In regards to your question, Kuniharu is proficient enough in Hakuda to teach somebody the basics of martial art combat. Zanjutsu is, at its core, about communication between the wielder and the sword. Therefore, from a Zanjutsu perspective, Hakuda would be about a relationship between yourself and the opponent. This is why many swordsman are known to have arts like Jujutsu under their belt, rather than something like Karate, because it serves support rather than equal contribution to the fighting style. Kuniharu would most likely have a high degree of Jujutsu mastery, so in terms of Hakuda, that's what he would teach. He'd probably teach the basics of Hakuda Taisabaki and Hakuda Bunkai. So yes, he could teach proficiency for both in some way.

If you really care about adhering to the Nanami Principle, you need simply to look at Kousa like a puzzle. Every piece of the puzzle, or rather part of his abilities, you add to him, has to fit together and support each other to create a complete picture. For instance, advanced knowledge in Kido suggests a lot of study and therefore little attention would be paid toward the movements of the body. Would they be physically strong? Sure, that's possible. But they wouldn't have refined control of their body. Maybe they are a bit clumsy. Or excessive physical motion would get them tired out quicker than most. On the other hand, a person devoted toward the experience of combat and physical martial arts would have very little time to have studied advanced spell mechanics.

Everything has to have a balance. You have to remember that, with Kousa or any character, you are working with a living and breathing individual. Spending time in their life mastering certain skills means taking away time that could've been used toward other skills, and therefore, you have to reflect this when designing his fighting style and characteristics.
