What is the gladiator challenge?

 

We created this 8 week fight camp challenge to:

1) Simulate what its like to get the full 'fight' experience

2) Fast track people progress and confidence in martial arts

3) See how people perform under pressure, the precursor to actually entering the cage or ring

 

But its become so much more, this challenge is hard, but its genuinly life changing with participants saying "that was one of the best things ive ever done in my life" see if you've got what it takes to become a modern day gladiator.

What motivated me to join was people were saying you will improve your skills more in those 8 weeks than if you were to train normally for 6 months, that really made me wanna do it.

William Van Dal

It was hard, there wasn't an easy day with juggling school and the gym almost two times a day for 5 days, I had recovered in ways I'd never really tried before, but through the entire experience, I saw changes in my body, my overall fitness and my mental health, on top of my overall wellbeing I've made friends through the gyms amazing culture making me feel welcome every time I rocked up to training. So through the challenges and hardships, I've gained more than I had ever expected.

Samantha Campbell

I had been doing martial arts on and off for years and absolutely loved it but have always struggled to commit to it regularly because life is busy, the gladiator challenge allowed me to commit to challenging myself to become a better person and boost my confidence. The challenge gave me that and more.

Liza Case

I wanted to take my training to the next level and experience the preparation required to be
able to fight. To see if I had what it takes to train hard, eat well and prepare myself mentally.
Weight loss was a bonus. It was also to be a role model for my daughter, to show her you are
never too old to challenge yourself, and to show her you can achieve anything if you put the hard
work in.

Hear it straight from past Gladiators who took the leap and never looked back.

“The experience overall was amazing! You get pushed to the limit but once you reach the end you feel on top of the world. The biggest changes i noticed was my weight, cardio and skill. I started the of the Gladiator challenge i weighed around 74-75kg and on final weigh in day i weighed in at 68.5kg. That is the skinniest i have ever been! My cardio and skill went up to the next level thanks to Joey. He was always pushing me in our private and group sessions. I couldn't have made to the end without his coaching.” -Alvaro Gonzalez

Amir Hame

My advice is a 100% to join, the whole experience is so worth it because it’s not just all hard work it’s also super fun. I remember in the end fights I saw everyone either laughing smiling and cheering each other. It’s the best experience of the gladiator

Samantha Campbell

Anyone that is on the fence about signing up for the gladiator challenge, I would say take the chance and push yourself because the results and the feeling of completing something like this is bloody amazing and I would do it again and again.

4 week starter (26)

Liza Case

Throughout the challenge I could see my confidence increasing, my technique improving, I felt healthier, and mentally my mood improved. I hit my goals each week which is like a big dopamine boost!

Alvaro Gonzalez

I cannot sugar coat it , it is hard. you will be tested. You need to be organised and committed. It is nerve racking to join but if you commit you will go through some massive changes and you learn a lot about yourself. My advice is just do it, you wont regret it.

Aengus White

The challenge isn’t just about becoming better at combat sports or becoming healthier, it’s about growing as a person and learning valuable lessons about yourself, if I could do it again I would and I highly recommend anyone who wants to test their limits and grow as a person to make the leap and put your trust in the coaches and most importantly in yourself.
