Kirios Grandmaster Jim Arvanitis does not teach publicly. His students are carefully chosen and are required to have experience in either boxing, wrestling, or the martial arts. The following programs are offered with all classes conducted at Mr. Arvanitis’ personal training facility located in Tampa Bay, Florida.
Private Classes
Private training is direct one-on-one instruction. You may request specific areas that you would like to work on or follow a specially-designed program based on your individual needs and skills.
Semi-Private Classes
Semi-Private training consists of two to four students that learn in a private setting. This is a more affordable option for students in many cases.

Intensive Training Course
The objective of the intensive training course is to provide as much specialized instruction as possible in Modern Pankration in the shortest amount of time. This involves one-on-one training directly with Kirios Jim Arvanitis, and is designed primarily for those who live beyond commuting distance for weekly training and would like to fly into Tampa, Florida for a weekend. It consists of ten hours (6 hours on Saturday/4 hours on Sunday, broken down into two sessions on both days). Many students take several intensive classes at different times throughout the same year.
The student is expected to make his own flight and hotel reservations. Scheduling of training must also be arranged in advance. A non-refundable 20% deposit is required up front to reserve the time slot. A listing of hotels in the area will be provided upon request. Official certificates for intensive training will be awarded upon completion of the course.
Students will receive rank based on their knowledge and application of technical skills, history, terminology and philosophy of pankration. They should study the following media so as to achieve the highest evaluation:
- The First Mixed Martial Art published by Black Belt Books
- Pankration: The Traditional Greek Combat Sport and Modern Mixed Martial Art by Paladin Press
- Secrets of Pankration video series by Paladin Press
Interested students should email us (pankratiast@aol.com) for pricing and request an application form for intensive training. Please be sure to provide your name and full mailing address including zip code. Once your completed application form is returned to us you will then be contacted to schedule a convenient time. |
