What is Pankration?

Pankration is a Greek form of Mixed Martial Arts. It was introduced into the Greek Olympic Games in 648 BC and founded as a blend of boxing and wrestling. Modern Mixed Martial Arts competitions have come to feature many of the same methods that were used in Pankration competitions in the ancient Greek world. Modern Pankration is now more known as a mild form of Mixed Martial Arts. The USA Federation of Pankration Athlima (USAFPA) is the only US organization recognized by FILA, which is the Federation that runs Wrestling in the Olympics and is the driving force for the reentry of Pankration in the Summer Olympic Games.
