I'd probably allow that. Plus the cultural aspects of Duelling, how to organise one, who needs to serve as seconds, the rituals required to avoid being branded a murderer and so on.
On the other hand, just because one knows how to use a sword in a duel, does not mean that you're comfortable in a melee - you'd get a huge improvisational penalty from having to deal with multiple foes, and worse still, ones that don't obey the correct etiquette of a fight. Just shocking.
