I am not aware of particular sword fighting schools etc.

Many state run sports centres have fencing as a discipline and you can learn fencing there.Epee ,Foil and Sabre are the three types of swords used.

If you are inclined more towards a martial type of discipline, you may try to find some one who teaches traditional martial arts like Kalari payyattu(Spelling?) or even a local Gurudwara.Some versions of Karate/Kung-Fu schools teach it too.

Sorry that's all I can think of.

Best-

Thanks Vikram,
But the reply can not solve the expectation,
If some one knows more like which martial art school or in which gurudwara teaches this kind of art, plz share with me and others.
I have seen saleing of different sizes of swards :shock: around Gurudwaras, In Nepal also but I didnt find the classes :?: of sward handling or fighting etc.

If you are serious, you can go long way, and may consider to learn about Filipino long machete style too. Same can be used with kukri. Particularly style of Escrima by master Rene Latosa. Very practical, effective and surprising style.

there is plenty of schools, problem can be that not all of instructors can speak English.
