Pankration (Greek : παγκράτιον) was a sporting event introduced into the Greek Olympic Games in 648 BC and founded as history dictates up to 2000 BC. A Hellenic martial art. The term comes from the Greek παγκράτιον [paŋkrátion], literally meaning "all of might" from πᾶν (pan-) "all" and κράτος (kratos) "strength, might, power".
The Australian Federation Of Pankration is the official governing body under The World federation of Pankration as the formal and world recognized authority on Pankration Martial Arts on a sporting, historical and progress of the art world wide.
