Pancrase is the name of an organisation that organizes mixed martial arts tournaments, principally in Japan.
It was founded by Masakatsu Funaki and Minoru Suzuki in 1993.
A pancrase fight is fought in a ring measuring 7x7m; the ring is surrounded by ropes. There are two different time limits for pancrase fights.
Title matches last three rounds of five minutes each. Other matches last two or three rounds of five minutes each. Each fighter starts in a standing position. There are only few techniques that are not allowed in a pancrase fight.
