It looks like the ancient Greeks knew their karate... Or whatever name they gave it.. <br>
I sort of suspected for a long time that the ancients developed martial arts that must have looked like modern martial arts.. There you go..<br>

The caption reads: "And this is how the Greeks used to do it; Demoxenes delivering an openhanded thrust to Creugas,<br>
penetrating his side and killing him instantly (not shown)."<br>
Typical karateka stance.<br>
