[flysnake12]

these techniques wont always work. I have seen Pankration fighter get ko by Thai fighter

[panos19951]

@flysnake12 so what??? there is no matter who wins in a fight like that because the thai fighter was maybe better than pankration fighter...so my point is that we cant understand if thai boxing is better from a fight!!!!!!!

[jkullander]

what's the name of this song!? Sounds Great!

[noobay]

For some people the fighting parts might look stupid, or boring, but actually doing that is intense like HELL, belive me!

i'm doing that and its really fun, not talking about the fear for your life you have while fighting (please dont break my nose lol... happens allot though)

[chexmix323]

haha this is a random question but i am shure you fellas must know more than me so,... how does current day pankration differ from the style used by the greeks 2000 years ago?

correct me if i am wrong but it was more grappling and subs and throws correct?

my knowlage of this style is minimum and i'd like to learn more. i am sorry if i offend.

[sprayballisticz]

if you wanna know about pankration type in youtube: human weapon pankration........ in pankration you use elbows ,knees,punches,kicks ,grapples,throws,armlocks,ever­ything and you learn how to combine these things........in this video they dont have the right technique,they just combine some martial arts that have all the moves of pankration

[Dimitraki91]

they reckon that old school pankration was pretty similar to modern mma but obviously made for the battlefield.. i guess it wouldve adressed multiple attackers and how to really kill your opponent with ur bare hands as opposed to just knockin him out but pretty similar to modern mma from wat i hear

[bizitch71717]

except pankration, which means total strength, came from the battlefield art of panmachia or pammachon, which means total combat. and it's highly unlikely that you are going to kill somebody with your hands unless you have time to do so.

[Dimitraki91]

fair enough but my point was it wouldve been more realisticly based than mma. mma consisting of rules like no strikes to the groin, throat or eyes..no kicking a downed opponent etc. These would be things you would presume a soldier would capitalise on in auctual battle. Punching an opponent in the throat would cause him to suffocate and die yet it is very simple and not time consuming.

[bizitch71717]

true, and although biting and gouges were illegal many of the winners or losers walked away partially blind or with huge bite marks on them. them greeks were crazy.

[Wacked420]

they brutalized the art way back when. for example. spiked gloves

[MihaliAngeli]

Hey chexmix323, pankration is a style based on boxing&wrestling.(although they used locks and chokes and other submission aspects also.)

this style is said to be the very first and beginning forms of MMA.

they use punches, kicks, elbows and even headbutts (respectively)

the stance is again a cross between a boxers stance and a wrestlers with nearly all the weight on the rear (for stability and power)and the front font touching the ground with the ball of the foot.

hope any of this helps:)

[erosensai]

hes a good fighter,BUT he is not fighting pankration properly...fuking shit he looks like he is fighting in karate with there uniform.

[PoWerExcesS]

are you totally sure that this isn't pankration? Im thinking of picking this sport up so i would like to know.

If it isn't pankration then what is it?

[not4resale]

I think he developed his own style. He's also the head of a sect of Krav Maga.

[philosopher2king]

This guy exemplifies everything I love about my sport; technique, efficiency and all around superb fighting skills (he sure loves that arm bar).
