A gladiator exhibition would perhaps be held once a year. The average was somewhere around three years and its not beyond a possibility that some gladiators went their entire five years of servitude without ever fighting, just as some Roman soldiers spent their entire 20 years in the army without ever being in a battle. Contrary to popular belief, gladiatorial combats were not every day occurrences, or weekly occurrences for that matter. Due to the expense involved, gladiatorial bouts were reserved for major public celebrations and memorials.
A gladiator would typically fight multiple times a year, sometimes as often as 30 or more times. However, the exact frequency of fights would depend on factors such as their popularity, the demands of their owner, and the rules and regulations of the particular gladiatorial school or arena they were associated with.
In most cases, gladiators faced injury or death at the hands of their fellow gladiators, against whom they fought. In some cases, however, gladiators fought various wild animals, instead of other gladiators. The animals (such as lions) could also injure or kill gladiators. In general, the life of a gladiator was very uncertain.
For a Roman Gladiator you had to fight to the death and kill many people and even animals sometimes.
Yes, gladiators did learn to fight in gladiator schools. These schools were called ludi and were training centers where prospective gladiators were taught various fighting techniques and combat skills. The gladiators would undergo rigorous training and practice to become skilled fighters before being matched in gladiatorial contests.
Many tribes, cities, pirates, federations, kingdoms and internqally over a thousand years. When did you have in mind?
Not until the death. A glaidator's weapons depended on their origen, as many fighters were abducted from their home towns in the empire to fight. The person who had put on the event had the final say who lived and died, but had to consider the fact that they had to pay back the lamparoes or manager for every gladiator killed belonging to them. In fact, in a 100 fights, only 15 galdiators were killed on average.
The Gladiator wasn't much like the Gladiators that you see on the television nowadays. A Roman Gladiator wore armour and carried a variety of weapons. As many of them were slaves and criminals they fought for one reason only: freedom, as famous gladiators could be freed from slavery. Because of this the Gladiator would fight extremely hard and often fights were to the death. This type of entertainment was very popular with the Romans and many captured soldiers were forced to fight as Gladiators in a bid to gain their freedom. They trained for the fights very hard and there were special Gladiator centre's where they would practice using the different weapons and try to work out ways of avoiding being hurt.

The body of the dead gladiator was dragged out of the arena and then buried. It is unclear if they were cremated or interred at all times. Archaeologist have found many gladiatorial graveyards with interred bodies, but this could be because of the burial fashion of the times, and not something unique for gladiators.The body of the dead gladiator was dragged out of the arena and then buried.

Romans had many entertainment, the most common would be watching gladiator battles.
There is a popular misconception regarding the gladiatorial fights. Initially, they fought to the death with slaves, but this was because they were initially brought to Rome as a funeral duty. Over time and the popularity that the gladiators enjoyed, there was very little "fighting to the death". This was because the gladiatorial schools became organized into a professional business and no businessman wanted to lose his investment. Many gladiators were slaves, or free men who willingly gave up their freedom to fight in a gladiatorial school. Some were even prisoners of war who, if they fought well, would gain their freedom. If a gladiator were the winner, he would get prize money and if he won five bouts, his freedom. If a gladiator were a loser, technically, he could be ordered to be killed, but this was rare. He was then given "missio" or a pass. All these were entered on the gladiator's record and many gladiators had these records engraved on their tombstones.
