Every single time I hear someone say "Ruby is helpless without her weapon" in any way, I would like to grab a fish, slap a picture of Vol.1's Ep1's thumbnail on it, and slap that person in the face with it.

She literally began the series by kicking a man through a window without her weapon. She isn't helpless without her weapon, she just isn't anywhere as good as Merc or Yang in CQC, and even if she trained it wouldn't change anything since people like Merc have trained at it for years while she hasn't. Haven at best just proved that "training in CQC" only works for Ruby if the plot demands that her opponent becomes a complete idiot.

Besides, if she loses her weapon, she still has her Semblance. Either she dashes to get it back ASAP with minimal time loss, or she uses her Speed to do what The Flash does: Be strong by sheer force of Newtonian Physics.
