your problem is caused by the fact that kendo is a sport- hence the no sidestep- also, you will find that in sport fencing- yep, no sidestep there either... thats one of the big differences between sport and real- not sidestepping limits the options, and to an extent the potential for crazy events resulting in injury- it also forces you to develope and use certain techniques- I have practiced while standing on a log, about 6 inches off the ground, and it forces you to learn to defend yourself with parries, and to keep /be aware of distance, as there is no other option- if you do this kind of practice along with "in the round" sparring, then you wind up with a good all around capacity.......
