About me

Gender Male
Location Hochheim am Main, Germany
Introduction Chris Eckert studied Aikido for 30 years and holds a black belt. He also holds a blue belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Being also strongly interested in Celtic and Roman era reenactment, history and archaeology, he naturally expanded his focus towards ancient fighting methods, specializing in the reconstruction of Roman gladiatorial combat. This lead to him being in charge for the physical training of 20 University students participating in the 'Gladiator Experiment' conducted by the University of Regensburg in 2010. When not researching and promoting the fighting methods of the Gladiators, Christian runs his his own Martial Arts Academy in Hochheim am Main where he teaches historical fencing, grappling and boxing and works as a fitness and nutrition coach.
