  • Thats an accurate discription. But take note that wining 3 to 5 fights to take 1st at this level tournament is no joke. Give it a try.

  • @socalpankration

    So for these fight you have to win 5 fight and it doesnt matter how long or short as no time limits right?? so if i take him down 3 time within let just say 40 second?? the fight over yeh?

  • @bikerboyzful

    Each Mens match is 5 minutes long unless a submission, stoppage or 15 point advantage.. If a fighter is not improving his/her position after 15 - 30 seconds they are restarted on their feet.

  • @JoachimderZweite Youre right, the T is pronounced, in greek there is no such thing as a letter that is pronounced differently without a digraph (such as Alpha and Iota next to eachother meaking the e sound)

    Im greek, I know these things :P

  • Are there any rules? It just looks like street fighting for thugs. It has none of the class of Judo or Greco Roman or Olympic Wrestling. This is the human equivalent of dog fighting yet Pankration was an Ancient Greek sport. It is pronounced with a hard T in Greek - pan kra teeon - not pan kra shun. Of course I would never dare correct any of these fighters about their pronunciation.

  • Good footage, but the music you used should be used when old people play gold fish. Like you had thousand upon thousands of songs to pick... and you picked that one

  • Looks pretty brutal.

  • for me pankration fighst are most beautiful ao all martial arts (its because of their awesome throws)

  • No Pankration original is the MMA of ancient greeks but in this tournament doing amateur MMA

  • me too

  • in other words pankration is modern day mma and yes it was the worlds first martial art.
