Maybe Otto wants to take up the sword, so he joins that Gladiators Guild. (Or Lancers Guild, for a lance)
Maybe he asks someone trained in swordsmanship to help him out in their free time.
Or possibly , maybe he tries the self-teaching method and leans to swing, but maybe has bad form or gets better with practice.

It could be done with an occasional bulletin post or maybe some RP in game with write ups on his progress. Allowing s natural growth that doesn't look like it was hand-waved. Otto knows plenty of people who wield swords as well.
