Okay, we can now add Corbvlo to this list. We don't do gladiatoral dispays as our main thing, which still is religion and soldiers, but we've a nice set of gear and are training for some simple showfights.

The history of gladiatorial combat in Australia begins in the 1930s in Sydney. ( i read about it in a newspaper clipping) Gladiators were the basis of the Ancient and Medieval Arts Society's founding in Sydney in 1972. Sadly they are no more but gave rise to the Sydney Ancients
Currently, in Australia, there is only one practicing "college" and that is in Brisbane. They are called "Pax Romana".
In Armidale (halfway between Sydney and Brisbane) we train as gladiators most weeks but only do shows with Pax once a year. There is a devoted gladiator known as "bronzeage Matt" who is constantly updating his kit and promoting gladiatorial sessions in the town of Lismore, Northern NSW. He intends to make his way to Europe and train with every school he can find, :twisted:
I also know of others who own kit but do not have the opportunity to use it as much as they would like.
I also believe there is a gladiatorial school in New Zealand.
Dont give up on trying to update this register. It is a great idea.

Hi All,
Looks like Richard covered the Australian history; I don’t know half of that as in my travels I haven’t seen any gladiators in Australia!
To add to Richards post……
I’m in the process of starting a new school and if possible would like to talk to all Australian groups and people with and interest in this.
If your on this Forum and would like to chat about gladiators in Australian please PM me.
Thanks to the current posters on this forum, you have provided much information.

While questing for images of helmets via google and yahoo i have finally stumbled upon thee flickt site where there are some great images from kind hearted folk. However i also spotted a gladiator combat in perth, western australia.
Little steps- but interest continues to grow.

There are some great pictures on all of your links guys and i see we are well spread around the world - even Australia (I know the Romans went to Southern India but I think maybe a Trireme missed Sri Lanka and ended up in Perth so maybe that would explain that one :lol: )
Keep up the good work one and all and lets see if any more get posted, maybe from the U.S.A.?

The first place I would go to learn gladiatorial fighting is with Brice Lopez in the south of France. His website is www.archeo-acta.com (I think - computing not being my strong point). I have attended several of his demonstations and one of his lessons (on unarmed fighting) at the Hemac Dijon event in Burgundy and it is mightily impressive stuff. His emphasis is very much on the recreation of the martial art rather than re-enactment.
