Pachivas Pankration Competition
Friday night
Test your skills in the ring, or enjoy the tournament from the sidelines.

Tired of the milquetoast limitations of point-sparring kumite? Dissatisfied with the politics that seem to rule and corrupt modern-day competitions? Pachivas Pankration is exactly what you need to test your skills!

Competitors will have the opportunity to enter two levels of competition:

Tuite Grappling
No striking, no kicking; victory through submission; black belt and kyu rank divisions

Full-Contact
Striking, kicking allowed; victory through submission; K.O. or T. K. O.; no rank divisions

The Pachivas Pankration Tournament is open to all adult male kyu rank and black belt conference participants. If you're interested in participating, please e-mail Kyoshi Johnny Russell, Chief Instructor of the Pachivas Pankration.
