Re: Kendo as training aid?

A slightly different take ...
About twenty years ago, while still studying Aikido, I studied a northern style of Kung Fu for about a year. The net of it was that I appreciated Aikido that much more. It may be worth it for that alone.

As a data point, we did have a long time kendo student come into one of our jo classes and it seemed pretty hard for him to break that giddy-up shuffling step that they like to do.
