    what is pankration ?

    Pankration was an Olympic event years ago. Pankration could be considered the forefather to MMA. It was for all intents and purposes MMA. The sport was eventually broken up into stand up only [Boxing] and grappling only [greco Roman wrestling]

    Jim Arvanitis claims to have revived Pankration back in the States. he basically trained like any other MMA'er slapped the Pankration name on it introduced some wacky titles and is claiming to be the authority figure in Pankration and nobody besides him or his associates can use the term Pankration [Basically he's Bart Vale with an afro]

    The Olympic Commitee was trying to revive Pankration for the Olympics when it was in Greece but he threw a temper tantrum when he was't asked to be involved. Two of the Coaches to be involved were Ken Shamrock and Keith Hackney [I believe Matt Hume was involved as well because he calls his gym AMC Pankration]
