Pammachon: Martial Arts On Our Planet

This is a presentation of PAMMACHON and PAGRATION in the modern martial arts. The ancient Hellenic martial art of Pankration has described from the ancient times until today. Research includes many ancient scripts from ancient texts from many countries and many archaeological items from many places. PANCRATIUM is composed of pan and kratos, and accordingly signifies an athletic game, in which all the powers of the fighter were called into action. The Pancratium was one of the games or gymnastic contests which were exhibited at all the great festivals of Greece; it consisted of boxing and wrestling (Pigmi and Pali), and was reckoned to be one of the heavy or hard exercises (varea or varitera). PAMMACHON is the martial art that the fighter wins in two of the three fights (Pigmi, Pali, Pagration) in Olympic games in ancient Greece.
