Clarste mentioned the important bits, but Kirito had also practiced with swords when he was young (mentions this to Silica regarding his imouto). Although his grandfather's strict attitude ultimately turned him away from kendo he was still interested in swords and it is probably why he chose to use them in SAO. He had practiced with a shinai so a sword would naturally feel the closest or natural of all the weapons.
