I don't think it's that, so much as it is that Blake hasn't had any formal huntress training. Everyone except Jaune and Blake have had actual formal hunter training, and both Jaune and Blake haven't been able to manage a fight on their own as a result. Blake is better than Jaune because she learned at least some fighting ability from her time in the White Fang, but she was always accompanied by someone else in the White Fang, like Adam.

Monty has said that Blake's weapon will get an upgrade later, so that could help. She probably made that weapon on her own without a professional weapon teacher.
