I need to work on my kenjutsu and was thinking of going to another Kenjutsu ryu school but I don't know which particular one. Does anyone know of a ryu similar to the stances, forms, kamae and stuff of bujinkan kenjutsu? I don't want to go to a school and end up learning bad habits to supplement my bujinkan training :/

Several ryu teach kenjutsu, there are too many names to give them all. If you manage to find some japanese school you they'll probably teach kenjutsu there...
What I did to resolve this problem is take some classes in tendo ryu, I also had naginata lessons, which was great since I've never even done naginata in bujinkan (even though I know my sensei teach it as well)
It was the clossest I could get for improving my kenjutsu even though the kamae and techniques weren't always the same.
The basic principles of kenjutsu still remain the same.

depends on your definition of bad, lots of people in the buj aren't the best swordsmen. just like nagase is the one to go to for shuriken someya is the best for kenjutsu. learning how to use a sword will help you learn to use a sword the bujinkan way

I started training in Tenshin Shoden Katori Shinto Ryu and i like it very much cause in the Ryu you can learn all the bujutsu weapons not only the sword, but kodachi, ryoto, naginata, bo, shuriken, etc...I think the TSKR with the 3 branches is the biggest KoRyu school outside Japan.

Yeah but the problem with that is you can only commit to that school and no other school when you do the blood seal. And I'm not planning on quitting bujinkan.
