Answer 6

You could try fencing.

There is also a role playing game called Kannar. Where you make weapons out of Metal pipes and wrap them in styrofoam and duct tape. You can usually learn how to handle a sword that way, and then when it comes to actually train with one you will be better off because an actual sword is lighter than the Kanar weapon.

Also I'm pretty sure that the Marines still use swords. So if you want to join the military....

Answer 7

Definitely a fencing club, or any midevalist historical recreation people.

Also, cough, ahem;

"The sword is a bird in flight; the wind carries the bird, and the bird lets itself glide, but the bird does not force the wind to carry it.  The body guides the blade, it does not wield it, and the blade is a bird in flight, a weapon that cuts, it does not strike."
