Inspired by the iconic weapon that helped forge an empire, this trainer is designed to withstand rigorous practice while maintaining the look and feel of a real gladius. Whether you're perfecting strikes, working on control, or engaging in live-action roleplay, this training sword delivers the toughness and reliability Cold Steel is known for.
Crafted from virtually indestructible polypropylene, the 22-inch blade is built to endure the hardest hits without chipping, splintering, or cracking. Unlike wooden trainers, which can weaken over time, this synthetic construction ensures long-lasting performance, making it ideal for repeated use in high-impact training. The black finish adds a sleek, tactical look while also helping to reduce visible wear. With no sharp edges, it allows for full-force sparring and drills without the risks associated with live blades.
The hidden tang design enhances the sword’s structural integrity, providing a solid core that can handle intense training sessions. The black polypropylene handle, guard, and pommel replicate the traditional styling of a Roman gladius while offering a secure and comfortable grip. Whether you’re practicing thrusts, slashes, or defensive techniques, this handle gives you the control and confidence needed to train effectively.
With an overall length of 31 inches and a weight of 24 ounces, the Gladius Trainer strikes the perfect balance between realism and usability. It’s light enough for extended practice without causing fatigue yet heavy enough to simulate the feel of a real weapon. The well-balanced design allows for precise handling, making it an excellent tool for martial artists looking to refine their movements.
Cold Steel is known for producing some of the toughest training weapons on the market, and the Gladius Trainer is no exception.
