@Taro_Tanako I didn't say it can't cut, I was implying it's made to thrust rather than slash. Anyway it seems that i'm the only one defending HEMA here so what evs XD TFW ftw

You don't need to parry, as I said, "attack and jump out"; a kendo user has a more front stance while a fencer has a more side stance; a front forward stance has a good balance but the side stance has more "move in and out". The fencer has more target to choose from because two hands are available for pin point thrusting. But a rapier is a thrust sword not a cutting sword.

While Kendo has the power side of the two, fencing has an overwhelming reach advantage, if you'll see the stance; this reach makes it easy for the fencer to attack and jump out while the Kendo practioner will find it hard to hit the fencer. Next, the hilt of a rapier(if it'll be the weapon used) or mostly fencing type swords have a good guard covering their whole hands while the katana has an oval shape guard good for minimal defense only. And lastly, what is easier to parry, a piercing thrust or a slash? Simple, the slash.
