Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Pankration-An Olympic Combat Sport is an illustrated reconstruction of the ancient Greek sport of pankration. This sport lasted over a millennium (from at least the seventh century BCE to the fourth century CE) and was the most popular event in the ancient Olympic Games. In pankration, well rounded fighters used whatever worked, with minimal rules, to respond to the circumstances of a specific competition and, with no restrictions, to fight in actual battle. The sport of pankration was effectively mixed martial arts competition, or-as Aristotle describes it-a combination of boxing and wrestling. There are considerations to reintroduce it in the modern Games. The book draws information on pankration from all the primary sources-from the literature and the products of the visual arts of antiquity. Volume I traces the origin and path of pankration in Greek mythology and history; addresses the physical and psychological characteristics of successful pankratiasts in antiquity; details the rules of competition; and discusses fighting style, specialization, and preparation of the ancient practitioners. Volume II describes in detail the fighting techniques employed in pankration, including the fighting stance, defensive moves, strategy and tactics, use of pressure points, strikes, locks, chokes, throws, and takedowns, as well as counters to these techniques. This book's comprehensive research renders it a reference for students of the topic of pankration and, more generally, of combat sport in ancient Greece. The book also provides practitioners and enthusiasts of combat sports/martial arts useful information and lessons from the ancient practice of pankration. It is valuable reading for those interested in modern mixed martial arts competition. Readers will find in the book both new information about the Western combat sport that preceded the development of the Asian traditions, and 100 admirable artistic representations of competition from ancient Greek vases and sculptures. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
