Yam-Mey, the documentary rejected by Professor Mirzaii.

After the Islamic revolution and Khomeini took power, Professor Mirzaii left Iran and retired to private life.
Although he left Kung Fu To’a and its development, some people continued to gravitate around the founder of the style in the vain hope of receiving from him some technical lessons. Among them was also Ahmad Sarafnia, who produced a documentary which he called “Yam-Mey” that was supposed to be about Professor Mirzaii and intended to presents Master’s thoughts and vision to an international community. Working with Sarafnia on this project was also Ahmad Khosarvan, who took charge of filming and served as narrator’s voice.

The way this documentary was presented was different from what had been said to Professor E. Mirzaii, whose perspective and ideas ended up to be little present to let room to Mr. Sarafnia that was a main and constant presence dressed up as a mystic man walking in a desert. To make the whole work more attractive and interesting to some fanatic people, Master Mirzaii was displayed as a God, portrayed on horseback because it was believed that the return of the Redemptive (hidden Imam) on earth would have happened in this way.

When the shooting ended Sarafnia presented his work to Yaromeh Mirzaii, that after having watched it he rejected it and refused firmly, and forbade its publication.
Unfortunately his will was not respected and the documentary ended up in the hands of fanatics who began to worship him as a God, while his enemies used it to put it into further bad light in the eyes of the government and Iran.
To date, some people continue to give credit and to consider “Yam-Mey” a document without knowing that it was created, developed and published against the will of Professor Mirzaii, that resolutely rejected it .
