No, it certainly didn't.

As people all over the world advanced into what is known as the Bronze Age, switching from stone weapons to bronze ones allowed for the development of larger daggers and then into short swords.

Although it is hard to tell when professional swordsmanship training regimes first existed, but as time went on, styles were being developed for sword fighting in varying forms for various tactical purposes all across the world.

There are examples of Martial Arts being taught, such as by the Celts for personal duelling combat, or the Romans designing styles suited to formation fighting, or even unarmed styles like Greek Pankration which can be adapted to mix in with armed techniques.

This also includes styles in the East as well, but such cultures were very separate from each other, and rarely if ever interacted with each other, so even if we could pinpoint exactly who was first to develop swordsmanship itself, it still had little effect on the rest of the world developing styles, as tribal warfare pushed the necessity of swordsmanship anyway without outside influence.
