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.
