Become an Ancient Greek Hoplite and Protect the Greek cities from the Persian Invasion!

Are you a history lover and want to experience something new and exciting?
We are asking you to join us in a first Historical outdoor fighting representation experience (sport animation) about the Greco-Persian wars. Together, we'll explore the hidden art of the ancient Greek phalanx (Lesson of ancient Greek fighting style- The Othismos) during the Persian wars (500-448bce), the strategy, the equipment and the movement of every “Greek Hoplite” (pair) that made him a unique soldier through the ages.

The Spartan king Leonidas and his brave 300 soldiers, the clever and cunning Athenian politician and general Miltiades used this fighting style and managed to defend the Greek cities from the Great Persian invasion.
