Pankration was a sporting event in the ancient Greek Olympic games that was first introduced in the games of 648 BC. The rules of the sport were simple, no biting or eye gouging and victory was secured through knockout, submission or death. The historical records of the early pankration are shrouded and mixed with Greek mythology and it is not known whether these accounts of championship bouts and feats of strength of the champions were myth or actual accounts.

Home News Members Benefits ... History Grandmaster Jim Arvanitis Grandmaster Pankratiast Jim Arvanitis commenced his martial arts training at age 8 in Athens, Greece. His studies include the Western styles of boxing, Greco-Roman Combat Grappling (still taught in backyard schools in Greece), and Boxe Francaise Savate. He began his intensive research into the history and concepts of the ancient Hellenic pankration in 1963, as a young adult. Arvanitis' supplemental training in Asian martial arts consists of Muay-Thai and Combat Judo. The innovative Greek-American athlete modified many of the techniques from this vast array of styles by adding modern principles of kinesiology and leverage. In addition, supplemental training, sound combative strategies, proper nutrition, and pragmatic skills training became emphasized elements in his regimen. What soon materialized was a single entity that Mr. Arvanitis labeled Mu Tau (a Greek acronym for "Martial Truth"). SPECIAL ACCOMPLISHMENTS Jim Arvanitis, referred to as Keereeos (Greek: Patriarch) by his followers, is internationally recognized as the "Father of Modern Pankration", having revived the ancient Greek sport as a comprehensive combat art in the late 1960's. Although the term, itself, has always existed in Greece, the practice of the original art has been dormant for more than 2000 years. Arvanitis was the very first to rebuild the art and expose it to the international martial arts community when he appeared on the cover of Black Belt magazine in 1973.

Pankration Martial Art Site Map Pankration Project Pankration Links WORLD RENAISSANCE PANKRATION ACADEMY Background The west has long been familiar with oriental martial arts such as Karate, Kung-Fu and Judo. What is not so familiar, with the exception of modern boxing and wrestling, is the long tradition of combat arts that have arisen here on European soil. Foremost amongst these is the ancient Hellenic (Greek) martial art of 'Pankration': pronounced variously as; 'Pan-kray-shun' or 'Pan-krat-ion' depending upon the Greek dialect. The name itself is derived from two Greek root words: ‘Pan’ meaning all and Kratos’ meaning strength, power or force . Therefore, Pankration was a martial combat art that included the use of any and all forms of technique and power. The later developments of boxing and wrestling were taken from the Pankration art and distilled into sports. Beginnings: The historical origins of Pankration disappear back into the mists of time, back to the ‘Heroic’ age of Greece and the times of Homer’s Trojan War period (around 1300 BC). In legend, its founder was the hero and demi-god Hercules ( Heracles ) or sometimes Theseus: the famous hero who slew the Minotaur - the half man half bull monster in the Labyrinth at the palace of Knossos on the island of Crete.

NINJA vs WRESTLER (excerpts of me from the deadofwinter message board) February 2002 by: John Chalos (Being someone who studied both of those, I feel obligated to say what I think, nobody has to read this though. Its just me killing time.) The wrestler vs ninja debate: A.) wrestler Olympic wrestlers train hard: Carrying a partner on their shoulders for laps up stairs, wind sprints, Navy Seal type grinder drills (that include push-ups, v-ups, sit-ups and sprawling drills), actual time spent in hours of drills and actually grappling. Wrestlers are among the toughest athletes on the planet. Their techniques have their roots in ancient Greek arts practiced by the Spartans, Athenians, Alexander the Great's armies and even Roman Gladiators. Ancient Greek wrestling, boxing and "pankration" (an original Olympic event resembling modern no holds barred fighting) schools predate Shaolin Chinese Kung Fu and Okinawan Karate. Shaolin monks even give credit to Greek and Indian wrestlers among their list of inspirations. (Alexander's armies reached India) Pankration was originally devided into boxing and wrestling so one could focus on a single aspect of combat. Striking arts and grappling arts were both practiced by ancient Greek warriors. Never did a soldier take only one of them. wrestling is a sport. Not a complete combat art.

NewsFinder.Org : Selected Article Page Our First Award Click and Vote for us Return to Main page Pankration, An Ancient Martial Art ..:: Posted and ? by S. Fotopoulou ::.. Pankration, sometimes spelled pancration, pancratium or even pankratium, was a combination of earlier forms of boxing and wrestling practiced by the Greeks. Wrestling The various styles of worldwide Wrestling in hand-to-hand fighting have preceded, without any doubt, the many kinds of Boxing we know today. Sumerians were the first to mention a fight opposing Gilgamesh to Enkidu. Egypt left us through its low reliefs an extract of the various techniques of Wrestling, whose rules neared those of all-in Wrestling. In Greece, there were formerly several fighting systems. Wrestling itself was divided into three principal styles: the Orthopales, the Pale and the Alyndisiz where the legendary Milon of Kroton distinguished himself in winning six times at Olympia. Proud of his strength, he liked to show it off: holding a pomegranate in his hand, he challenged whoever to make him open his fingers or to crush the fruit by squeezing them. He was defeated for the first time during the 67th Olympic games (512 BC), when he was over forty. Pugilism If Wrestling was the sport Greeks valued the most, Pugilism and Pankration were also practiced, so that they very early became Olympic disciplines.

Origin's of Karate *The following is a compilation of information gathered from books, magazine articles, and papers. Not all opinions presented are duplicated in all sources, especially in the ancient history's. An accurate history of the martial arts is probably impossible. there are many reasons for this. First, nearly every country has its own native style of fighting. Tradition has it that Chinese kung fu began in China in 2,700 B.C. Judo and jujutsu are native to Japan . From Okinawa comes karate , Korea, taekwondo , France, savate , and even Russia, sambo Another enormous problem in dealing with the history of the martial arts is that there is little written evidence to examine at least in pre-20th century history. Martial arts techniques have resisted examination in great part because they have traditionally been considered secret, and therefore nothing has been written down. Martial arts practitioners over the centuries have refused to communicate their knowledge to outsiders. This was because of their deadly potential, an edge that required knowledge to be restricted to members of one religion, one school of fighting, one political point of view, or one social class. Masutatsu Oyama, believed that the origin of modern karate was to be found in the most popular - and brutal- of Greek Olympic games:

Also, the reason I bring up Caucasian stuff from early people in those countries is because they were western people originally and they started MA in those countries. MA started off with many forms/branches/styles in different parts of the world. So no one can claim its origin.. Just like different people had different Gods.. But who discovered God first Is a million dollar question.. We always say that Greeks were the father of all these.. Because we only have good archeological records of only this civilization in great detail.. Other civilizations we could not excavate much !.. So their civilizations will be hidden in mystery forever.. Greek civilization is just a tip of the ice berg when it comes to MA history and its development/contributions.. Also MA history and its contributions have been much neglected by historians/researchers.. Its so vast and different/unique that to compare all MA forms in the world civilization is very tough and researchers lack understanding of these MA forms.

He died here, boxing in the stadium, having prayed to Zeus for victory or death. Age 35. Farewell." -Epitaph at Olympia Both of these quotes are from "Combat Sports in the Ancient World" Michael B. Poliakoff 1987 Yale University Press, New Haven and London. Duk Koo Kim was a Korean boxer. These two statements point out one of the essential differences between modern society and earlier ages. (The classical Greek world was deliberately chosen for an example since western democratic civilization is thought to derive from it.) The difference may be stated simply; in the modern age the ideal is "life at all costs" while in ancient Greece the ideal was more to the tune of "having a life worth living". Both men above were boxers, both societies viewed boxing as a sport, the difference is in the attitude of the society toward that sport and the commitment of the men who compete in it.
