Reseña del libro "Pankration: The Unchained Combat Sport of Ancient Greece (en Inglés)"
PANKRATION: The Unchained Combat Sport of Ancient Greece is a fully- illustrated guide to what was the cornerstone of the early Olympic Games and Panhellenic festivals. It examines the brutal blood sport based on the author's more than forty-five years of extensive research and practice. Considered the precursor of today's mixed martial arts cage competitions, many historians also contend that pankration laid the groundwork for the development of Asian karate and kung-fu, as well as other fighting styles throughout the world.The content traces pankration's historical origins in mythology and on the battlefield where it was known as pammachon, to its transformation and prominence as an Olympic spectacle. It also explores combat sports of earlier civilizations such as Egypt, Minoa, and Crete as well as the adoption of pankration by the Romans. Boxing (pyxmachia) and wrestling (pale), which formed the foundation of pankration's diverse skill-set are also detailed.Event rules, an analysis of pankration techniques, and training methods are covered along with a listing of all the Olympic pankration champions from its inception in 648 B.C. until the last documented contest on record. Emphasis is given to the role that pankration played in Hellenic culture and its religious connection to the gods themselves. The book includes numerous works of art depicted on vases, frescoes, sculptures, and coins showing pankratiasts in heated action and other combat scenes.This definitive work adds new information to the author's published books, and brings to light the importance of pankration as not only the Original MMA, but as the missing link in martial arts evolution.
