Master Kheirollah Haghighi, the founder of Repner’s martial arts discipline, was born in 1950.

From a young age, he had exemplary physical characteristics and great strength. They showcased their talent in various ways including indigenous and local sports, running, long jump, high jump, swimming and mountaineering.
In 1974, the teacher went to the cinema to watch a martial arts movie. This film, which represents the false culture of foreigners based on the bullying and power-seeking of those who made martial arts a plaything in their hands and saw it as a means of abusing others, caused him to abandon the film half-finished and leave the theater. It was to impress the professor and motivate him to think of inventing a martial art with intellectual and cultural roots of the people of Iran.
Therefore, it was decided to invent an authentic Iranian martial art in 1974 by taking advantage of their thoughts and mental strength, relying on their backgrounds, skills and physical strength.
Based on this, the real master Kheirolah Haghighi, who had high physical strength, creativity and mental visualization, used a hypothetical opponent who sometimes imagined himself as a performer of the technique and sometimes as a defender of the technique. They managed to establish a sport.
During these years, Professor Kheirollah Haghighi was able to create and name technical techniques and techniques, impersonation, speed, strength, jumping, mother’s work (form), self defense, wood defense, knife defense, leaping and performing movements, breaking hard objects. And also to establish technical regulations, rules and regulations of competitions and refereeing, preparation and regulation of clothing, field logo and philosophy of belts, etc. as a general law in the form of a complete martial field called Repner
This Persian martial art was registered in the Federation of Martial Sports in 1997 and this was an opportunity for them to give double order and coherence to this field by holding coaching, refereeing, technical courses, competitions, internships, workshop classes and conferences. So that at this time, the professor managed to grant the experienced professors of this field valid official decrees to spread and develop this field even more.
During these years, Repner made significant progress at the national level and abroad in the field of competitions, and following these efforts, Repner was registered in the World Organization in 2017 as a start for the development of this Persian martial art, which has no dependence on It is another field, style or country, it should be at the level of international communities.
