Martial arts like Karate, Kung Fu, and Muay Thai might dominate popular culture, but did you know that Greece’s own Martial art pre-dates them all? Attributed to Hercules and Theseus in mythology, Pankration was one of the original Olympic sports, and original Mixed Martial Art, combining wrestling and boxing with chokes, locks and kicks into a single system that ended up permeating Ancient Greek society and culture - ultimately inspiring virtually all the forms that followed. Tom and Nick are joined by Pankration advocates, coaches and champions in Kon Pappy and Costas Prasoulas to talk about the origin of the sport, why it isn’t in the modern Olympics, and the work being done to elevate its global status.
