The Ancient Greeks are known as progenitors of Western Civilization in that they birthed most hallmarks of what would become Europe. Be it government, philosophy, architecture, or otherwise, our roots in the West ultimately stem from the soil of Hellas.

Implicit in the legacy of sport is likewise its Grecian origin, as our international Olympic Games pay ample homage to their original namesake. This tradition rightly ascribes the pinnacle of competitive athletics to those people who merged Minoan grandeur with Mycenaean resolve to form the most formidable and enlightened nation in the ancient Mediterranean.

Less recognized is Greece's contribution to athleticism generally, with many standards in sports deriving or at least being influenced by Hellenic physical culture. Similarly, the competitive spirit at Western Civilization's core may in large part be attributed to the Ancient Greek mentality expressed in its fondness for agôn.

Master WarYogin Tom Billinge has once more immersed himself in the subject of his next book, titled WarYoga: Palaístra. The word for a gymnasium in Ancient Greece, this work explores the traditional Greek style of mixed martial arts known as Pankrátion, along with associated disciplines like Pygmakhía (boxing), Pálē (wrestling), and Pèntathlon (general athletics).

In keeping with WarYoga's essence, this book is also an in-depth treatment of Hellenic spiritual concepts aligning with an esoteric approach to fitness, training, and combat. This reflects the author's own approach to athleticism and life.

Based in painstaking research both practical and theoretical, WarYoga: Palaístra will etch another milestone in a campaign to reawaken and revitalize the present by invoking religious and martial traditions from our ancestral past.
