The SLAUGHTERSPORT Training School is maybe the official UST training school but the Lupus SLAUGHTERSPORT officials have a lot of power and influence in the UST itself. 




The SLAUGHTERSPORT Training School (America) is modeled on 2-time undisputed and undefeated UST champion “The World’s Greatest Fighter” Santos Dixon. 
While in the Lupus SLAUGHTERSPORT (Rome) it is Norman di Sparta, who was killed by WGF on the Battlefield.
“WGF could have been even better if he trained exclusively in SLAUGHTERSPORT since day one. The different sets of rules and limitations of the many martial arts he learned tainted his fighting style.”

• Bullrushing the opponent at the very start of the war. 
• Eyes, throat, and groin attacks.
• Only using non-fancy finishing submission holds.

However no steroids, drugs, and supplements.


A typical day at Ludus SLAUGHTERSPORT:
(Training everyday for 8-10 hours a day and eating 3 meals a day)

• Starts at dawn with the first meal of the day
• Warm up with a long distance run of at least one hour, followed by a swim if possible
• Strength training, balance training, stretches, and sprints usually follow the run. Hundreds of pushups, sittups, squats, and so on.
• Training involves the learning of a series of figures, which were broken down into various phases. Several hours of fighting drills, Kata of every type usually follow. The start off simple and get increasingly intense.
• After exercise is done the students will duel on the training grounds against other students if possible. The students wear protective equipments and fight with full force. It is considered very bad form to get angry over a training bout.
• After practice students usually treat themselves to a long bath and a massage.
• Free time after the day is done
• A full night of rest

• If a Combatant has a war he will spend less time in exercise, usually a run and short workout just before the war. The rest of his time will be spent in mental preparation for the war. 

The Initiation and the Test of a recruit (novicius):

• When a new recruit (novicius) enters the Lupus he is assessed by the Lanista, Medici, and Doctore to ensure he is fit. 
• He is checked by the Medici for any medical problems and whether he was physically suitable to train as a Combatant and equipped to withstand the rigours of training and combat.
• The initial training commences with getting the recruit to the peak of fitness.
• The recruits train as intensely as the Combatants who have trained for years. In order to show enough skills to pass The Test.
• The initial training usually spans several days with little sleep
• The recruits live together in barracks separated from the Combatants
• However the recruits eat the same high protein diet as the Combatants
• Recruits are not allowed to speak at mealtimes
• Recruits are usually treated like shit by the Doctore and the students. They are merely considered human beings and are usually shunned, ridiculed, taunted and humiliated by Combatants trying to make them give up. The Combatants even bullied and toyed with the recruits in practice just to show them how hard it is to be a Combatant. A strong recruit will not give up.
• No privileges at all for a recruit
• However this type of treatment eased with time served

• After weeks of training, all the recruits will be tested in front of the Lanista, Medici, Doctore, and guests. 
• The test is to fight a Combatant of the Brotherhood based on skill level. A strong recruit will face a strong Combatant, while a weak recruit will face a weak Combatant.
• The war is no-rules SLAUGHTERSPORT style inside the Battlefield in the evening.
• The recruit will fight barefoot, barefist, wearing nothing else than a short trunk. Cups and mouthpieces are the only pieces of equipment permitted.
• If the recruit turns out to be a bad fighter, he will be expelled. If a recruit proves he has talent, even if he does not win the fight, he will receives the mark of Lupus SLAUGHTERSPORT (UST). Then he will be accepted as a Combatant and a member of the Brotherhood.
• He will have to recite The Oath of Allegiance – swearing allegiance to Lupus SLAUGHTERSPORT and to be the Brother of the other Combatants of the Lupus – before being branded the letters UST with a glowing hot branding iron on the inside of his right forearm. The scarred ‘UST’ marked in the skin is a sign of appartenance to the Lupus and the Brotherhood of Combatants. The brandind is made by the Lanista. 
• Combatants see each other as brothers-in-arms. Until a recruit receives the mark, he is seen and treated like shit by the Gladiators. That’s all part of the test, the initiation.
