Tired of the same sun/surf/sand destination? For the active traveler, options abound for ancient sports such as falconry and mace swinging.

For $600, an instructor at the Waldorf Astoria Rome Cavalieri hotel will teach you basic “gladiator” skills, complete with tunics and wooden swords.  Pato, an ancient sport from Argentina combines polo, basketball and a live duck–go figure.

More details on where to find the sports can be found at WSJ.com
