I always thought that kendo was an anaerobic exercise for the most part. I guess if you look at the practice as a whole it is a aerobic exercise. The only thing that I can say about heart rates is that is it high, and I felt like my heart was in my skull on several occasions!

Kirikaeishi should be done in two breaths: once before you start, and again during the second taiatari. Most higher level senseis are able to do it in a single breath, independent of speed. All exercises should be done with minimizing breathing, since it is when you are breathing that you are the most vunerable.
