Default Creating a Training Program Around Kendo Practice

I'm putting together a training program that would support a twice-weekly kendo practice (Wed & Sat).

The limiting factors are:
1. Time: I can dedicate 60-90 minutes per day to a session.
2. Location: Will be either at home or a local park, no gym.
3. Equipment: Available items are a jump rope, a stability ball and a purple (Light) JumpStretch band. No weights at this time unless I find something at this weekend's garage sales. :-)

Other thoughts:
My upper body, especially shoulders and forearms, get plenty of work during the practices themselves, so my initial thought is to go light on these.

I'm looking for both
a. advice on structure of program - where to put strength and conditioning in relation to each other and in relation to the practices; and,
b. first hand experiences from folks who are practicing the same or similar art.

Thanks in advance,

Mich
