I can read and have some knowledge of ancient Greek pankration and wrestling. Wrestlers were allowed almost all attempts to defeat a rival except such as gouging of eyes; wrestlers fought, at times, to the death as long as they followed the rules of the time.

@EUAGELISTRIA or until they total collapse and start the breakup of the Eurozone.

@pochazet MMA means Mixed Martial arts not pankration.

In my country our martial art teaches us to keep fighters from taking you to the ground or slamming or throwing you if they do you reverse. You use their own weight against them. Im talking about South Asian martial arts BTW.

It's pity that in Greece goverments don't want us know our great history and don't even tell us we have one special martial art.We had others too for sure.I'm gonna try to become very good so Greeks understand some things.

This vid is a waste of time. The title suggests brutal ancient Greek wrestling but in essense it shows mostly lay persons whose ego dominates the vid; what combat wrestling there is, it is always interrupted by the ref when action between wrestlers shows some promise of real action. Ancient wrestling was never interrupted! If you want to comment on greek wrestling per se use a title that is appropriate so we don't waste our time hoping to see a resemblance of brutal Ancient Greek wrestling.

Comrade, How do you know what was the ancient Greek wrestling Pankration ?

@bschd
It's modern pankration. I hate to say it but I think viewers would be scared if they watched original ancient greek pankration, where, yes, fights would be several times more unforgiving.
Gotta love modern censorship and denialism.

@sompret, Your words are true! Modern pankration - a sport. Why violence? The winner is the skill, stamina and will to win. Pankration realistic sport, it is difficult to condemn or put on extra points, as in sports boxing or wrestling. Victory is awarded objectively.
