As we all know it,every civilization had one martial art system.From what I heard,historians discovered records in ancient Roman forts and barracks showing instructions of performing a full hybrid combat system that explained fighting with weaponry,fighting unarmed,and grappling and wrestling techiques.According to historians,the manual seems to have taken a lot from the Greek martial art Pankration,the fighting system of the Gauls,and martial arts from groups the Romans have conquered.Anyone aware of this?Could anyone who knows about this tell me the name of the martial art of the Roman Legion and leave weblinks to websites that tell more about this martial art?I would appreaciate it.

The Romans were well trained in Greek style wrestling.
Their primary close contact combat though was with "gladius" and shield. The gladius is a very short wide sword used for thrusting stabs unlike the longsword that is used in a swinging motion.Romans stood in close order,shoulder to shoulder with just enough room between shields to thrust forward their gladius. This type of fighting demanded training and discipline which is what the legions were known for.

They didn't have one. The Romans only had some sword, spear, and wrestling skills and that's about it.
