This is Pankration in name only. We can't practice real Pankration as it was practiced in ancient Greece today, because they left no manuals. We can only guess what it was like based on some paintings. Not enough to revive real Pankration. MMA has nothing to do with Prankation by the way. Yes, there are similarities in concept. But MMA didn't come from Pankration and was not inspired by it at all. MMA as we know it today came from Brazilian Vale-Tudo. MMA started from the UFC and the first UFCs were basically Brazilian Vale-Tudo competitions set in the U.S. So MMA is a direct decedent from Brazilian Vale-Tudo.

@mardukdemigod1523

5 жыл бұрын

We can say that Brazilian Vale Tudo is one of the precursors of MMA. But to make it real MMA, as it is today, there has to be a set of rules. Vale tudo, which is basically a no-holds barred style vs style match has little to no rules. The Japanese Shooto has a lot to do with what modern MMA has today(including the rules) MORE THAN the vale tudo. Shooto competition started since mid 80s and there are pre-1993 footage here in youtube(thats years ahead than the UFC).

@Crypt0n1an

5 жыл бұрын

Hmmm that is interesting, there is just one problem. Do you think that the idea of using many techniques from various fighting styles was independently arrived at by the vale tudo inventor(s)? Something tells me not very likely. The point being that the first in history to have utilized multiple fighting styles in one sport were the Greeks. The knowledge of this was not lost to history, seeing as we know about it today. So this means that it's possible that Vale Tudo and all attempts to infuse many fighting styles into one sport were inspired by the first who ever did this the ancient Greeks with Pankration. Of course we can't know for sure as we would have to speak to the guy who invented this and he's probably long dead by now.
