Serpukhov athletes won over 40 awards

A real sports festival took place at the Nadezha Sports Palace. The traditional pankration tournament “Warrior’s Honor” attracted a large number of amateurs and professionals.

About 150 athletes from the Moscow and Tula regions arrived at the competition. Each of them tried to show everything he was capable of, and fought for a place on the podium. For some of the guys, these competitions have become a debut. But, despite the excitement, they confidently went to the carpet, because they had a large support team.

In pankration, you do not need to finish off the stalls, so this is not such a traumatic sport as, for example, MMA, and can become a base for those who want to improve in martial arts.

– The tournament is a continuation of the training process, this is the peak. The child goes one on one, there are many spectators, the situation is exciting, he can get lost at the beginning, even forget about everything he learned, in these unrest, not knowing his opponent, he does not know whether he is weak or strong, what technique he has, and now he checks themselves in such extreme conditions. Those who participate in competitions have a strong growth, most of the guys only have a goal in this way. Competitions, victories… if you lost, you drew conclusions, continued to work, improve, – said Oleg Odintsov, the organizer of the competition, coach of the Zubrenok sports school.

As a result of the competition, Serpukhov athletes won more than 40 prizes in different weight categories. The traditional pankration tournament “Warrior’s Honor” was held with the support of the Serpukhov and Moscow Region Pankration Federation, as well as the Zubrenok sports school.
