And so on..
I'd go with kenjutsu personally - kendo will teach you to use a katana about as well as European fencing will teach you to use a smallsword or sabre.
And there are at least two or three martial arts associations out there teaching Western fighting styles - AEMMA and AERMA spring to mind, and I think there's a Norse one as well. And don't some of the Amerindian tribes do a traditional warrior skills school for their kids?
