Description:

Jim Arvanitis is a Greek-American martial artist and professional trainer of Mixed Martial Arts/Hybrid Reality Combat based on the pankration model, and author of several books and videos relating to pankration. He is world recognized as the Founder of Neo-Pankration, a blend of the remnants of the ancient fighting legacy along with elements found in modern sources such as Western boxing, savate, Greco-Roman wrestling, Muay-thai, and combat judo.His reconstruction of the defunct sport stands as one of the first hybrid fighting systems of its kind. It was first unveiled to mainstream martial arts in 1973 when he was featured on the cover of Black Belt magazine. Arvanitis has appeared on multiple covers and in hundreds of articles over the past forty years. He was among the scant few who was cross-training in various striking and grappling systems during a time when purely standup styles such as classical karate and kung-fu dominated the scene and were thought to be invincible. His way of thinking was not accepted at the time and many felt he was nothing more than a passing oddity. This criticism only tended to fuel his efforts. Arvanitis was considered to be ahead of his time with his innovations preceding MMA by more than two decades. Today he is the recipient of countless recognition awards for his efforts and contributions.
