Pankration, is the father of modern mixed martial arts and has been around for thousands of years. It was an Olympic sport in ancient Greece from 648 BC to 393 AD. It includes boxing, kickboxing, wrestling and submission techniques both standing and on the ground. A contest is decided on submissions i.e. taps, or verbal surrender, or on points at the end of the allocated time. It is said that Pankration was spread to the world by the armies of Alexander the Great, during his conquests. Pankartion in Australia is a growing martial sport, and is governed by Australian Federation of Pankration.
