You give yourself no credit for your inherent adaptability. Additionally, you assume that entry into ME would necessitate skill in combat. The majority of the inhabitants of ME lived in relative peace. A very small percentage of the total population went on quests to destroy Rings or overthrow evil angels. As Child postulated earlier...if you can survive rural environs on this planet (which I have little doubt you could) then you could survive a faux-medieval existence in ME.

This is not to deny that prior experience of handling a sword or more likely a hoe, or a plough, would be useful, but such things can be learned. The human being is an peculiarly adaptable tool.
