USAFPA Competition Rules INDEX: The New World Organization Rules The Contest Area General Rules Kato Pankration / Submission Fighting Rules ... Abridged Rules - Mixed Martial Arts THE NEW WORLD ORGANIZATION RULES The rules of any sport always benefit some athletes and hinder others. Pankration is no different in this respect. We have athletes who are primarily strikers and kickers. They favor stand up style. We have wrestlers who favor ground-grappling style. Historically both Ano (standup) and Kato (ground grappling) have been an accepted part of Pankration. The rules under which we have competed up until now favored the grappler. The striker/kicker could use only light contact. This made it easy for the grappler to take their opponent to the ground. The striker/kicker now has a 10 count, which will win the match. TKO and KO rules are in effect. All of the head is a target except for the face. A throw that takes the wind as well as kicks and strikes can win a match by a 10 count. This makes it fair and unbiased. Spectators have said unlimited periods of ground grappling make for a boring match. Time on the ground is limited and the athletes will be brought back to their feet. This will encourage greater skill among the grapplers who now must get a submission quickly. Ground time is 30 seconds.

Pankration Serwis o sztuce walki Pankration Strona domowa do nawigacji Historia Pankrationu Autor: admin. Kategorie : Wiadomości 1 komentarz Pankration wydaje się bardzo brutalną walką, która niegdyś należała do starożytnych konkurencji olimpijskich. Walka ta powstała z połączenia boksu i zapasów, a jedynymi zasadami tam był zakaz gryzienia przeciwnika oraz atakowania jego oczu. Poza tym wszystko było dozwolone, a zawodnik, który nie miał sił już walczyć, bądź ocenił swoje szanse na marne mógł zakończyć w każdym momencie walkę poprzez podniesienie ręki. Bardzo rzadko zdarzały się śmiertelne walki, a wszystko to dzięki możliwości rezygnacji z niej. W 648 roku p.n.e. pankration został włączony do dyscyplin starożytnej olimpiady. Obecnie można zobaczyć jego powrót w dyscyplinie walki MMA w Japonii. Dyscyplina sportowa Autor: admin. Kategorie : Wiadomości komentarze (%) Pankration to starożytna dyscyplina sportowa, w której udział brali wyłącznie mężczyźni. Z czasem została ona włączona jako dyscyplina walki do starożytnych igrzysk olimpijskich. Pankration powstał z połączenia boksu i zapasów. Walka ta była bardzo brutalna, bo jedynymi zakazami był zakaz atakowania oczu przeciwnika oraz gryzienia go. Walkę kończył zazwyczaj zawodnik, który się poddawał poprzez podniesienie ręki. Niezwykle rzadko się zdarzało, że któryś z zawodników ginął w takiej walce, gdyż na każdym etapie słabszy zawodnik mógł ją zakończyć. Młodzi chłopcy również mogli brać udział w olimpijskim pankratione, jednak w złagodzonej jego formie. Motyw tej walki stał się inspiracją dla wielu rzeźbiarzy starożytnych.

Modern Day Pankration The current wave of "no holds barred" and pay per view fighting events has brought with it a curiosity and interest to it's ancient predecessor Pankration. Just as the boxing venue grew and evolved from ancient Greece to Madison square garden and the rest of the world, the skills, techniques, training methods, rules, attire and safety measures have also evolved.
