Pankration: Translates to all powers fighting. Pankration is the oldest martial art form in history, which was developed in ancient Greece. It was first documented in the first Olympic Games of 776 B.C. In this original ultimate fighting contest gladiators would use their skill in hand to hand combat and often fight to the death. Pankration has been revived by Jeffrey T. Funicello in 1990. In modern times, Pankration is considered a hybrid style mixed martial art that resembles ultimate fighting and NHB competitions. Pankration recognizes the importance of all ranges of fighting, from striking and CQB to Grappling and Groundwork.
