Gladiator School of Rome, Rome

We visited on 30/03/22 and we had an absolutely fantastic time. Our trainer Giacomo (Titus) was so knowledgeable, funny, entertaining and taught us about Gladiator weaponry and history inside the museum. The collection in the museum was great to see and we hadn't seen armour or a museum like this anywhere else on our trip to Rome. The training and battles were so much fun. My 8 year old son enjoyed using the gladiator shields and loved this experience! Us as adults really enjoyed the experience too. If you come to Rome, adult or with kids, I'd highly recommend this place. We would come again. Thank you so much Titus!! 😁

We are so glad that we took the time to do this experience with our kids while in Rome. Our kids (ages 11, 9, and 7) needed a break from visiting historic monuments, museums and cathedrals. Somehow it seems the physical effort they put into gladiator training was not nearly as tiring as walking the streets of Rome! ;) The gladiator school is set back from the main street in a quiet and shaded spot. It's quiet and relaxing. Our family of 5 were the only students in our session. Mom and Dad participated too. "Titus", our trainer, was excellent. He spoke great English, was amusing, and kept the kids engaged. The visit was also educational, and the information was presented in a way that kept the kids interested. One of our kids didn't like the actual training and matches as much, but that was no fault of the staff at the school. Our other two kids rate it as one of their favorite experiences of our trip to Rome.

Amazing class for the kids.. The museum/history part was great as was the hands on lesson part. We were part of a mixed group of adults and kids and were all entertained.. Price may seem high, but within the first 15 minutes we knew it was well worth it. Instructor Xavier was awesome!

What a great experience our students had! Our gladiatrix was funny, kind, and knowledgeable. The students (and teachers) had an invigorating, educational, and fun experience. I hope we have the opportunity to come back again!

If only I could give more than 5 stars. This is a proper hidden gem in Rome. Irrespective of the age, one will have fun in the 2 hours spent here. Our trainer, Max, was very funny, informative and engaging. We learnt so much about gladiators of the past, learnt some tricks and then had fights! Absolutely amazing.
