By Robert Rousseau, ExtremeProSports.com Pankration, an ancient combat sport that has in recent decades experienced a revival of sorts, nearly became an Olympic event in 2004. However, its application was denied. A shame considering its glorious and ancient past. One that undoubtedly many do not realize involved the same Olympic Games that they were recently denied enrollment in. To know more is to read on. Olympic Pankration - The Early Years In the Ancient Greek language, "pan" means all and "kratos" means strength or power. Thus, the word pankration in essence means, "no holds barred". However, the word "pankration," is really a more contemporary term for the sport that was initiated by Jim Arvanitis ( a modern day champion of Pankration ). Originally it was referred to as pagratio. In short, pankration became an Olympic sport during the 33rd Olympiad in 648 B.C. However, it was much more than just an athletic endeavor during those times. It was, in fact, the basis for training for all Ancient Greek troops - including the Spartan Hoplite warriors - as well as Alexander the Great's Macedonian Phalanxes.

This could explain the misidentification of representations of pankratiasts on surviving examples of ancient Greek art. This article presents arguments that the symbol of a male figure on Alexander III gold and silver coins represents the guard stance of pankration; and by extension, constitutes the guard stance of pankration on other examples of extant Greek visual art.

67. What Is Pankration? - Martial Arts Find out about this long, lost Ancient Greek form that was part of the original Olympics and a key component to the training in Alexander the Great s armies http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art26080.asp

forum radio shops sweeps ... Body Care All times in EST Full Schedule Martial Arts Site Caroline Baker BellaOnline's Martial Arts Editor What is Pankration? While I cover some of the broader known Martial Arts, I also like to spend a moment from time to time on styles that are barely mentioned outside of those heavily involved in the Arts. Pankration is one of these, finding its origins in Greece as part of the original Olympics in 648 BC. It is derived from two root words: pan meaning ‘all’ and kratos meaning ‘strength or force.’ Differing from other Olympia counterparts such as wrestling, pankration allowed strikes and throws. The only attacks that were not allowed were those consider dishonorable, such as biting or attacks to the eyes. The contests would continue until sunset or an opponent giving up and sometimes even death! The champion would be recognized as the greatest all-around athlete of the whole world. As in other Martial Arts styles, there are many different aspects to it that make it more than just a fighting style. There are forms and techniques used to improve the fighting style. And there is an internal piece that is as critical to the warriors in developing as the external discipline. Under the leadership of Alexander the Great, it is believed that his armies helped to spread this art into the Eastern worlds. While it is debated how much influence this art had on the present day Eastern Martial Arts such as Kung Fu and Karate, it is clear that characteristics from pankration do exist in many current day styles.

They've got everything from boxing, kickboxing, muay thai, submission wrestling and pankration. There's even focus mitt training. The school is open to both recreational and professional fighers and includes men and women. The trainers are awesome. The layout for the club is spacious and gives everyone lots of room to train on the matts and in the ring. One of the bonuses for me is that they've got showers there since I've gone to clubs before that don't have them. Prices are reasonable and worth every penny.

Web Buzzle.com Home World News Latest Articles Escape Hatch ... Sports Articles Athletics: Pankration for the Masses Will Buckley looks back at the ancient sport of pankration, a violent mixture of wrestling and boxing. So Wrote Markos Aurelios Asklepiades in an inscription on a statue of Markos Aurelios Asklepiades in Rome. It provides a vivid demonstration that sportsmen's capacity for self-promotion is as old as the seven hills of Rome. It also suggests that the makers of the heavily flogged Rome (BBC2, Wednesdays) might have missed a trick by focusing quite so heavily on the sex and entirely ignoring the athletics. The inscription is doubly remarkable. First, it hints at the extent of athletic festivals at the time. 'There were probably between 300 or 400 in existence, some on a four-year basis, but many yearly,' says Dr Jason Konig, author of Athletics and Literature in the Roman Empire. 'It is clear that the athletics programme was enormous and very big business.' Second, the range of citizenships Asklepiades was granted illustrates the breadth of interest. 'National identity is a fairly modern concept,' says Konig. 'The kind of identity that mattered then was city identity. And if a citizen won a Olympic medal he would be rewarded with enormous amounts of money and they would even knock down the city walls for the triumphal victory parade.' Asklepiades was so fearsome at pankration - a mixture of wrestling and boxing, a bit like kick boxing - that there are tales of opponents who ran screaming from the ring the moment the undefeated heavyweight pankration champion of the ancient world removed his cloak. Even Richard Dunn waited for the bell to ring before capitulating against Ali.

The greeks practiced a form of martial arts called "pankration". As you are probably well aware this form of martial arts existed for nearly 7 centuries before what we currently know as eastern martial arts, came along. On many of the vase paintings depicting this in practice they use many things we associate with modern eastern martial arts. We all know that Alexander's army reached as far as India. Do you think the idea that Alexanders army brought Pankration to India is possible (and from there spread to the far east)?
