A friend of mine (17 yrs. old) has expressed an interest in learning knifefighting. He is very heavy into European arms and armour, and is quite good at fencing and sparring with a variety of European weapons. The school where he trains is also mostly geared to non-sport fencing, more old-school kind of stuff.

Can any of the Washington DC people recommend any good knifefighting schools? Style isn't really that important. Thanks a lot.
