Common mistake.I think that's why some kendo folks don't like the idea (altough many practice shinkendo). Shinkendo is Shinken-do as the way of the true sword, not true kendo.

As for creating a new style. Normaly when you reach Menkyo kaiden you are suppose to have mastered the style and know pretty much all there is to know (although it depends on the ryu) and can start your own one. Obata sensei did.
