ancient greek olympics So how similar was boxing in the ancient Greek Olympics to it is today?

What about the one-two combination, did the ancient Greeks invent that? As you know, hooks were invented in England in the 18th century, so we can gather that the uppercut was invented from the hook. What about doubling up on jabs? I saw drawings of an ancient boxer in the olympics throwing a straight right and another throwing a jab. Besides by reading stories of fights and by artwork, are there other reasons that we know what some of their moves were? I listed all the basic punches, so what's left...footwork; blocking? Combinations. Clinching, ducking, slipping.....I guess that's mostly everything. What did the stance look like?????? They must have used their elbows and they must have tied each other's arms up. They showed actors playing anceint boxers in the olympics on the History Channel and they were jabbing sort of like they were shoving something. I heard one did the ninja knifehand to the abodomen and pulled out his oppponent's heart. The announcer said that they did lots of wrestling in olympic boxing and that one tactic was to break each other's fingers and one fighter kept on winning matches that way. There were basically no rules, you could probably bite if you wanted, but what was some other dirty stuff they did? And how similar were the Greek's and Roman's wrestling moves to Greco Roman wrestling?

I don't know about the ancient Greeks, but there's a guy who claims to be teaching the lost art of Egyptian fighting skills on the web. He sells videos and has an EZboard. The URL is: http://pub95.ezboard.com/bhikutacombatsystems BTW, his name is Jack Savage. He may also have knowledge of how the ancient Greeks, Trojans and soldiers of Antlantis fought as well. -mwh

The URL is: http://pub95.ezboard.com/bhikutacombatsystems Thanx, I hope I'm not one of those people who assumes that everybody else in the world is exactly like me and so if something is important to me, it is to the whole world, but if I find out anything on it, I'll report back but it'll take me a while because I've been checking it out little by little for the past day and a half because they have these big pop-up ads that cover each page every time I click on something and not only that, they don't load up so quickly and I'm easily defeated. BTW, if anyone likes the phone at heartlandamerica, you might care that it doesn't come with a warranty. |

By 688 B.C., there were boxing contests in which the competitors at first tied leather straps around their fists. Later they would fit _meta_l rings on the straps and then _meta_l knuckles. The match continued until a contestant announced that he was defeated. From Pursuit of Excellence, The Olympic Story. Mel Amateur Boxing News at www.amateurboxing.com |
