Does anyone here have any swordplay/fighting experience? My school offers classes and clubs in two styles: Fencing and Kendo.

I only have time to commit to one so I need a bit of advice in choosing.

My objective:

*Learn a new and interesting skill (Kind of intuitive and old schoolish)
*Instill and maintain personal discipline ( I usually participate in team
sports, wanted to try an individual activity)
*Exercise (cardio, flexiblility, dexterity, some upper? body & arm strength)
*I'm not too into the "sport" aspect, more into the skill set and training
aspect)

I don't know much about either one but I'm going to guess that fencing is more of a 16th-19th century European style, no shield, one-handed. Kendo is ???, no shield, two-handed martial arts style.
