And besides, it was in a battle of swordplay, something Unohana hasn't practiced for at least 110 years. She didn't use Kido or anything else, or even her full bankai. She was babying him practically. she had unlocked his true power which was greater than hers, also while it's true she hasn't been the captain of the 11 division for along time, that does not mean she stopped practicing swordplay in fact it previously(as in before we learned that she was the first kenpachi) been stated that while she is a master healer her specialty was swordplay

It's more or less implied that Unohana turned from that path and focussed on healing. Yeah, her sword play was better than her healing, but that's only because she learned healing to prolong her fights and not out of extreme interest, or at least at first. Besides, the point stands. She didn't Kido his ass, which she could have, or even use all of her Shunpo techniques.
