So the I'm in a with an aldori. So at level 3 he gained Defensive Parry which says "At 3rd level, when an Aldori swordlord makes a full attack with an Aldori dueling sword, he gains a +1 bonus to AC against melee attacks until the beginning of his next turn. This bonus increases by +1 every four levels after 3rd." So here's the problem, as I understand Full Attack, you are required to be dual-wielding or have a BAB that lets you have multiple attacks. So the question is, is the Defensive Parry ability useless to him until he gets to level 6? Since he will not dual-wield. Or can he actually do a Full-attack without dual-wield?

you can full attack whenever you want even at level 1 with only one attack.
The full attack action lets you make all your attacks but doesn't require you having more than one attack, which is why most low level character find themselves quite mobile choosing to std attack as they gain no benefit from the full attack.

Yes its usable at low-level because of dual wield, but if your not dual-wielding the entire concept of Full Attack at low-level makes absolutely no sense

It's not so much that it makes no sense, just that without something like duel-wielding or flurry of blows there's no reason not to just use a standard action rather than a full attack action.
If, however, you get +1 AC from the Aldori ability, that's a good enough reason to use a full attack action.
