That is what training is. Training isn't all about doing hands on activities, it's also about observing how their teachers or others adept at the field, do it.

The reason why they don't train Steven that hard is because, in all honesty, they don't want that type of life for him. They just wanted Steven to have a normal human life without having the worries of danger and death looming at every corner wherever he treads. But they are forced to do so because Steven's mindset of helping others, uncaring of his own personal safety as long as he protects whatever is important to him.

The Gems (Garnet, Pearl, and Amethyst) look at Steven as ther own child (Amy's more of a sister but anyways . . .) and Steven looks up at them like mothers. And no mother would want to see their child getting hurt.

But at this point they better start prepping him. He's just in too deep right now and keeping him vulnerable would be disastrous.
