This structure represents the Roman Colosseum with spectator stands (soft floors).
Outside the Colosseum, competition areas marked with Roman towns are set up.
At least four students are assigned to a competition area (town) according to size
and weight. There is a welcoming ceremony before each fight. Two students
always fight each other, with a third acting as referee. The teacher explains the
rules and is also responsible for the duration of the fights (approx. 30-60 seconds).
On a competition area, each student fights against everyone else and counts the
points scored. At the end, the student with the most points is allowed into the
Colosseum, where they compete against the other winners.
Colosseum fighting arena. Try to push your opponent's shoulders to the
ground and hold them there in a supine position, within the agreed competition
rules. Make sure that you do not stand up and that you have contact with your
opponent from the start (e.g., by grabbing their forearms). You receive three points
for a win and one point for a draw.
