Your gladiator lesson takes place at the Gladiator School of Rome, located near the Colosseum on the historic Appian Way. Specializing in the reenactment of ancient Roman life and gladiator fighting, your instructors are members of the Historic Group of Rome and will begin your class by providing you with your costume — a traditional belt, tunic, leather gloves, and a training sword known as a rudis. Learn the basic skills of gladiator sword fighting before summoning your imagination and channeling your inner ancient Roman as you fight off ferocious lions and battle other sword-wielding gladiators. If you wish, you can participate in an optional gladiator tournament, complete with a prize for the victor. Either way, all participants receive a certificate of accomplishment at the end of your lesson. Friends and family are allowed to watch your class from the viewing platform. Admission to the Gladiator School of Rome Museum is also included so you can check out gladiator weapons and other artifacts.

Very informative and fun! Mostly museum with trying on stuff. Actual fighting could be more detailed, but my 10 year old loved it.

This was a must do for our youngest boy and he will remember it always. A nice change from ruins and museums.

They have not stop talking about it. The touch museum was awesome, it was nice to be able to try on the helmets and actually touch the swords and shields.

Family of four with two boys 12 and 16, started with history background delivered in a fun and funny way, moved to physical gladiators practice for all levels and then some fights in the areana which was the highlight. Staff was professional. Take into account...

Staff was professional. Take into account in and out taxi drive from the city 10-15 EU each direction and bring food as there is no caffetiria.This was such an amazing experience for the whole family! Kids had a blast - loved every moment of it! We heard so many interesting facts about gladiators, learned how to fight, and most importantly, loved the instructor - such a great humor! Must-do, especially if you are in Rome with kids.
