Extractions: (Above photo) Karate Illustrated Magazine (November 1971): Featured in this issue is a story on the Thai Art of Siamese Kick-Boxing American Kickboxing in Limbo During 1972 and 1973 American Kickboxing was dead in North America. Kung Fu and Bruce Lee were the big craze at the time. The fantasy world of the movies (taking out multitudes of opponents with one blow) appealed to the general population. It was easier to believe that a Martial Artist was so deadly, he practised by never hitting someone, because if he did, he would kill someone (truthfully, it encouraged people to train without ever having to strike someone who could strike back resulting in pain)! A few people tried to teach the sport but to small numbers of students. One of the more successful during this period in time was a Joe Lewis student by the name of Jerry Smith . Smith played a stronger role in the sport during the resurgence that was to come in 1974. Though the sport was quiet in North America several Americans had made names for themselves while serving in the military and stationed in the Orient during the Vietnam War.

Extractions: Journal of Manly Arts: July 2001 By Glynn A. Leyshon Adapted from Of Mats and Men: The Story of Canadian Amateur and Olympic Wrestling from 1600 to 1984 Since Canada was settled by people with a sports and a wrestling tradition, it would seem logical to assume that when they established themselves finally in Canada, they would maintain these pastimes. Despite the inheritance, there is only evidence of sporadic involvement in sport generally throughout pioneer Canada. The young men seem to think they can get all the exercise they need in their ordinary occupations. Such games as football, baseball, cricket, hockey, lacrosse and tennis and the like are never seen and even skating and sliding are almost entirely confined to small boys. [ The statement above is a bit extreme and was written by an American visitor. However, his viewpoint, taken at its most pessimistic, does reflect the fact that if athletics and wrestling existed they were not widespread, popular, or organized. Guillet, in reference to pioneers in Ontario, states, "But while some had leisure in which they could enjoy such pastimes, most of the settlers were too busy to enter into them." [

The state was dedicated to creating superbly trained soldiers. It was these Spartan hoplites that would face the Persian Empire at the pass of Thermopylae.

Technically schooled in the pale remnants of the Grecian fighting arts and later in other full contact systems, it was Arvanitis' athleticism, creativity, ethnic patriotism, and skills as a historian and researcher that brought Greek martial art back to life as a cohesive combat form.

Extractions: Wrestling Page.... under Construction OUTLINE... HERE... Pankration Gallery Pankration (Wrestling) The Greek race is certainly well-known for its athletic and military achievements in the PreChristian era. In truth, we must credit them for both the word "athlete" and the ideal it expresses. It was also the Greek soldier who would represent the standard for the rest of the world to follow for centuries. The contribution of the Greeks to the evolution of the martial arts, as we presently know them, is now certainly evident. Fighting systems that have originated in both Eastern and Western parts of the world may indeed be linked to this ancient combat form. Kicking was an essential part of pankration, especially rising kicks to the groin or stomach, and powerful leg sweeps meant to take an opponent off his feet. Kicks above the belt were used sparingly, with blows aimed to the head or face only when one's adversary was on the ground and too weakened to block or catch the attacker's foot. Due to this unique tactic alone, some combative experts credit pankration as the first comprehensive unarmed fighting system on record. Pankration bouts were extremely brutal and sometimes life-threatening to the competitors. Rules were minimal in number. In addition, there were no weight divisions and no time limits. The fighting arena or "ring" was no more than twelve to fourteen-feet square to encourage close-quarter action. Referees were armed with stout rods or switches to enforce the rules against biting and gouging. The rules, however, were often broken by some participants who, realizing they were outclassed by a heavier and stronger foe, would resort to such measures to escape being seriously maimed. The contest itself continued uninterrupted until one of the combatants either surrendered, suffered unconsciousness, or, of course, was killed.

Things such as kicking, joint dislocation, bone breaking, hair pulling, strangling, and other brutalities were allowed. Biting and eye gouging were condoned by the Spartans , but not allowed in international competitions. The sole object was to force an opponent into defeat, to make him give up. The loser often ended up maimed or even dead. An example of one such brutal struggle was between Arrhacion and an opponent in 564 B.C. After winning the bout by making his opponent give up because of an anklehold, Arrhacion lay on the ground motionless and dead. He was strangled to death by his

Extractions: The Ancient Greek Olympics Part 2: The Games They Played The Olympics of ancient Greece weren't exactly the worldwide spectacle that we have today. For one thing, only Greeks took part. For another, only nine events were featured. Boxing: Those who boxed wore a sort of glove made of straps of soft ox-hide. They didn't fight people of similar weight; opponents were chosen at random. Boxing matches had no time limit and ended only when one boxer held up his hand or fell to the ground. Discus: The throwers of the discus originally threw a circular stone and then later a circular shape made of iron, lead, or bronze. The movements and techniques of ancient discus throwers were very similar to those of today's athletes. Equestrian Events: Horse racing took place in a hippodrome, a large stadium that contained a racetrack very much like today's track and field ovals. The athletes would ride in war chariots that were fitted to either two or four horses. (Even with four horses, only one man rode in the chariot.) The races numbered three, eight, or 12 times around, depending on the age of the horse. Javelin: The javelin of ancient Greece was made of wood and was about as tall as an average man. The javelin throwers of this time also attached a piece of leather called a

Extractions: (Using Shootfighting Rules) You will be hearing a lot more about Pankration as we get closer to 2004! PANKRATION pan-kray'shun Greek "Game of all powers" Pankration is a Greek word meaning "All strength" ( pan = all, kratos = strength; it also has a synonym - pammachon - which means "total fight". There were three combative sports in the ancient Greek Olympics. Wrestling was introduced in 708 b.c. in the 18th Olympiad, the same year the "pentathlon" was introduced. Boxing was admitted in 688 in the 23rd Olympiad. Pankration is the most well-documented fighting art of the pre-Christian era. It was introduced at the 33rd Olympiad in 648 b.c., the same year horse racing was introduced. In boxing until the 5th century b.c. a boxer's only protection was strips of leather about ten to twelve feet long, which were wrapped around the hands . They were called himantes and offered little protection to the hand. NOTE: In modern boxing the length of the taping or wrap is 120": ten feet!

The contribution of the Greeks to the evolution of the martial arts, as we presently know them, is now certainly evident. Fighting systems that have originated in both Eastern and Western parts of the world may indeed be linked to this ancient combat form. In the palaestra , the Greek wrestling school, Pankration was allocated a separate room to train. It was known as the Korykeion, which was equipped with punching and kicking balls, called korykos, which hung from the ceiling beams. The smaller balls were used for punching and the larger ones for kicking, which hung about 2 feet from the floor. Pankration was taught similar to modern day karate, as it was presented in steps or stages until the student had become proficient in the movements and their combinations. After reaching a certain stage, the practitioner would then be allowed to engage in "loose play", as it is called in fencing. Pankration bouts were extremely brutal and sometimes life-threatening to the competitors. Rules were minimal in number. In addition, there were no weight divisions and no time limits. The fighting arena or "ring" was no more than twelve to fourteen-feet square to encourage close-quarter action. As was mentioned earlier, referees were armed with stout rods or switches to enforce the rules against biting and gouging. The rules, however, were often broken by some participants who, realizing they were outclassed by a heavier and stronger foe, would resort to such measures to escape being seriously maimed. The contest itself continued uninterrupted until one of the combatants either surrendered, suffered unconsciousness, or, of course, was killed. Because of the high purses and honors, and the fact that there were no weight classifications, these events were generally monopolized by the "heavy weights".

http://www.crystalinks.com/greekolympics.html

Extractions: Ancient Times The Greeks invented Olympic athletic contests and held them in honor of their gods. But sports and competitions are part of the history and culture of many ancient civilization - including those of Meso- America. In Egypt there had been many findings and glyphs depicting sports events have been found. In ancient Egypt, acrobats, who displayed physical agility and strength, were mainly viewed as performers. Most Egyptian acrobats were women, and they performed alone or in groups. Young Egyptian boys also participated in acrobatics, and played games with hoops. There are 200 wrestling groups depicted on one wall of the tomb at Beni-Hassan. The wrestlers wear a loin-cloth similar to the cod-piece or loin-cloth of Minoan athletes. Although the scenes portray the various positions and "holds" involved in wrestling, the sport was practiced as part of Egyptian military training, and there is no evidence of organized competition. Ancient Egyptians also participated in various running activities. One of the kingdom's most important festivals was the "jubilee celebration," a festival first celebrated on the 30th anniversary of the reign of Amenophis III, and celebrated continuously in three-year intervals. In the "ritual run", an integral part of the celebration, the current king would run between two sets of three semicircles, the semicircles being cosmic references to the order of the universe. Unlike later Greek footraces, however, the Egyptian king ran alone, without a competitor. Physical evidence of the "ritual run" exists at the pyramid complex of King Djoser, where one can find the ruins of the world's first sports facility, complete with the running track for the "ritual run."
