[5] Movahed's father was a teacher who moved from Ardabil to Babolsar during the reign of Reza Shah.

[5][8] Coaches soon noted Movahed's technical prowess, and believed that with the proper conditioning, he had the potential to be a world champion.

Movahed later moved to the United States, but refused to train American wrestlers because they might face Iranian opponents in international tournaments.
