Well, in the real world nobody took you seriously if you claimed to be a swordmaster (a teacher that is) and were under thirty.
It takes a minimum of 10 years intensive study to really learn swordplay, and the people who seriously train western swordsmanship these days* usually expect to be "deadlier" with their blade(s) at the age of sixty than when thirty.
Though parhaps you meant sword = devotee of Humakt. I still automatically read Sword (with a capital letter) and take it to mean a swordmaster.
