If you look at Moreau's bio, you'll see that he actually fought as a mercenary at all points during his travels. Further, you're severely overestimating the level of training and skill needed to use the Katar effectively. It's not a Pata, which does require a good deal of specialized training. Katars can easily be used and integrated into a vast majority of unarmed combat styles, at least one of which he likely learned, either from his rich-boy tutors, as you put it, or when in combat as a mercenary.
