Interesting topic...
I still think having shinpan is essential. Having a computer keep score is a good idea, but judging is good practice for shinpan as well. Being able to watch both participants and accurately acertain between good and bad hits is essensial to furthering ones skills in kendo. It is no small wonder that judging is part of the yondan examination.
