Now, GLADIATORS rise and be reborn in the 21st century at the Gladiator Arena in Rome.
Discover the ancient secrets of the Roman gladiator games and master the basics of hand-to-hand combat at a genuine gladiator school!
Your Gladiator instructor will teach you how to train and fight with authentic weapons used by the gladiators of ancient Rome. Lessons are organized and led by members of the Historic Group of Rome who specialize in the re-enactment of Roman life and Gladiatorial combat.
Each lesson will be conducted for approximately 2 hours. Take this opportunity to revel in an introduction to Roman History and life as a Gladiator. After the introduction, begin your transformation into a Roman Gladiator and dress in a traditional Gladiator tunic! Roman Gladiator in a Day hire kit consists of a tunic, belt, iron, leather protective glove and rudis (training sword). Let your imagination run wild and play like Spartacus for a day, fighting off ferocious lions and sword wielding warriors!
Next, learn the basic techniques of gladiatorial sword fighting. Once mastered, a gladiatorial tournament (optional) takes place, with the winner receiving a victory prize. All participants receive a certificate of accomplishment. Are you up to the challenge!
A truly Roman experience combining culture, sport and ancient legends!
