Fist Fighters

"My money's on the Suebian - he's just quicker..."

Wrestling and boxing have deep roots that stretch back to antiquity and myth. The ancient Sumerian poem 'The Epic of Gilgamesh' portrays the eponymous hero as a powerful fighter, wrestling the beast Enkidu into submission. Furthermore, boxing dates back to ancient Greece - Homer mentions boxing in his epic 'the Iliad' in the 8th century BC, and fist-fighting - known as 'pankration' - was a common sight at early Olympic Games. More broadly, fist-fighting was a common way of settling disputes and providing entertainment. Oil-wrestling, for instance, was a type of folk wrestling practiced across eastern Europe, and is now Turkey's national sport. Another more severe type of combat was 'bear-baiting', where a man would be pitted against, predictably, a bear. Whilst this became popular in England in later centuries, it thrived at first in ancient Slavic regions. If the warrior could endure for long enough, he would be given a spear to, hopefully, finish the creature off and save himself from further maulings!
