Not only were wooden swords used by Gladiators for training, but if he survived the arena and lived long enough to retire, a symbolic wooded Gladius called a Rudis was awarded as a token of discahrge and freedom. Fully seasoned and hand crafted in solid hardwood to be strong enough to meet the needs of today's swordsman (or woman). Each can take the abuse of sparring and reenacting, even edge-to-edge. Keep in mind however that wood can break along the grain.
