Do you think you would have been a successful Gladiator?

Question

hahahmm · Accepted Answer

No because i wouldn't let them use me as a tool to kill innocent prisoners. I would go out with maximum bravery, showing zero fear and tell the crowd this is what bravery looks like & cowards are killing me because they were forced to.

If a government ever looked like the type to be making gladiators, I would do everything to avoid being put into that situation in the first place. And I wouldn't feel bad about whatever I had to do to avoid it either.

The gladiators never really died, they mostly stayed alive so knowing that fact… Perhaps?

Most would allegedly just tap out like, raising a finger up if they got too overwhelmed or hurt.

Now if you put me in a gladiator match to the death, maybe not….

No. I would have been fed to the lions because I'm a Christian...

purplepoppy · Accepted Answer

No but I think I could make a killing selling them slaves.

Nifrayu · Answer

No. I would either escape, more likely die in the attempt, or I would die in training before I have that chance. I know how to fight, but I'm weak. I might be able to win a few matches if I am lucky, but I don't have the toughness to endure the physical conditioning they were put through. Mostly likely I would collapse and die from exhaustion. As I understand it, that happened a lot back then.

Joshydavid25 · Answer

Don't know really.. I mean I'm fairly athletic and muscular, but that doesn't necessarily translate to skills in sports combat..

HawkPerception · Answer

I don't think I have the body frame of a successful gladiator. I always think that I was suited more to be an assassin or archer if I was living in those times. I'm extremely physically coordinated.

AviatorTom · Answer

Probably not. I can fun fast to stay away from the lions but a gladiator would probably knock me down and get the thumbs down from the emperor.

Yannae · Answer

I can kick, I can evade and I can jump high. I'd need to have light armor, light weapons. Dual swords and/or daggers. I wouldn't be brute forcing my way to victory, but dance towards it rather.

pascal_climbs · Answer

Not really. I am strong, but I don't have fighting skills.

ChicoFromThe305 · Answer

Yea, you know what they say if you don't have a weapon you can always gouge their eyes out, without sight they are basically vulnerable.

Dongie · Answer

I think I would have been like that dude in Gladiator. Except I wouldn't have let that punk Ceasar kill me.

LiamJHayden · Answer

Probably not. I am athletic and trained in Uechi-ryu karate and BJJ, but I abhor unnecessary violence.
