Wow... I guess there isn't many people who are interested in martial arts that don't involve Asians, Qi, and mysterious scrolls.
I'd say that while European martial arts might not have involved Qi, it most certainly involved Asians and mysterious scrolls. After all, they were used to slaughter asians on occasion and most of what we truly know about the arts of old come from "mysterious" scrolls, which have proven the rumors of European inferiority in the martial arts far from the truth.
I tend to blame our lack of a "dojo-tradition" on the fact that we were near constantly at war, with each other or with someone else, but that's me.
