I've been doing Kendo for about three years myself and I would highly recommend it as an answer for all the questions you have...
Especially regarding the sports angle. Yes, you will spar but Kendo is ultimately a battle with yourself. The cardio workout is like nothing I have ever experienced, especially once you are wearing Bogu (the armour).
