I haven't done much kendo but have some idea on qualities needed. You want to be as fast and explosive as possible, with endurance right? So I think the exercises I mentioned would be a place to start.
Figure out where you are lacking and start there.

Never thought of band resisted lunges with a shinai - thank you!
The challenge isn't in coming up with the exercises - I have good books and old training logs. I made a list of the things I think should be included: the jump rope intervals are on there and so are pushups.The challenge is arranging them in a logical format that supports the two kendo days. I'm finding it challenging because 1. I haven't written my own program before and 2. I've never trained for a sport-centered goal before. The fact that I picked a not particularly common sport just adds to the fun.
(In contrast, I can google "training programs for basketball" and come up with a gazillion hits.)
