Martial education methods were taught in organized classes to Greek school children from the late 1860s throughout the 1940s, reflecting ancient Hellenic customs and knowledge passed on through the Byzantine and Ottoman eras to modern Greece; Pammachon continues this tradition.

Pammachon utilizes a distinct neurological model referencing four separate neural nexuses to describe how stress and violence escalate “digitally” within our being. While this model was developed to better understand the physiological processes inherent to the escalation of force and as a means to train soldiers for combat, like Hippocrates' four humors, it may also be used to identify distinct personality types, to accurately gauge intentions and reactions during a business meeting, and to accommodate the effects of stress in our daily lives.

We now have academic proof that Pammachon and Pankration were two separate things. In this letter to his sister Sophrone (Papyrus letter SB 3.6222 translated and completed by Ms.Sofie Remijsen of Leuven University in her article “Pammachon, A New Sport” (The Bulletin of the American Society of Papyrologists 47 (2010) 185-204)), a man called Dios writes how he competed in athletic games in Alexandria. The letter has been dated to the late third or fourth century through literary means, and we can date it very precisely based on the events it illustrates. The papyrus describes the Emperor attending festivities in the center of the city. We know that Diocletian visited Egypt in the winter of 301 through the spring of 302. He was most certainly in Alexandria on the 31st of March.

Excerpts from the letter read:

"So, when we arrived here ...we found our lord the Emperor visiting. He ordered that athletes be brought to the Campus and fortunately, I and five (others) were selected ... I was at first paired up to do pankration and I had bad luck, as I do not know how to do pankration. So I was performing [poorly] for a long time… then I challenged the five to do pammachon and won. The emperor wanted to know whether I was [immediately] summoned to (fight) one man after the other."

Pammachon Training has adopted a modular format following the three levels outlined earlier.

Mental training begins in the 3^rd Level and may continue to a 4^th Level if the student is interested in same. Components of the Mental Training Curriculum may be taught to beginners as well; the curriculum includes:

• Dealing with post-traumatic stress disorder.
• Better understanding combat stress and psychology.
• Dealing with panic attacks.
• Dealing with stress.
• Control of autonomic functions.

The Quadrune Brain model is used for all mental training within Pammachon.
