pankration
White Belt
Greetings everyone. You won't believe how I found this site! My son googled my name (the real one) and found a thread on this forum debating the strengths of MMA and the ancient Greek martial art of pankration. In one of the posts, my new book was mentioned. So I started looking around and found that their was a lively discussion going on amongst true lovers of the martial arts. I started to look around at other threads and I can say I liked what I saw.
About me: teacher, writer, parent and martial artist. I started at 16 and have been practicing various arts for over, oh my god, 30 years!! I did all the things most of the older members here probably have. I took lessons, tried different arts, competed, taught, coached and had my own school for awhile. Now age and injury have caught up so I'm not as adamant about training as I once was (and my waistline shows it).
I love the UFC and other MMAs, boxing and movies that feature the arts. I hope to contribute some interesting posts but I'll probably stick to the historical stuff so if anyone has any questions, ask me. I may know the answer but I always look stuff up.
On the sites below is my blog. Take a look at my UFC "reports" as well as free chapters from my book and any other martial art that catches my interest.
