You will be led to the one and only Gladiator School in Rome, the first school ever to teach the discipline of gladiator fighting to kids! Under the guidance of expert instructors, your kids will step into the sandals of a Roman gladiator, donning traditional attire and handling real training weapons (blunt wooden swords).
Your experience will begin with an introduction to the history and culture of gladiatorial combat, exploring the significance of the games, the honor of the fighters, and the complex relationship between gladiators and Roman society. Then, you'll move on to the physical aspect of the training. The skilled trainers, themselves steeped in the ancient martial techniques, will teach you how to wield weapons. Minors must be accompanied by an adult.
