Hmm. Since you mentioned swordfighting...what about the Maestri Ramon and Jeanette Acosta Martinez? World renouned experts in classical and historical swordsmanship, they're very personable--and also live in the NYC area (and teach in Chinatown). http://www.martinez-destreza.com/ (also, RM, drcpunk, and I have studied there at various points).
Although one of their instructors, Jared Kirby (http://www.jaredkirby.com/) might also be interesting -- as he's not only studied/teaches historical and classical fencing; he's also an accomplished fight choreographer (and teacher of same) and the editor of several important translations of historical fighting manuals.
