Uzbekistan is set to celebrate the 100th anniversary of eminent Uzbek poetess Zulfiya, whose birthday, March 1, will commemorate the advent of the spring. Her poetry exudes sincere love for nature and people and is imbued with colors and filled with fresh characters.
Ahead of celebrations of the poetess’s anniversary, various parts of the country are hosting literature nights and meetings honoring the creativity of Zulfiya. The actors of the Diydor Theater Studio staged a play titled ‘Hotiram siniqlari’ (Smithereens of My Memory) reflecting her life at Turkiston Palace in Tashkent. The staging based on Zulfiya’s poem with the same name is filled with her thoughts and memories as well as happiness, love and everything that makes up each person’s life.
The play staged by director Bahodir Yuldashev drew a stormy ovation from the audience. Zulfiya’s role was played by prominent Uzbek actress Gulbahor Yuldasheva.
“The play is an account of not only the poetess’s life, but also the history of our nation,” the actress says. “It reflects Zulfiya’s remembrances of the Second World War’s tragic consequences, people’s suffering, and the untimely passing of loved ones. The goal of the play is to encourage young people to appreciate the peace that we enjoy today.”
‘The Smithereens of Memory’ will be stages in all parts of Uzbekistan.
Moreover, the Women’s Committee of Uzbekistan is working on the development of a website dedicated to the poetess’s life and oeuvre, zulfiyaxonim.uz.

Uzbek Martial Arts on World Stage
The national martial art of Uzbek jang san’ati will be presented at the 30th World Festival of martial arts. For this event to be held in March in France the national team is preparing with the direct participation of one of the founders of the sport, Pulat Usmanov. In his busy schedule, he found time to answer the questions of an Uzbekistan Today correspondent.
Mr. Usmanov, this year the national martial art at the World Martial Arts Festival will be presented for a second time…
“Yes, we took part at this prestigious sports forum for the first time in 2013. At this festival, countries present their national sports. And the fact that we got an invitation for a second time points to the growing interest in our national sport. And we really have something to show.
Uzbek jang san’ati has a few differences among other types of martial arts. Foreign specialists are attracted by the fact that our system allows simultaneous use of defense and attack techniques. This sport has a great potential for military-patriotic education of youth and use in combat training of law enforcement officers, it can also be used for physical training in educational institutions.
In addition, with demonstration performances we have already performed not only at the World Festival of martial arts, but also on events in the United States, Kazakhstan, South Korea, Russia, and Italy. Preparing for a trip to Portugal, South Korea, Vietnam, US, we have the opportunity to hold training seminars, world championships and demonstrations.
Today, all goes to the fact that soon, international tournaments and competitions of our national sport will be held. For that reason, we are actively working on the creation of the International Federation, which will unify the terminology, because in each country they may be different. For example, for the sake of patriotic education, the whole set of techniques were named after of our great ancestors or youth patriotic words. For example, in our system there are complex techniques of Amir Temur, ‘Vatan’, ‘Istiqlol’, ‘Barkamol avlod’ and many others.“
Uzbek jang san’ati began to develop in 2009 with the establishment of the federation. However, there are many questions: what is it – a completely new kind of martial arts or revival of traditional sport?
“The creation of this sport was preceded by numerous debates of martial arts experts. All agreed in opinion that in recent years, many countries were developing national styles of martial arts that are spreading around the world, including in Uzbekistan. As an example, I can name Muaythai, Wushu, Taekwondo. It is only natural that such discussions have brought proposals to establish a national martial art of Uzbekistan. For the practical implementation of this idea a few experts in martial arts including myself have proposed a newly born sport called Uzbek jang san’ati.
Everything is created from scratch, so it was in our case. We have devoted a lot of time to studying martial art in the time of Amir Temur, Jalolitdin Manguberdi, Pahlavon Mahmoud, Princess Tumaris and other prominent figures of our region. The fact that Uzbekistan is located on the Silk Road couldn’t be ignored; it has played a huge role in the mutual enrichment of cultures of the Orient. Therefore, we carefully studied their martial arts – this part of the work was very simple, because each of us turned out to be an expert in this area. In particular, I did Judo, Karate, Jeet Kune Do, hand-to-hand combat, Muay Thai, kickboxing and I have a 7th dan black belt in Tae Kwon Do. The whole experience was the basis of our national sport. The biggest challenge was to create original complex techniques that would have advantages over other species – we succeeded. Our sport is based on the fundamentals and we have enriched the original techniques that helped to create the most perfect form of martial arts.”
Today we are witnessing the growing popularity of Uzbek jang san’ati in the world, but what about its spread in the country?
“With the efforts of the federation, about 300 trainers who work across the country have been trained. Substantial strengthening of the coaching staff will serve the newly introduced system of their certification. It helps to ensure that coaches are well known not only in this sport, but also have sufficient knowledge of psychology, physiology and pedagogy. More than a hundred specialists have already received appropriate standard certificates.
Uzbek jang san’ati is hugely popular with girls; we have more girls than boys attending our training sessions. Its spread is also aided by the fact that it has many directions: it all depends on the choice of a trainee. They develop sports, martial arts and health trends. The most popular reason for the new generation is sports and recreation.
In our sections we have also children with disabilities. During the lessons, they are never separated from the main participants, and thus achieve better results.”
