Fight Club

gladiator-fightThese high-adrenalin activities are perfect for Type-A personalities looking to let off steam:

Gladiator: if Maximus, the macho lead character in Ridley Scott’s acclaimed movie Gladiator, is your role model, then sign up at Scuola Gladiatori Roma (’Gladiator School of Rome), located near The Colosseum. Train to fight with authentic weapons of ancient Rome and once you’ve mastered the techniques, you can opt for a gladiatorial tournament. Courses range from a day to two months.

Muay Thai: if you enjoy the The Contender reality TV series, head to a Muaythai Fairtex camp (various branches in Thailand, US and Japan). Pro-style training, typically beginning at 6am, includes jogging and gym work, numerous rounds of one-on-one Thai Pad training in the boxing ring, some rounds of heavy bag training and light sparring (for those interested in fight training), and a few rounds of abdominal and muscular conditioning. You can do half-day, full-day or even weeks-long training programmes. For more information you can visit: www.fairtex.com
