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.
