In a new game, it seems pretty simple to mix in.
A) Focused warriors who study (practice and read) the blade just re-discover these secrets generation to generation. They train others.
B) Each school might have a monistary/training grounds. People may study different schools, but be the master of mainly one. Each "center" would be different in some way (some associated with a race, some with a nation/culture, some very informal (old guy who trains mostly the town gaurd after work is out in the town square) some formal.
In an existant game, I'd go with some kind of a rediscovery of ancient tomes, some perhaps recovered by the PCs, other dug out of old libraries when the importance of the PC-found tomes becomes apparent, others schools perhaps have "always been here" in some issolated community or secret society.

I'm not comparing power levels between MA and fighter, merely that if your PC saw an MA fight without knowing that MAs existed I suspect they would believe the MA was a more skilled (aka higher level) Fighter simply b/c they would seem to have very complex maneuvers (aka advanced feats).

Actually, they'll just kill him, and while they're taking his stuff, remark on how powerful his weapons must be to do all that stuff, and argue over who gets what masterwork, nonmagical weapon...kigmatzomat said:

You could envision it something like fencing schools, which are European to the point of stereotype. 
Secrets of the great masters, schools that could only teach their nation's style, competition with rival schools, etc. all fit that idiom as much as they fit the idiom of kung fu.
