Back in ancient Rome, sport used to be life or death. It was played only by those who dared to put their life on the line. These athletes played the game of Gladiators, and performed in the arena for all to watch.

Gladiators took the ultimate risk, and with this responsibility they did not simply step into the arena. They trained at a place known as Ludus – a training facility designed exclusively for Gladiators. A place to call their own.

Ludus functioned as a place for all gladiators to learn, train, grow and prepare for their fights. They were not only taught the technical skills of fighting, but also to strategize, understand their bodies, improve their performance, and gain the upper hand over their opponent.
