Detailed course itinerary

Russell Crowe had his vengeance and now you can too by learning how to fight like a Roman gladiator.

Learn the history and the culture and get suited up to thrust your sword about in throes of glory and gore just like Spartacus.

On this short course that takes place in the arena of the Gruppo Storico, just outside Rome, you will rise up as gladiators did before you over 2000 years ago and learn how to fight with the same weapons handled by the gladiators of ancient Rome.

Each 2 hour gladiator course includes an introduction to Roman history and life as a Gladiator. You then get kitted with a tunic, belt, iron, protective glove and training sword to learn the techniques of Gladiator combat.

Once mastered, an optional gladiatorial tournament takes place, with the winner receiving a victory prize.

Take gladiator lessons in Rome, Italy and return home from your holiday with a new skill.
