question about training Akebia vine

I have an Akebia growing for a few years, up an pergola. It has numerous stems growing up from the soil and they have gotten very intertwined. I also get a lot of new growth starting at the base which usually grows along he ground.

How are you pruning this vine?

Would it be better to have a single main stem up to the top of the pergola and then let it branch over the top? It might be easier to control the extra growth from the root zone?
