Two Questions...

First: what is the general opinion on Shinkendo?

Second: where can I train in sword arts around San Diego?

Not sure about the San Deigo area but if you get up to Anaheim/Garden Grove area checkout Euclid Street Below ball Rd. There used to be a "Karate" school just south of Cerritos St.( a block below ball Rd.) The Sensei there 10 years ago taught A sword Art(not sure which one).
He was good.
I have been trying to find out if he is still there but have lost my contacts in that area.

Try posting on some of the other sword boards also. You might get some response on e-budo or swordforum. I usualy read all three and can get a good idea which way the wind is blowing. If you cant find a Shinkendo school maybe you can find an Aikido school that has some sword arts (most do). Any particular reason you are leaning toward Shinkendo?

Why pursue Shinkendo? It's taught locally, and it seems pretty cool. I admire the founder, Obata. I also admire the art.

Can you give out the web locations of other sword-based forums?

Try www.e-budo.com and www.swordforum.com/ for starters.

What is distinctive about the shinkendo (www.shinkendo.com)system?
