DFCC PANKRATION
Pankration is a pre-Christian form of Greek Mixed Martial Arts. In 648 BC Pankration was introduced to the Greek Olympic Games.The name of Pankration is composed of the two Greek words "Pan" meaning "Everything" and "Kratos" meaning "Strength". The object in Pankration was to force an opponent to acknowledge defeat, by using strikes, kicks, throws, chokes and joint locks. Historians believe that Pankration may have been one of the first, if not the first, total martial art known to man.
At DFCC we use techniques from arts such as Kodokan Judo, Jiu jitsu, Russian Sambo, Muay Thai, Karate, Western Boxing and Wrestling in a system of fighting that we call DFCC Pankration.
Members of DFCC Pankration have the opportunity to (but are not required to) compete locally and internationally in Mixed Martial Arts events.
DFCC Pankration is a great way to learn how to mix your striking skills with your grappling skills or visa versa. With the conditioning methods we use, DFCC Pankration is also a great way to just get into great shape.
Anyone who is a fan of Ultimate Fighting Championships, Pride Fighting Championships, King of the Cage, Extreme Pancrase, Sportfight, etc. owes it to him/her self to check out the DFCC Pankration program.
DFCC now has an entry level Pankration Class so that members are no longer required to spend one month in our Judo program. However, we strongly recommend being part of our Kodokan Judo program to maintain a solid foundation.
DFCC is an internationally recognized Mixed Martial Arts organization. Our highly qualified instructors are here to offer you the training and support you need to become a better mixed martial artist whether for sport, recreation or self-defense.
We teach specific techniques for use in a competitive arena along with techniques more applicable to real street defense. What we do is nothing glamorous or pretty to look at, but the skills learned in this program are highly effective.
DFCC is the only official Full Contact organization in Douglas County!! Training for Mixed Martial Arts can be a lot of fun but it is not to be taken lightly. Martial Arts should only be learned under the guidance and supervision of quality instructors in an insured facility.
When you become a member of DFCC Pankration, you will be part of our Full Contact Fighting team. You will be represented by the club and you will in turn be a representative of the club and proudly carry with you the respect only given to Mixed Martial Artists.
Our methods of training provide a team atmosphere where the group is focused on making sure every individual is well trained. A system of mentoring is used to help the beginners learn more quickly and efficiently. Instead of trying to be the "toughest guy in the room", we try to make sure everyone is living up to their potential.
