Home About Contact Login ... Subscribe Combat Sports - Ancient Greek Pankration Fighting Pankration Combat Sports started at the Greek Olympic Games in 648 B.C. This sport represents a mixture of Boxing and Wrestling. Pankration means "all powers" in Ancient Greek Language. It is also referred to as power or strength. The sport has quite a few variations and this term is used to describe these as well. What makes this sport so special is that is that many people considered this the very first full combat fighting system in human history. Many people also believe that this was the first athletic event that came as close to hand to hand combat with no rules. These days modern MMA Competitions still use a lot of the methodologies that have originated from the Pankration Combat Sport that originated in Ancient Greece. Greek Mythology believes that Heracles and Theseus started Pankration and that it used both Wrestling as well as Boxing to be used against their opponents. Yet another name for Pankration was Pammachion or Pammachon which meant total combat. Back around 1700 BC is when they feel this sport originated, so it is very old. This Combat Sport originated because people in this society during this time had a real need to either view or participate in a violent sport. This sport filled the need of being a "total contest" sport, whereas boxing or wrestling done separately didn't quite fit the bill back then. In fact, there is evidence that suggests that Pankration used in not only Sports but also in Combat was around since 2000 BC. In addition to combining both Boxing and Wrestling, this sport also included techniques such as blows to the lower extremeties, which make this sport of the ancients very similar to the modern day Mixed Martial Arts Competitions that you would see mostly on Pay Per View. Other tactics used in Pankration Competitions included Joint Locks, Takedowns and Chokes.

"The pankratiasts, my boy, practice a dangerous brand of wrestling. They have to endure black eyes ... and learn holds by which one who has fallen can still win, and they must be skillful in various ways of strangulation. They bend ankles and twist arms and throw punches and jump on their opponents." - Philostratos, On Gymnastics , second to third century A.D. THE EVENT The pankration, a form of extreme wrestling, was the last of the combat sports and among the last of all ancient sports to join the Olympic program. While it might seem the most violent Greek sport, the Greeks considered boxing more dangerous. If a man was entered in both events, he asked for the pankration to be scheduled first so he would not be worn out for boxing. Like other combat sports, pankration had no weight classes, rounds or time limit. A victor was declared when one man admitted defeat by raising an index finger. Bouts began with both men standing but quickly gave way to ground wrestling. The genitals were not off limits. Only biting and eye gouging were against the rules, though there is evidence pankratiasts frequently tried to get away with both.
