THE AMC Pankration Legacy

A complete martial art. A lifelong practice. A lineage built on proven systems, data, & outstanding leadership.

STANDING → GROUND

Pankration was built around the complete fight.

From striking and movement to takedowns, grappling, control, and submissions, the art connects every phase rather than treating them as separate worlds.

The ancient Pankration tradition recognized both the standing and ground phases of combat; Kato Pankration refers specifically to the fight on the ground.

At AMC, the goal is not to become great at one thing. It is to become a complete martial artist.

Matt “The Wizard” Hume built AMC around the pursuit of complete martial arts—not simply learning individual techniques, but understanding how they connect.

That philosophy produced generations of fighters who could move between ranges, adapt under pressure, and continue learning.

The objective isn't specialization.
It's mastery through integration*

A martial art survives through its people.

From Matt Hume → Demetrious Johnson → James Yang → today's athletes and instructors, AMC's knowledge is carried through training, competition, coaching, and PNW community 🏔️.
