The '''''Lord Gladiators Association''''' is separate organization from the '''''Warrior Core''''' with many different rules and practices. Less then 5% of the Warrior Core matriculate into the Lord Gladiators Association.  It constitutes "Professional" fighters.  Most Gladiators have entourages of attendants as well as managers.  

*'''Gladiator''': <span style=color:Green>'''''Gladiator'''''</span> is the first Lord Gladiator rank and its importance bears comment.  It is the beginning of a new combat class constituting the first of the ''Professional'' sportsman warriors. For a vast majority of ''Warrior' ranked this is the goal; to <span style=color:Red>"Gain the Green"</span>, to gain the '''''"Gladiator"''''' license.  

Gladiators fight with blunted steel weapons mostly though some continue to use wooden weapons.

Many excellent fighters never reach ''Gladiator''.  The damage to the body builds up and so a high percentage of ''Rank Warriors'' retire after gaining Gladiator.  It is considered a highly respected rank.  Its is a common story among Gladiators that the '''three fights for gladiator''' were the hardest of their lives.  75% of Gladiators never gain another rank.
