i have always heard awesome fighters coming from pancrase, like ken shamrock, semmy schilt, and a bunch of japanese dudes but when i finally watched this it is great. not alot of hard and greusome knockouts but a slew of good submissions. I HIGHLY recommend this to fans of royce gracieish and shamrock fighting styles. this is a very good video for first timer NHB and vets to watch!!!!

If your a purist like me than this is for you. These are world class fighters demonstrating world class techniques in front of audiences who truly appreciate what they are seeing. No confetti dropping from the ceiling, no ring girls in g-strings and no light shows.

This is fighting as it should be.

wtf dude. Open hands are part of pancrase, they can do plenty of damage if they right person is using them. closed fists would make the competition too fast, pancrase is a great sport, it focuses more on mma techniques than just straight brawling (like 1st ufcs). Now that ufc and pride etc have evolved u understand it came from fighters who dominated early, the ones from pancrase like bas rutten and ken shamrock and his brother frank, these guys are truly great fighters.
