Extractions: The forms of wrestling we know today as Greco-Roman and Freestyle found their origins in the lands on the eastern end of the Mediterranean Sea. These lands are where the Ancient Greeks resided, and developed the art of wrestling. Wrestling to the Greeks was not only part of a soldier 's training regimen, but also a part of everyday life. Youth did not only learn grammar, rhetoric, and mathematics , but young men also went through physical training which consisted of dancing and the art of wrestling. Boys were paired up and learned the art of wrestling in their master's palaestra , or private exercise court built onto the house of a schoolmaster , under the supervision of their instructor. The Greek recognized wrestling as a means of development of grace and symmetry in a vigorous activity that demands a high degree of skill and physical fitness. Greek literature points out that the skill of wrestling was utilized by gods and kings, as well as by soldiers and private citizens, in their efforts to triumph over ignorance, evil, and brute force.

http://pankration.gov.ir/history.html

Extractions: History of Pankration Pankration Athlima is an authentic Greek martial art and an athletic combat sport that was an integral part of the ancient Olympic games from 648 BC onwards for about another thousand years or so. The origins of the sport can be traced to the ancient mythical Greek demi God Herculeus and its current day propagation is attributed to Alexander the Great, who took the sport with him across his conquests over Europe and Asia. The name Pankration is derived from the words PAN + KRATOS, which literally translates to mean "All + Strength" or "the one who has power" or "the one who wins with total strength and knowledge". The Ancient Greek Olympians termed the sport of Pankration as the "Worthiest of All Olympic Contests". As Greece will be the host nation of the Olympic Games in 2004, the International Federation of Pankration Athlima (IFPA) and the World Pankration Organization (WPO), are actively and jointly working towards the goal of reintroducing Pankration to its rightful place in the International Olympic Arena. Pankration Athlima is essentially an ideal Olympic Sport, for it unites all Martial Art practitioners throughout the world. Under a common set of rules and regulations, with particular attention being paid to safety aspects, Pankration Athlima's modern set of rules and regulations, permit competitors to safely utilize their individual fighting technique without compromising or limiting their own traditional Martial Art style.

Webpublish Dec 2001 Combat Sports in Ancient Societies Antiquity of combat sports reflects the culture and its ideologies of ancient society. In today's culture, blood sport is becoming much more intolerant. The definition of sport used in this essay has been quoted by Poliakoff (1987:7), " A person physically competes against another in a contest with established regulations and procedures, with the immediate object of succeeding in that contest under criteria for determining victory that are different from those that mark success in everyday life (warfare, of course, being included as part of everyday life in antiquity)." Boxing is a controversial sport that is considered barbaric, and medical associations attempted to ban it; arguing the high risk of brain damage or potential death. The counter argument is that there are popular sports such as rugby, mountaineering, motor racing and American football that is far more dangerous to health.

Extractions: Your browser does not support javascript The Ancient Olympics Volume 49 Number 4, July/August 1996 Note : The full text of each of these articles is now included in our exclusive online guide to the ancient Olympics Winning at Olympia by Donald G. Kyle New studies challenge traditional notions about Greek Athletes and why they competed. Many of those watching the Olympics in Atlanta this summer will assume that the modern games are a true reflection of the ancient ones, that the events and ceremonies and the ideology of universal brotherhood and amateurism recall the Olympics of Greece's golden age. A generation ago scholars simply accepted such idealistic notions about who these athletes were and why they competed. Now, we are demythologizing the ancient Olympics, testing and revising ancient literary accounts of how athletes trained, worshiped, competed, won, and celebrated, and how they were motivated, rewarded, and honored. By the sixth century athletes were specializing in particular events and hiring coaches. Training was intensive and there were experiments and fads concerning diet, exercise, and sex. Athletes from Kroton in southern Italy believed in the value of a meat diet and saw the consumption of beans as taboo. Milo of Kroton, the greatest Olympic wrestler, reputedly ate 40 pounds of meat and bread at one sitting, washing it down with eight quarts of wine. The basic equipment of an athlete consisted only of an unguent jar (aryballos) of oil and a scraping instrument (strigil) for anointing and cleaning himself, though for various events a competitor might need boxing thongs, jumping weights, discus, or javelin. He had no shoes, no jockstrap, no uniform, and no endorsements.
