MODERN GREEK PANKRATION ATHLINA
-
STRIKE & GRAPPLE
In preparation for future Olympics
Pankration is a martial arts sport
introduced in the
Greek
Olympic games in
648 BC. This martial art was founded as a blend of
boxing and wrestling. Because of this, the term Pankration
comes from the Greek παγκράτιον, literally meaning "all
powers" and that from πάν (pan) "all" + κράτος (kratos)
"strength" or "power". The term is also used to describe the
sport's modern variations. Some also argue it to be the
first all-encompassing fighting system in human history, and
it bears many similarities to modern MMA styles.
