Rehse (talk) 13:48, 20 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I'm not seeing any indication that this is a notable martial art. It doesn't appear to be widespread or have significant practitioners. I'm also suspicious of a new martial art that was created by someone who reputedly learned it in the Himalayas from the teachings of a dead Tibetan master. I don't see significant independent coverage of this art, although I must admit Google translate didn't help me with the Persian articles. However, the titles don't appear to show significance (just lists of associations and martial artists). I'm willing to change my mind if significant independent coverage can be shown, but the burden of proof is on the article's creators. Papaursa (talk) 11:27, 5 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
