glockmeister Posted June 11, 2005 Posted June 11, 2005 Does anyone here know anything about Pankration other than where it comes from? I saw some web sites on it but one was not even in english. Has anyone here trained i it or have any experience with it? Is it really an effective self defense art? From what I have seen, it looks like it would be a pretty brutal sport.

The Phenom Posted June 11, 2005 Posted June 11, 2005 Pancration I think was a Greek form of wrestling hundreds of years ago.The only two things not allowed were strikes to the groin or to the eyes. Everything else was allowed and the objective to winning was to make your opponent give up.
