Born into a renowned wresting family in Iran, 'the garden of wrestling', Coach Esmaeli, has built a reputation as one of the best wrestling coaches in Europe.​ His unique mastery of movement and motivation draws on an encyclopedic knowledge of wrestling spanning 35 years, with 27 years also spent as a professional dancer.
