What fun... I really like that the western forms of martial arts are getting more attention. It’s about time.

Really want them to get the full experience?

Make them slaves, beat them, train them a little, tell them they have to fight to the death and fight hard for a good show, or they will be killed. Also that if the crowd doesn’t like who won they could be killed.

Not all matches had to be fought to the death, but in Rome, many more were, where the crowds demanded more death and the better fighters came to fight.
