If the device were real, it could be used for practicing skill sports. Strength training would still be important (as NervGear doesn't train muscles - only the mind).
Gymnastics and diving come to mind. The main limitation is that the body can take only so much practice a day. NervGear would allow the mind to surpass the limits of the body.

While the NervGear could be used as an excellent training aid, its VR isn't quite sophisticated enough to replace reality.
And don't forget, the mind has its limits too. You can be mentally exhausted just as much as you can be physically. A day full of training in RL, followed by a night full of training in VR sounds like a good way to burnout fast.
Edit: And I think it's less that Kirito remembered his Kendo skills from two years ago, and more that he tried to apply what he learned in SAO to the real world.
