Results from the first day!

The Senior European Championship – Grappling – Pankration – Combat Grappling has started in the sports hall OsiR in Gorlice. Polish team consists of 21 grapplers who fight in two disciplines.

Grappling is a non-striking hybrid sport, which consists in applying submission holds and choking techniques in order to make the opponent abandon the fight. The only forbidden twists techniques are related to the backbone and stifle. Grappling has been promoted by FILA as it’s possible it would be one of the Olympic disciplines in a near future.


The other discipline Pankration has been living its second rebirth, which has already been once the Olympic discipline. Today, pankration is developed by FILA as a mild form of Mixed Martial Arts (MMA). MMA is one of the most watched sports on TV in the whole world. Even though allowing all grappling techniques, such as throws, locks, and chokes, pankration is more focused on the striking arts by awarding points for punches and kicks, both in standing position and on the ground

120 representatives from 23 European different countries have come to Gorlice on Thursday. The Championship will be official open today. During three intensive days the grapplers will be performing its skills in order to be awarded by the title of the European Champion!
