I don't know, "trainieren" would not be wrong, but I just never thought of using it. Even though kendo is something I take seriously I wouldn't say "Ich trainiere Kendo." Genausowenig wie ich zum Beispiel Fußball "trainieren" würde, ich würde dann einfach sagen "Ich spiele Fußball." "Trainieren" just isn't so widely used, I think. But I do say "Ich gehe zum Kendo-Training."
"Studieren" is not the same as "to study", it is commonly used for being at a university, like in "Ich studiere Jura." I don't think a native speaker would use it.
Well, at least I don't.
