"A gladiator kit is included with traditional tunic, Roman sandals, belt, protective gloves, and wooden training sword, and on completion students are presented with a medal declaring them a tiro or first level gladiator".

Sounds like it is. You have to contact the concierge of the Hilton for this. I suppose that he is the man in the 'traditional tunic', sitting back watching the two guest fighting, ahem, training?

yeah, have seen advertisements of them (on the internet) during the last several years. Seems like yet another tourism thing to me, just like those fabulous 'Romans' outside the coloseum.
