This book was excellent. It was a great review of the combat arts of my ancestors as well as their evolution in modern times. Mr. Arvanitis is truly a Greek cultural icon.

This review is from: Mu Tau Pankration: Concepts and Skills of "All-Powers" Combat (Concepts & Skills of All-Power) (Paperback)

This book was exceptionally written and was full of ancient artwork and modern techniques. Mr. Arvanitis provides the reader with thorough instructions and easy-to-follow sequences of how to apply the techniques in reality combat. There are numerous submission attacks and ground skills covered. The section on clinching and takedowns was very informative and well-organized. I also purchased his newly-revised and expanded version of this book from Paladin Press. It contains additional text and photos and is an excellent rewrite. This is great reading for those into mixed martial arts and no-holds-barred fighting. Arvanitis is an innovator of this sport and has been around for a long time. He is unarguably the "man" when it comes to the Greek art of pankration. I look forward to his next book!
