For those of you who never heard of it, Pankration is an ancient martial art. It was the official martial art styles used by the ancient Greek armies.Here is a documentary showing basic info on the martial art from an episode of Human Weapon, a TV show that aired on the History Channel a decade ago showing basic info on the martial art:

Now considering the Roman Legion burrowed much of their tactics from the Greeks, Iam curious did the Roman Legion ever standardized Pankration as their official martial art?Most sources I found in martial arts based websites state that the Romans generally looked down on Pankration but Iam really skeptical and find this claim very hard to believe considering much of Roman culture was influence heavily or even burrowed from Greek culture.
This is something I have been curious about for years. If Pankration was not the standard martial art of the Roman Legion, than what was?
