   Extractions: News About Us Schools Events ... Search The Olympic games were eventually adopted and reborn throughout the world alternating the competition in a new country every 4 years, however, Pankration competition was not included. It is only because of the sparse historical records and the special interests of a few individuals that Pankration is having a rebirth in this generation. 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. For the most part this evolution has been beneficial to the sport and it's participants. Now after centuries ancient Greek Pankration is getting the opportunity to become Modern Pankrationin the same way as it's brother boxing did. What is a modern day Pankratiast?

The Spartans allow even these practices, but the Eleans and the laws of the games exclude them."

   Extractions: Full Review In Ancient Greece, long before the first millennium, an unrivaled period philosophical and athletic achievement resulted in the creation of Platonic and Aristotelian philosophies, the first Democracy, the writings of Homer, and more. The Olympic Games entertained thousands, and one of its sports, Pankration, was especially entertaining. Its effective combination of boxing, wrestling, and systematic “war dances” appeased the Great Emperor Alexander, who asked a Pankration champion to train his troops in Pankration. Philosophers, including Socrates, Aristotle, Anacharsis, various sophists, and others, witnessed the popular sport firsthand. They spiritually, mentally and philosophically objectified it – creating the first Martial Art in history. Soon, the entire army was using Pankration in warfare and in conquest of new lands to the east, such as India, they spread the Art.

    Extractions: Join Date: 08-26-03 Posts: OE: Greek Pankration the Source of Eastern Martial Arts? 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)?

    What happened opened our eyes 360 degrees back to greek pankration. Nobody but heavyweight boxing champions of the world are paid the most for the least

    Extractions: Happy Millennium Karate Voice Readers! Hello loyal readers. I hope each and every one of you finds a way to make happiness your duty and not your destiny. Have you been following what has been going on in Greece? I don’t know about you, but what we westerners call Greek Mythology is to the hard core Greeks, a religion unto itself. As an underdog supporter of separation of Church and State, I hope the Orthodox Christian majority will respect the religion that developed from Greek Mythology. To me, freedom is more important than truth, or in other words it springboards off knowledge, wisdom and truth in sequential order. The Asian respect for western culture during the Ching and even now, stemmed from basically the language of science, math. We all know we owe Greek culture when it comes to foundations of math. So; awhile back the magazine powers that be could not get enough of this UFC. What happened opened our eyes 360 degrees back to Greek Pankration. Nobody but heavyweight boxing champions of the world are paid the most for the least work. The transition of Gumby moves from little payday UFC to WCW and WWF, ala the ‘luchadore – cruiserweights’ merely created a ‘reality’ contrast. For example, boxing has evolved over the years to about 17 weight divisions. No one remembers anyone except the heavyweight champion, albeit, there are a few organizations claiming they have the ‘true’ champ, thus the belt unification trend now being set by England’s champ who unified the major belts from his title fight with Holyfield.
