I would like to take Pankration for the clinch work, ground work, and takedowns. I think you will find a healthy amount of these in the style.

I have heard that a Pankration fighter from a long long time ago used to break his opponents fingers in the beginning of the match, and then finish them off, and he was undefeated because of that.

Yes, I have read about him as well. There are several old stories about the early Pankration events. Those guys were tough. There was a story about one Boxer who refused to block or parry any attacks, because he felt it was unmanly. His face must have been a mangled, gnarled mess!
