Honestly, if you ask me, I don't think Kidou would be a good fit if that's what your intentions are. Reiatsu is shown to be a physical manifestation of reiryoku in the form of pressure. It can be used to enhance the body, support the frail constitution (Ukitake), exhibit passion and aggression (Ichigo, Zaraki, Yachiru, et cetera), impose intimidation (Yamamoto), and so on. This is why it is a favorite for Hakuda and Zanjutsu. Which is why, to a Kidou specialist, reiatsu seems messy or unnecessary. It's too unrefined for Kidou, and I do think Nanja may agree with my assertion on that, if only partially. Putting them together doesn't accomplish anything besides give you two superfluous methods of fighting. I mean, think about it. If you have absolute control over reiatsu, why do you even need Kidou? You can throw reiatsu, shield yourself with reiatsu, empower yourself with reiatsu, so what would the point of having Kidou be at that point? And if you look at it from the other point, mastering Kidou, why would you need anything beyond fundamental reiatsu control?
