Pankration is a combat sport founded as a blend of boxing and wrestling. In order to force their opponents to concede defeat, the Pankration artist uses punches, kicks, grabs, throws, joint-locks, and chokes. Ground fighting is a large part of training. Because of its early date, Pankration is considered by some authorities to be the first true martial art. Also, because Alexander the Great's armies carried the sport with them across the Alps into Asia, and because of the similarities of basic techniques, a number of authorities are of the opinion that the Asian martial arts were based on Pankration, though no other evidence exists to support this. read more at http://fitness-in-ireland.blogspot.com

@NikosR9 You use its modern re-construction. Ancient pangration art died with the advent of christianity - though even prior to that it was surviving mostly as a sport, not in the original form.

Modern pagkration is a re-construction of a lost art on the basis of artistic depictions, descriptions by ancient writers combined with our modern understanding of martial arts - they had 2 legs and 2 hands like us so what worked for them must work for us.

And it is pretty convincing from all aspects.

@mrmeekah Macedonians were just another Greek tribe. Actually they were the tribe from which Dorians sprung - Dorians were simply those Macedonians that left Olympus (the holy mountain of Greeks, found in the region of Macedonia) and conquered parts of the south Greece in post-Mycenaean times.

All Macedonians-Dorians, Epirotes-Aetolians, Aeolians, Boetians, Ionians, Arcadians had been Greek tribes constituting the Hellenic (Greek) nation.

Pangration was used by all
