[Star Wars] How/where did Palpatine practice his lightsaber skills while in office?

Probably with sparring droids. They may not pose quite the same challenge as a full-fledged Jedi Master, but they'd help keep him from getting rusty during downtime. Alternatively, teaching Maul and Dooku probably gave him plenty of practice.
