Fight. Pankration was a blend of Wrestling and boxing. Kicks were allowed. It must have looked like mixed Martial Arts of today except that it was conducted in the nude. Anything was allowed except eye gouging and biting. The referee carried a stick and would hit pankratiasts who broke these rules. (The Spartans refused to enter because they thought these two rules were two too many.) Wrestling and boxing were separate sports. In 1896, when the Olympic Games began again, it was decided that pankration was the only original Olympic event that would not be revived.
